尊敬的家长/ 监护人:

2016 年开始了!经过两年的努力建设,我们终于完成了学校的设备提升,终于回到

了既熟悉又设备齐全的马林百列校园。

过去两年,学校虽然在临时校舍,然而那里环境清幽,也称得上是一个理想的学习

场所。大家不止学会了适应新环境,更学会了分享有限的资源。过去两年,在大家的努力

奋斗之下,道南依旧在方方面面取得骄人的成绩,这是难能可贵的。我们今天有了美丽崭

新的校园,我们一定要感谢教育部,福建会馆,学校团队及家长们的支持努力。

学校办校的宗旨是在培养品格高尚、好学不倦,并富有创意的学生。我们坚信在全

体教职员、学生和家长的合作与努力下,学校丰富和多元化的活动能帮助学生应对 21 世纪

的挑战,并激发他们对学习的热忱,学生们也将发挥他们的潜能,取得更优异的表现。

我也想借此机会祝愿您和您的孩子在新的一年里过得充实顺利。

This would also facilitate the processing of your returns for the school’s term-end or year-end administrative reviews such as feedback and surveys, P4 Parental Option for Higher Chinese and P5 Discontinuation of Higher Chinese.

在上课期间,我们吁请您避免带孩子出国度假。一方面是担心学生们会耽误课业,

另一方面也是为了方便您处理一些学期末或年终相应的行政工作,例如填写反馈表

和调查表、为小四生选修高级华文,以及让孩子在小五結束前选择在小六不修读高

级华文等等。

For selected students who demonstrate language proficiency and competency in Chinese and show an immense interest in our Chinese culture, the school will help to develop their potential through the Tao Nan Bi-cultural Chinese Elective Programme (TN BiCEP). Last but not least, TNS has an extensive exchange and immersion programme for our students to achieve an out-of-classroom learning experience and nurture within them a global perspective. These overseas trips provide our students with enriched learning experiences in Chinese culture appreciation. They also allow our students to relate the Chinese cultural knowledge they have learnt in school to a native Chinese speaking environment which they will be immersed in.
