A welcoming Saturday community where children and families learn Mandarin, explore Chinese culture, and grow alongside neighbours. 每周六，与家人和朋友一起学中文、感受中华文化。
Our school is part of a proud tradition. Our main school has been committed to Chinese language education in Melbourne since 1971 — making it one of the longest-serving Chinese educational organisations in Victoria. That legacy of community, culture, and language learning is the foundation we stand on.
The Casey campus opened in 2017, bringing this tradition to the south-east. We have grown into a school the local community calls its own — small enough that every child is known by name, strong enough to carry a lineage that spans generations.
我们的主校1971年成立于墨尔本，数十年薪火相传，是维州华人社区最具历史的中文教育机构之一。语言与文化，是我们办学的根基。
凯西校区2017年落地东南区，文脉绵延，与社区共同生长。课堂虽小，师生相知；根深叶茂，生生不息。
Casey Foundation Chinese School is rooted in the Casey community. Every Saturday, children learn Mandarin in a warm classroom — language and culture coming together naturally.
Casey中文学校植根凯西社区，每周六，孩子们相聚课堂，语言为纽带，文化铭于心间。
We believe language is a doorway — to family, to heritage, and to the world. Our small class sizes mean each student is known by name, and our curriculum balances structured literacy with cultural arts: calligraphy, paper-cutting, music, dance, and seasonal celebrations.
语言是一扇门——通往家庭，通往血脉，通往世界。小班教学，有名有姓，有声有色。书法、剪纸、音乐、舞蹈，岁时节令，一一经历。
Whether your child is starting their first words or refining their essays, we have a level that meets them where they are. Placement is based on your child's Chinese ability — not their school year. Students without any Chinese background will typically start in the Beginning level, and that is completely normal. We assess every new student individually during their free trial. 分班依据孩子的中文能力——而非学校年级。没有任何中文基础的学生，通常会从启蒙班开始，这完全正常。我们会在免费试课期间对每位新生进行个别评估。
An introduction to Mandarin through songs, stories, and guided play. Students build foundational tones, vocabulary, and a love of the language from their very first lesson. 通过歌谣、故事与游戏，轻松迈入中文世界，培养语感与学习兴趣。
Building reading, writing, and spoken fluency through structured literacy, character recognition, and conversational practice paired with cultural workshops each term. 系统学习汉字读写与日常会话，每学期结合文化主题活动，全面提升语言能力。
Advanced reading, essay writing, and conversation for older students. Builds the skills and confidence needed for VCE Chinese and lifelong language fluency. 深化阅读、写作与口语，为VCE中文及终身流利表达打好基础。
Tap a character to watch it written · 点哪个字，写哪个字
Every character hides a little secret. Tap one to learn how it's said, watch each stroke in order, then read it in a fun sentence. 这里藏着汉字的秘密。点一点，看拼音，看笔顺，再读一个有趣的句子。
Textbooks · 课本
孩子们使用的课本
Our teachers developed a four-level reader designed around our own students — and we pair it with the established 暨南大学《中文》series used by Chinese schools worldwide. 我们的老师为本校学生自编了一套四级读本，并选用全球华校通用的暨南大学《中文》系列作为核心教材。
全球华校通用的中文教材
The 暨南《中文》series is one of the most widely used Mandarin programs for overseas Chinese schools — structured literacy, character recognition, and graded readers our 系统教材班 students grow through. 暨南《中文》是海外华校最广泛采用的中文教程之一，系统的识字与分级阅读，陪伴系统教材班的孩子稳步成长。
One fee covers all your child's classes for the term — no hidden charges or extras. 学费包含整个学期的全部课程，无其他费用。
Families enrolling multiple children are welcome to get in touch. 多名子女就读的家庭欢迎联系我们咨询。
Download the 2026 enrolment form, fill it in, and return it by email or in person on a Saturday. 下载2026年报名表，填写后通过电子邮件或周六当面提交。
The form asks for your child's VSN — a 9-digit number assigned to every student enrolled in a Victorian school (required for Years 1–12). You can find it on Compass, your day school's parent portal, or ask the school office to provide it directly.
报名表需填写孩子的维州学生编号（VSN），即每位维州在校学生的9位专属编号，1至12年级学生必须填写。可在日校Compass家长平台上查找，或直接向日校办公室索取。Many families have similar questions when they first get to know us. Don't worry — we hope the answers below help. 很多家长刚开始认识我们，都会有类似的疑问。别担心，下面这些解答希望能帮到您
Students without any Chinese background start from the Beginning level (启蒙班), regardless of their school year. It is a relaxed, fun environment — the focus is on building confidence and a genuine love of the language. We confirm the right level during the free trial, and students can move between levels at any time. 没有中文基础的孩子，建议从启蒙班开始，先在轻松有趣的环境里培养语感和兴趣。我们会在免费试课期间确认最合适的班级，之后也可以随时根据孩子的进度调整。
Yes. Many of our families have children across multiple levels. Both children can attend on the same Saturday. 可以。我们许多家庭都有就读不同班级的孩子，两位孩子可以在同一个周六一起上课。
We give children an appropriate amount of weekly practice to help reinforce what was covered in class — enough to be useful, not so much that it becomes a burden. There is a summative assessment every two terms. There are no formal report cards — our teachers keep in touch with parents to share how each child is getting on. 每周会布置适量的练习，帮孩子把课堂所学记得更牢，分量适中不会造成压力。每两个学期会有一次阶段性评估，但不设正式成绩单——老师会随时跟家长沟通，分享孩子的学习情况。
Every Saturday during the school term. Check the dates below to plan your year ahead. 每学期每周六上课，请参考以下日期安排您的全年计划。
Our calendar is shaped by the rhythm of the Chinese year — festivals, performances, and family gatherings that bring our community together. 本校活动以中国传统节日为主轴，融合节庆演出与家庭聚会，凝聚社区情谊。

We are always looking for dedicated volunteers to join our teaching team. Teaching experience or a background in Chinese language, education, or a related field is valued. Most of all, we look for a genuine love of Mandarin and working with children. 我们诚邀有志于中文教育的人士加入志愿教学团队。具备教学经验，或拥有中文、教育及相关领域背景者尤为欢迎。我们最看重的，是对中文教育的热忱与对孩子的真诚关爱。
