The exchange program with three of our sister schools in China, Qujing Nationality Middle School, Yancheng Middle School and Shanghai Industrial and Commercial Foreign Languages School has run smoothly and successfully since it was established. Overall, we have hosted 10 visiting groups of students and teachers from China. The Chinese visiting students and teachers have enjoyed their stay in Stawell and our students and teachers have certainly benefited through the language and culture exchange program.  \nEvery two years, Stawell Secondary College organizes a China Study Tour for our students to experience the culture and gain further exposure to the language. Our first China trip in 2011, was a great success and received positive feedback from both parents and students. Although Stawell has limited resources due to its geographical location, our students still demonstrate a passion for the language and aim for a high level of achievement. In 2012, three of our students from Years 9 and 10 successfully accessed the Chinese Scholarship Program and took part in a two-week exchange program in Beijing. Altogether, Stawell Secondary College students participated in eight in-country excursions (three of them were through the Victorian Education Department named ‘The Victorian Young Leaders to China Program’), throughout all of the international trips, our students fully grasped the opportunity and embraced the language and culture. They were very keen to make friends, improved their Chinese language skills and explored the Chinese way of life. Moreover, Stawell Secondary College has built a positive and cooperative relationship with our sister schools in China.  \nStudents have benefitted from a large number of in-country experiences, and this has resulted in a positive influence on the wider school community. In 2020, our Chinese program was viewed as one of the successful highlights of Stawell Secondary College through our whole school review.  \nUnfortunately, with the global pandemic, the exchange programs have had to pause due to the travel restrictions between China and Australia. To combat this, we started to take advantage of online platforms and tried to promote the intercultural communication via several programs. These programs not only replicated our China trips, but also related to the short-stay program we used to host annually, before the pandemic. The mutual relationships were strengthened and cultural understanding was enhanced. Below is a list of the online programs we have organised:  \n1. Sister school summer camp online program (2020-2022)  \n2. Sister school pen-pal program for Year 8 – Year 12 students (2020, 2021,2022,2023)  \n3. Virtual Victorian Young Leaders to China Program (2022,2023)  \n4. Victorian Young Leaders Online Forum (2020, 2021)  \nApart from the online programs, we have organised numerous cultural incursions, Melbourne Chinatown excursions and have encouraged students to participate in Chinese language competitions, to compensate for the reduction in hands-on learning and first-hand cultural immersion opportunities.  \nAll of these activities and the programs listed above served the following purposes and achieved positive outcomes:  \n1. To allow our Stawell students to communicate with people in China in a real-world context, instead of being limited to Chinese in classrooms, so they can see the practical purpose of learning the language.  \n2. To develop inter-cultural communication skills and global competency, which are valuable skills in a modern global, social and political environment.  \n3. To promote an interest and passion towards learning anothe","cbCaidSmIFIbPSp0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidSmIFIbPSp0","pdf",131928,"English","# Program history and development\n## Curriculum introduction and growth\n## Sister school exchanges and study tours\n# Pandemic response and online programs\n## Online exchange activities\n## Cultural incursions and competitions\n# Outcomes and student achievements\n## Communication, global competency, and interest\n## Awards and proficiency tests\n# Future plans","[{\"question\":\"When did the Chinese Language Program begin at Stawell Secondary College, and how did it expand?\",\"answer\":\"The program traces back to 2001.
