Chung Wah Chinese School Council
Established in 1974, Chung Wah Chinese School (CWCS) Council operates three teaching campuses situated in Leeming, Morley and Rossmoyne with more than 1,000 student enrolments from pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, pre-primary, Year 1 to 12 and adult classes.
In addition to Year 11 and 12, CWCS caters for Hanyu Shuiping Koashi (HSK) or Chinese proficiency test in CWCS Leeming and offers the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) achievements that complement mainstream school requirements in CWCS Rossmoyne. Qualified teachers with current WA Education Department Teachers license and relevant qualifications conduct these classes.
CWCS is equipped with experienced and skilled teaching resources to conduct classes in both background and non-background Chinese language. Highlight of the Year – School App
Cultural Extra-Curricular Activities (ECA)
CWCS coordinates co-curricular activities in arts and crafts, Chinese cultural dance, Chinese musical instruments, Chinese rhymes singing, diablo, drama, calligraphy, painting and drawing, sketching, abacus, performance arts, table tennis and martial arts to supplement language learning and promote culture. Over three hundred CWCS students participated in Chinese cultural activities after classroom lessons reciprocated with the ability to interact in Chinese Mandarin during ECA.
CWCS continues to cultivate cultural talents through festivities such as Chinese New Year, Dumpling Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. Celebrations of major Chinese festivals such as these are a part of that culture and tradition which is evident by the large scale community participation. In collaboration with the West Australian Football Commission (WAFC) ongoing development of junior football programs have been introduced to Chung Wah kids.
In February 2018, CWCS Leeming implemented its school app which was a milestone achievement and enabled a fast and convenient way to communicate with users to enhance connectivity with school parents. Communication insofar as announcements, newsletters, events calendars and important messages to parents utilises push alert notifications. Parents can access children’s homework directly from the school app especially the lower primary classes. Furthermore, parents and guardians are able to complete e-forms such as absentee form, change of details and can invite a second parent to join the app including online enrolment such as the recent WAFC multicultural footy classes. CWCS Leeming school app is free for school parents and guardians to download from the app store. The school app operates on IOS, Android and Windows phones and tablets.
Phase two of the CWCS Leeming school app will incorporate library management. Teachers and staff will undergo familiarisation training in the use of the app. So far, in excess of 300 users have installed the app with more than 2,000 app contents being viewed by users/parents since implementation. It is intended that the school app will be gradually rolled out to CWCS Morley and CWCS Rossmoyne in 2019 under the supervision of Wee En Chu.
The school app project is the brainchild of Wee En Chu with CWCS Leeming School Management Committee (SMC). Planning discussion work commenced with CWCS Council since 2017. The school app project in CWCS Leeming is led by Wee En Chu, SMC Chairman supported by Clarence Sin, Enrolment Officer and Caroline Tay, Assistant Enrolment Officer.
