Learn Chinese with BSSC Confucius Classroom - Kids' Lessons
Bendigo Senior Secondary College Confucius Classroom have been running Chinese lessons for kids at different ages since 2013. We believe exposing a child to a foreign language at an early age will result in much easier and better fluency than if they learn later in life. The Chinese lessons for kids aim to develop children's interest in the language and help them build skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing through fun and engaging activities. Students will also have the opportunities to explore Chinese culture through hands-on activities, creating Chinese crafts, making and tasting food etc..
We welcome kids who are aged between 4 and 13 years old register their interest for the Kids Chinese Classes.

Monday TRADITIONAL CHINESE PAINTING CLASS (AGED 10 - 14) - MS TANG
Traditional Chinese Painting run by BSSC Language Centre
Traditional Chinese Painting is one of the oldest continuous artistic traditions in the world. Painting in the traditional style is known today in Chinese as guóhuà, meaning "national" or "native painting", as opposed to Western styles of art which became popular in China in the 20th century. Traditional painting involves essentially the same techniques as calligraphy and is done with a brush dipped in black ink or coloured pigments; oils are not used.
In this Seven-lesson program, students will be introduced to materials of traditional Chinese Painting such as Chinese brush, ink, rice paper, Chinese painting colour and painting pad etc. Students will experience and learn steps to paint the three Chinese flowers, the Morning Glory, the Peony, the Daffodil and the Pumpkin, as well as four types of Australian flowers.
Students need to be between 10 to 14 years old to register for the program.
