Welcome to the BSSC Community Classes Program, a vibrant hub of Chinese language and cultural exchange, fostered through our cherished partnership with Dongzhou Middle School, located in Haimen, Jiangsu Province, China. Since its inception in late 2010 and its ceremonial inauguration in June 2011, our program has flourished, marking considerable progress and celebrating numerous milestones in offering comprehensive Chinese language and culture programs to the Bendigo community.

Our initiative extends beyond the classroom, as we actively collaborate with local communities and schools to curate and support a plethora of cultural events. These endeavors are designed to broaden our students’ horizons, deepening their appreciation for intercultural diversity and fostering a global mindset.

We are thrilled to offer a diverse array of Chinese language classes tailored to various age groups and proficiency levels, facilitating a rich learning experience for both children and adults within our community. Our classes are conveniently scheduled on Mondays and Wednesdays and are structured as follows:

Monday Classes:

• School-age Classes for Chinese Background Children: Catered to kids of different linguistic abilities to ensure a nurturing and effective learning environment. For more information, please refer to our dedicated webpage https://bsscchinese.notion.site/.
