Our Chinese community is one that is built on multicultural diversity in Victoria.  We have a strong appreciation of the respect and value that people from all nationalities and cultures have made their contributions to our state.

Chinese Fellowship Chinese School is to be congratulated on over its 40 years initiatives and practices which support the educational Chinese Language service to the community.  The school is committed to promoting equity and excellence to all its students which successfully engages these students in a range of different levels Chinese Language program to extend their learning.  This is a school where students are actively being prepared for life as global and multicultural citizens.  Its consistently high academic achievements exceed the benchmarks and the State standards in Chinese language learning.

For many families, the Chinese school is their first experience of the Community Languages Australia education system. Chinese Fellowship Chinese School is able to make a positive contribution that addresses the language education, personal and social needs of students and their families.

This valuing of inclusion and diversity has been a part of Chinese Fellowship Chinese school since our foundation, and has encouraged a proper respect for all people and their cultures, and the contributions thereby made to knowing who we are and what we aspire to the excellence.

Our Chinese school greatly appreciates the good partnership with Carey Baptist Grammar School and Templestowe College over the years with the exclusive use of school campus on Saturdays and Sundays. The partnership building allows the Chinese school to add values in our pursuit of excellence and effectively accomplish our goal.
