【澳洲悉尼：自然生態與文化脈絡探究之旅】精彩啟航

Sydney Discovery Tour of Nature and Culture: Off to a Great Start!

本校小三至小六級學生於2026年6月18日至24日遠赴澳洲悉尼，展開為期七天六夜的境外深度研習。本次課程將學習場域由課堂延伸至南半球的國際都會，全面融合自然生態、歷史人文、當代美學與語言應用四大領域，旨在透過境外實地考察，培養學生具備全球競爭力與多元文化視野，為邁向全球發展奠定堅實基石。

在自然科學與生態倫理方面，同學實地考察了藍山國家公園、悉尼野生動物園及水族館。透過觀測南半球特有物種的進化路徑，並研究全球暖化對生態系統的衝擊，引導學生建立尊重生命與環境可持續發展的價值觀。同時，課程亦聚焦於歷史建築與都市脈絡的探究，同學走訪岩石區（The Rocks）、聖瑪麗大教堂及維多利亞女王大廈（QVB），深入梳理悉尼的發展軌跡，並探討古典建築在現代商業空間中的保育與活化意義。

此外，為提升學生的視覺素養與當代美學，研習團前往澳洲當代藝術博物館（MCA）及海德公園，引導同學解讀多元媒介藝術，並分析人文與綠色空間共融的城市美學，拓寬感官認知。整個行程更是一場沉浸式英語與全球溝通的實踐，配合專屬英語強化課程，學生需在全英語環境中與當地社群進行深度互動並完成探究任務。這不但大幅提升了同學的語言應用精準度，更讓他們在跨文化溝通中建立自信，真正落實國際視野的日常化。

Our P.3 to P.6 students embarked on a 7-day study tour to Sydney, Australia, from June 18 to 24, 2026. This immersive journey extended learning beyond the classroom, integrating natural ecology, history, aesthetics, and language application to nurture globally competitive citizens with intercultural perspectives.

In Science & Ecological Ethics, students explored the Blue Mountains, Wild Life Sydney Zoo, and Sea Life Aquarium to study native species and the impacts of global warming, fostering values of environmental sustainability. For Historical Heritage & Urban Context, visits to The Rocks, St Mary’s Cathedral, and the Queen Victoria Building (QVB) allowed students to trace Sydney's development and examine the modern preservation of classical architecture.

To enrich Visual Literacy & Aesthetics, the group visited the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) and Hyde Park to interpret diverse art forms and analyze urban green space planning. Crucially, the entire tour provided English Immersion & Global Communication. Supported by a specialized English enhancement course, students completed tasks and interacted with local communities entirely in English, sharpening their language precision and building immense cross-cultural confidence.
