启明星市场部也对查永茂博士进行了简短采访:
问:在您看来,学校应该帮助学生在哪些方面做好应对未来世界的准备?
答:有两点是学校教育最为需要关注的:首先,知识总是不断扩展、快速发展的,要学生在学校学习阶段掌握全部知识内容并不现实。所以对学生而言,能够进行适应性强、又能随时调整的终身持续学习能力至关重要。另外,价值观和品格一旦形成会伴随和影响人的一生,因此,相关方面的培养也特别重要。
问:是什么原因让您决定加入启明星?
答:我对双语双文化的学习方式充满热情。我相信这样的学习方式能为创建一个更美好、更和平的世界带来最大的希望。启明星的愿景与使命和我关于双语双文化学习的理念高度契合。所以,我希望能成为启明星教育和学习之旅的一分子!
问:我们想听听您对启明星的观感?
答:启明星正处在快速发展的过程中,而且方向是正确的。它以卓越和团结为重点,并以关爱、服务、尊重等核心价值为支撑,为学校的未来奠定了坚实的基础。
问:您有什么话想要和我们的家长说吗?
答:教育是我们能给予孩子最宝贵且持久的礼物。作为管理团队的一员,我会始终将学习者和学习置于所有决策和实践的中心。
相信查永茂博士的加入会为启明星的发展带来更大助力,我们热烈欢迎他!

◉ Bachelor’s degree from the University of Queensland, Master of Arts and Graduate Diploma in Education from Monash University, and PhD from the University of Melbourne
◉ Former CEO of The ISF Pre-School and The ISF Academy Foundation, as well as Head of School at ISF Academy; Former Principal of Kormilda College (an IB independent school in Darwin, Australia); Former Deputy Principal of Caulfield Grammar School in Melbourne, and Founding Head of its Nanjing campus focused on Chinese language and culture immersion

◉ Fellow of the Australian College of Educators (FACE), Fellow of the Australian Institute of Management (FAIM), and Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (GAICD)
Dr. Pritchard also sincerely shared with us his vision of what education should look like.
Q:How should schools prepare its students for the future?
A:Knowledge is constantly expanding and rapidly evolving; mastery of content at school is therefore impractical. Lifelong or continuous learning that is adaptive and nimble is essential. Values and character will endure for a lifetime. These two aspects are what schools need to focus on most in education.
Q: Why did you decide to join the Advisory Board of Daystar Academy?
A: I am passionate about bilingual/bicultural learning as it offers the best hope for a better and more peaceful world. The Daystar vision and mission align strongly with my own views on this particular approach to learning. I want to be part of this journey.
Q: What is your impression of Daystar Academy?
A: Daystar is on its own rapid developmental journey, but it is heading in the right direction. A focus on excellence and unity, underpinned by essentials such as caring, service, respect, creates a strong foundation for the future.
Q: Any message for our parents?
A: Education is the most precious and enduring gift we can offer our children. As a part of the governance team, my approach will always be one that places the learner and learning at the center of any decision, policy, or practice.
We warmly welcome Dr. Pritchard and believe that his joining will greatly contribute to Daystar’s development!
