講題: AI年代點教好下一代？在澳港人家長的現實與選擇

講座內容
唔少香港家庭移民到澳洲，起初以為澳洲讀書壓力細啲，小朋友可以讀得輕鬆啲、開心啲；但住耐咗先發現，現實未必係咁。OC、Selective School，甚至部分私立學校嘅競爭其實都好激烈，喺澳洲成長嘅亞裔小朋友，愈來愈多都要靠課後補習、額外操練先跟得上。

同一時間，AI浪潮改變學習同未來職場要求，而澳洲學生喺PISA等國際評估入面，閱讀同數學等基礎能力表現，長期同香港、新加坡、日本等地有明顯差距。作為家長，我哋應唔應該加大額外支援？點樣避免不知不覺變成「虎媽虎爸」，又唔會令小朋友輸在起跑線？如果想小朋友繼續講廣東話、學中文，會唔會影響英文學習？定係其實雙語/多語反而係優勢？

講者自小喺澳洲成長，其後返香港任教大學十多年，近年舉家回流澳洲。今次講座會結合親身經驗，同家長分享喺 AI 時代下，如何培養小朋友真正需要嘅能力，並一齊探討點樣為小朋友建立一個合適嘅學習環境。

誠邀你參加呢場以家長為本、務實易明嘅分享與討論，一齊喺AI年代為下一代作出更有資訊、更平衡嘅選擇。

Title of the Talk
How Do We Raise and Educate Kids in the Age of AI? Realities and Choices for Hong Kong Parents in Australia

Talk Description
Many Hong Kong families who move to Australia expect school life to be less stressful—and that children can learn more easily and happily. But over time, many parents discover a different reality. Competition for Opportunity Classes (OC), selective schools, and even some private schools can be intense. More and more Asian-background children growing up in Australia are turning to after-school tutoring and extra training just to keep up.

At the same time, as AI reshapes learning and work, Australia’s results in international assessments such as PISA continue to lag behind places like Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan in core skills like reading and mathematics. So what should parents do? Should we provide more academic support outside school? How do we avoid becoming “tiger parents” without leaving our kids underprepared? And if we want our children to keep speaking Cantonese and learning Chinese, will that slow down their English development—or can bilingualism be a strength?

This session also looks at the changing digital environment for children. Australia is moving to implement a “social media ban for under-16s”—what might this mean for kids’ learning, social lives, and wellbeing? And platforms like Roblox, which blend gaming with creativity and user-generated content: are they mainly risks to manage, or opportunities to learn?

Join us for a practical, parent-focused discussion to help you make informed, balanced choices for your child in an AI-driven world.

The talk will be given in Cantonese.
