Mission
The Chinese Panda Reading Initiative started in 2015. Our mission is promoting in students an enjoyment of and lifelong interest in Chinese language and literature. This reading initiative encourages young learners of the Chinese language to appreciate the stylistic and aesthetic qualities of Chinese texts. We envision a future that all learners of Chinese language enjoy reading Chinese books of their own choice, and the passion of reading will become a good auxiliary for their language learning.
Projects
Panda Book Awards. The Chinese Panda Reading Initiative Steering Committee provides a shortlist of book titles for the community every year. The booklist is to present a wide range of periods, styles and genres. Students are encouraged to read and participate in the voting in March. The finalists will be announced on World Book and Copyright Day.
Visiting Authors and Guest Speakers. The committee will invite writers, experts, and literacy specialists to the school to interact with our students, in the forms of forums, seminars, reading and writing workshops, etc.
Publications of students’ work. The committee will provide various opportunities for student to publish and share their works via different media platforms, e.g. radio broadcast, magazine articles, journals, etc.

“悦读熊猫”中文读书计划
“悦读熊猫”读书计划始于2015年，此计划旨在培养学生对中文阅读的兴趣和文学鉴赏能力，并且能够从阅读中获得愉悦。该阅读计划的书单由“悦读熊猫”计划筹委会的中文老师们推荐后精选产生。我们由衷希望不同年龄段的中文学习者都能广泛阅读不同时期、地域以及不同文体的作品，并从中体味中文之美。
自2015年12月正式启动以来，此阅读计划每年产生一份新的推荐书单，学生可以为自己最喜欢的中文书投票。投票时间通常为每年的三月份，获奖书单将会在每年的世界图书与版权日公布。在今后的日子里，我们也会邀请作家及嘉宾来校内参与活动，与学生近距离互动，为学生们举办座谈、写作坊、诵读工作坊，以及其他语言相关活动，希望有兴趣的学生能够有更多的机会接触中文，运用中文，以多种形式、在不同平台上发表自己的作品，并得到专业人士的反馈。
希望老师和家长们鼓励学生积极参与“悦读熊猫”读书计划。阅读滋养心灵，书香引领成长。开卷有益！
