Advocate scientific map reform and innovation
Advocating science and being brave in innovation
2 1 century is a century of reform, development and innovation. Innovation is the soul of a nation, and development is the symbol of human progress. And all this is inseparable from science.

As a Chinese-foreign cooperative higher vocational education institution, Huaao College has a new concept, a high starting point, good facilities and full functions. The connotation and essence of school spirit is to create a strong atmosphere of applying what you have learned in the college through unremitting exploration and personal practice by all Chinese and Australians, vigorously advocate reform to find a way out, innovate and develop, and more deeply grasp the laws of private education and higher vocational education in the practice of constantly raising awareness, summing up experience, seeking change and innovation, and reforming and developing, and strive to build China and Australia into a school with advanced concepts, first-class facilities, moderate scale, high quality, distinctive features and good reputation. Concentrate on research and educate people with true feelings
Concentrate on academics and teach with sincerity.
Teachers are the leaders of the school, and the teaching style is related to the future and destiny of China and Australia.
As a Chinese and Australian teacher, you must settle down to engage in education, study in a down-to-earth manner, concentrate on teaching, and be able to stand loneliness and loneliness; Strict scholarship, not impetuous and grandiose, carrying out educational reform according to scientific laws, constantly improving the connotation construction level of the college, improving the level of running a school, and avoiding quick success and instant benefit; We should pay attention to practice, go out, please come in, practice skills and develop talents in the process of school-enterprise cooperation, and cultivate ourselves as a double-qualified teacher who can talk and do as soon as possible.
Come with a heart, not a blade of grass. Teachers should educate people with love, enthusiasm, sincerity, sincerity and patience, and truly do everything for students, all for students, and cultivate students into outstanding talents useful to society with their true love. Pay equal attention to cultivation, determination and truth.
Self-cultivation, both theory and practice.
Style of study is the mental outlook formed by students in their long-term study and life, which plays an important role in influencing and guiding students' growth.
Huaao advocates a style of study that pays equal attention to self-cultivation, determination and truth-seeking. Self-cultivation is the foundation of career. In today's money worship, we should pay more attention to guiding students to cultivate noble sentiments, be proud of honesty, thrift and simplicity, be ashamed of being false, lazy and extravagant, and be ashamed of doing wrong. Determination is the way to start a business. Goethe once said that it is important to set a great goal and make up your mind to achieve it. The important thing in life is to set a great goal and make up your mind to achieve it. Young students should aim high, have lofty ideals and ambitions, and write a brilliant life!
Paying equal attention to theory and practice is the way to success. As a higher vocational college, the direction and goal of training students in Huaao is to focus on cultivating students to become high-quality skilled talents with international vision, high professional quality and strong practical ability. In other words, Chinese and Australian students should not only master the necessary theoretical knowledge of basic majors, but also pay attention to practical training to cultivate practical skills needed for their jobs. Only by being ambitious and down-to-earth, can we truly become high-quality skilled talents with both ability and political integrity and equal emphasis on theory and practice. Be eager for knowledge, be pragmatic, be positive and pursue perfection.
Learn for truth and perform for perfection.
Learning first is closely related to diligence. Learning should always be eye-catching (diligent in observation and reading), eloquent (willing to ask questions without shame), bright in the brain (good at using the brain) and bright in the hands (quick in doing things). Only in this way can we accumulate water into a river, turn what we don't know into what we know, turn what we know less into what we know, learn the real skills, and show ourselves in serving the society. Edison once said that genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent inspiration (genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration), which clearly reveals that diligence is the mother of success. You should also have perseverance in your study. Learning is far from smooth sailing, and perseverance is indispensable. Xunzi said, persevere, rotten wood cannot be carved; Perseverance, the stone can be carved. With ideals and pursuits, we can go forward bravely and persevere on the rugged road to reach the glorious peak!
Seeking truth is to explore the essence and true meaning of things. Everything in the world is often mixed, with mud and sand. What students need is to carry forward the spirit of independent thinking, cultivate a pair of critical eyes, select the rough and the fine, discard the false and retain the true, not only focus on books, but also seek truth and seek truth as their own responsibility. We should always remember Aristotle's famous saying: I love Plato, but I love truth more (I love my teacher and I love truth more).
To take the initiative is to adhere to the principle of application-oriented in vocational colleges, not to seek a comprehensive system of knowledge, but to seek the practical application of knowledge, focusing on the cultivation of hands-on operation ability. Chairman Mao said that reading is learning, application is also learning, and it is the most important learning. (Reading is learning, using is learning, and learning is more important), which should become the knowledge of China and Australians.
It is best to stay in school, and it is best to stop; Be a man, be sincere and trustworthy, and be truly loved; Do things, do your best and keep improving. Huaao advocates that the flag is the only way to win, and dare to be the first. What we need is: riding a whip and hoof, and the journey is long.
