Queensland Miaomiao Chinese is not-for-profit organization based in Queensland Australia. The aim of Miaomiao Chinese School is to provide high quality and low cost Chinese language and Chinese culture courses to the local community. Miaomiao Chinese School was established in 1997 by a group of volunteer parents who would like to improve the Chinese language capability of their children. In the past 20 years hundreds of volunteers devoted their spare time and skills in the management of Miaomiao Chinese School. As a result Miaomiao has grown from 15 students in one class to about 1000 students in 6 campuses in different areas of Queensland. Miaomiao Chinese School has taught Chinese language and culture courses to over a thousand students and is expected to make more contribution to multi-culture of Queensland.
