From the Principal, 02.02.19

Dear Parents & Guardians,

“Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.” Maya Angelou

A huge thank you to so many people this week. Book Week has been a wonderful opportunity to lose ourselves in the imagination of magic and monsters for the past five days. Students, staff and parents have made this all possible with imagination, effort and time. Whether you have been involved in door decorations, feast preparations, costume design, or simply just encouraging reading and participation, well done to all of you and thank you. A few photos from the week can be enjoyed below, but for a larger selection please see the Book Week album on our Flickr account: > Book Week Photos

It appears we have our own young authors in school too. It was a nice surprise to come back this week and have some certificates to sign. Many of our students had entered a short story competition through FOBISIA, competing with up to sixty other international schools. We had a healthy number of first, second and third places to be awarded. Names to be announced shortly, but very well done, we are proud of you.

I am sorry to say, we are not so proud though, of some of our parents’ driving skills near the school. Please remember to drive slowly, especially at pick up time (yes we know it’s our parents as we recognise our students’ uniforms in the car). Also please remember to use seatbelts for all passengers and stop looking at your handphone while driving, you might not see a child walking in the road. Safety first, please.

Whatever you may be doing next week, I wish you all a wonderful holiday. When we return we will be celebrating the Chinese New Year and I am looking forward to celebrating with you all.

Gong Xi Fa Cai.

Yours faithfully,

Ian Gross
Principal
