Hello, from Carolyn.

Respect, responsibility and kindness

Hello everyone,

We've got a combination newsletter this week, last week and this week!

Chinese Language competition.

We have a number of our students who have entered the online Chinese Language competition, and one student who enterted the onsite comp. Congratulations Sidney who did an amazing job at the competition last weekend!

The online Chinese language competition will be finished in a couple of weeks and Cecilia, our Chinese Language teacher, will let us know the results. Our aim is to encourage all our students to challenge and stretch themselves with their learning, how wonderful that we have students who have taken up the challenge with this language competition. Good luck to all our students competing!

2026 Foundation transition sessions.

Next week, our transition sessions start with a play after school. It's such an exciting time of the year when we meet our new students and their families, and help them settle in to our school. If you know of a family who is intending to send their child to our school, please encourage them to get in touch.
