Welcome to this week’s newsletter. At HFS we are looking forward to Seollal (Lunar New Year) next week, and the children are happily preparing performances and activities to celebrate this special event to which we warmly invite all family and friends. Please see ‘Seollal Celebrations at HFS’ in the ‘Notices’ on the school website for further information.
School Lockdown practice
This morning HFS carried out a school ‘lockdown’ procedure both at the main site and the EYC, allowing the students and staff to familiarise themselves with the practices and routines to be followed in case of a serious indecent at either school. I am pleased to report the children followed all instructions impeccably, and lessons were halted for less than twenty minutes.
As I am sure you are aware, the nature of the employment most families enjoy, who attend our school, means the school population frequently changes. Whilst this means the specific needs of individual students may change as students join or leave HFS, the school takes a broader perspective of our student needs and applies policies in a consistent manner. Consequently, HFS will remain a nut and seafood-free zone until the end of Term Two, when this policy will be reviewed. Thank you for your cooperation with this matter.
Violin Tuition
Please see the website for further information regarding this new offering at HFS. We are very pleased to be able to offer musical tuition for our students, and we are hoping to extend our programme to other instruments. If you are interested and able to offer tuition on other instruments, please contact the school administrative office at admin@hyundaiforeignschool.com.
School closing for Seollal
A gentle reminder that school will be closed for the coming holiday from Friday 27th to Tuesday 31st January. School will reopen on Wednesday 1st February, with this being a half-day as usual.
Please do have an enjoyable weekend.
Kind regards,
Tony Blacklock
Principal
