Dear HFS Parents,
We have concluded our third week of the 2017-18 school year and the students are settling in well. The following are reminders and notices for you for the following weeks.
Curriculum Evening – Tuesday 12th September
The school had a successful Curriculum Evening on Tuesday 12th September. I would like to thank those parents who took the time to meet with myself and our faculty members on this occasion. During the session I took the opportunity to explain to the parents about the current status and the future of the school including;
- its planned relocation to a temporary site after the current academic year;
- its move to a permanent site in about three years’ time;
- the ongoing efforts of the school to recruit a new principal; and
- the splitting of the Y1/2 class into separate classes after the Chuseok Holidays.
For those parents who were unable to attend the evening, I invite them to refer to the slides that I have uploaded on the school website. Should you require any further clarification please do not hesitate to approach me.
GL Assessment Progress Tests
The Year 2 students took the GL Assessment Progress Tests in English and Maths yesterday and today. The Year 1 students will be sitting the tests next week and the Year 3 to Year 9 students will be sitting the tests in Week 5. As we have mentioned before, these tests have been newly introduced for this academic year and hopefully will help us to better monitor the progress each student makes and guide their growth. We ask you to check the class pages on the school website for detailed information about the tests including a test timetable.
