Dear Parents,
We have come to the end of Term 2 at HFS and, while there will be no break as we proceed into Term 3, I am pleased at how all members of the HFS community – parents, students and staff – have all worked together during this challenging term to make it a success. We will continue straight into Term 3 from Monday 27 April as per the revised academic calendar and planner. These are the newsworthy items that I wish to share with you this week.
Online Parent Teacher Conferences Successful
I am pleased to report that the online Parent teacher conferences went smoothly yesterday. The initiative was a resounding success. Thank you to Miss Yujin, our Assistant School Manager, for making it possible. I am sure it was a valuable opportunity for you to discuss your child’s learning progress with their teacher. Thank you to all the parents who took the time to meet with the teachers.
End of Term Assembly Today at 2:30 pm
Despite the unique situation in which we find ourselves, we will still go ahead with the end of term assembly as is custom at HFS. The assembly will take place via Google Meets and proceedings will commence at 2:30 pm. Please feel free to participate in the meeting with your child since we will be handing out awards and commendations, viewing a showcase of students’ work and making some important announcements. I look forward to sharing this unique experience with you.

Learning Material Delivery Today
Once again, the HFS silver school van will do the rounds this afternoon delivering materials for next week’s E-learning. The van will leave at 3:30 pm today and follow the regular school bus route. Please ensure that you are at your scheduled stop at the prescribed time to receive the necessary materials for your child’s learning.
Buddha’s Birthday on Thursday 30 April – No Online Learning
Thursday 30 April marks an important religious and cultural holiday and as such HFS will be closed on that day. There will be no online lessons or classes for the day. Please enjoy the holiday with your family.
Farewell to Angela
On a sad note, HFS is bidding farewell to Angela Heesoo Jin. In the time that she has been at HFS she proved to be a diligent and capable student, quickly cementing her place in the HFS community. Angela will be joining a Korean school for the next step of her learning journey. We wish her luck and happiness as she embarks on her next adventure and would like her to know that, should she return, she will always have a place at HFS.
That is all for this week. Thank you for your continued support and do have a wonderful weekend.
Mr. Kearney
