Dear Parents,

A new term begins at HFS as Spring slowly turns to Summer. This week’s newsletter will be brief with only a few items that I would like to share with you.

 

End of Term Assembly

 I am so impressed that HFS was still able to put on an end of term assembly of note last week despite the circumstances. It was great to see such good work being produced by our students as they complete the term through online learning. A big thank you to Ms. Sara Hirner for joining us from Australia in our assembly to receive the donation from the student council’s fundraising efforts. It really meant a lot to her to see our students doing such good for the worthy cause and we appreciate all her efforts in rescuing animals as part of the Australian Wildlife Rescue Organization, WIRES. The biggest congratulations must go to our commendation and citizenship award recipients from each class, (names to be added). Well done to all of you. You have earned your place on the HFS Wall of Honour.

Term 3

As we welcome the start of the new term I am positive about what will be in store. The class curriculum overviews have been uploaded to the website, so please take the time to review them for your interest. I look forward to reopening the school as soon as the Ministry of Education gives us the go ahead and parents will be notified as soon as the date is confirmed. We will also inform parents of the health and safety procedures that HFS will put in place to ensure that the school remains a secure and hygienic place of learning for all. I am hopeful that we can resume regular in class teaching as soon as possible as well as the scheduled events and initiatives that make HFS the effective educational institution that it always has been. Term 3 will run until Friday 17 July as per the academic calendar.

 

Learning Materials Delivery

This afternoon HFS will send the silver school van to deliver learning materials for next week’s online learning. The van will depart the school at 3:30 pm and follow the regular school bus route. Please be at your designated stop at the scheduled time to collect your child’s learning materials.

 

Finally, Tuesday 5 May is an important holiday celebrating the children and as such HFS will be closed to acknowledge this important holiday. There will be no online classes on that day so please enjoy that time with your child.

That is all for this week. Thank you for your continued support and do have a wonderful weekend.

 

Mr. Kearney
