  • A performance by the Drama Club
  • Performances by each class
  • Performances by talented groups and individuals
  • Lots of singing
  • A special visitor

Further details will be in the Newsletter on Friday.

Staying in at Break

At HFS we believe that students benefit from going outside for break and lunchtime and that as long as they have appropriate clothing they won’t be cold. School policy also states that if the temperature is below -2°C alternative arrangements will be made, especially for younger students.

We ask that parents inform us in advance, by email or phone, if a student needs to stay inside during break or lunchtime for medical reasons. To ensure that teachers have time to prepare for the next lesson, students who stay inside will be asked to sit in the Admin Office.

Candy Donations

The PTA would like some donations of candy or chocolates to make gift bags for the students to receive at the Winter Show.

Donations can be sent to the Admin Office.

Clubs in the last week of the term

Clubs will happen in Week 15 but only Sports Club on Monday will happen in the last week of term.

The bus will follow the ‘No Club’ schedule from Tuesday of the last week of term.

Last Day of Term

Please be aware that the last day of term, Friday 16th December is a full day. There will be lots of fun and class parties going on but school finishes at the normal time of 3.30 pm.

Name Change Survey

Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their opinions about a possible change of name for the school. We value your opinions.

To clarify a few questions that came from the survey.

  • Any name change will not affect the relationship between HHI and the school. We would still enjoy the support of HHI in the future
  • Any change of name will not affect the legal status of the school. We will still only be permitted to enrol students holding foreign passports or Korean passport holders who have lived abroad for over 3 years
  • The main motivation for a name change would be to raise the profile of the school with a name that more accurately reflects who we are

Here is a look at the answers we received.

You can still do the survey if you wish.

CIS Team Visit

This week we have welcomed a visiting team from the Council of International Schools. The team spent the whole week in school, visiting classrooms, holding meetings, and trying to get the best possible picture of our school. We are very grateful to the team for the way they engaged with our school community and the many interesting conversations we had.

At HFS we are very proud of our CIS-accredited status and the hard work that goes into ensuring that we meet the very highest standards of international education. The school will receive a report from CIS in about 8 weeks, highlighting our many strengths, as well as areas for further improvement.

I would also like to thank the parents who met with the CIS team for volunteering their time and also congratulate our students and teachers who spoke confidently and enthusiastically about their school.

HFS Relocation

The Chairman of the HFS Board has issued the following letter confirming that the school will relocate to a new site at the end of 2023. This is a very exciting prospect for our school and we will be working hard to ensure that the relocation process goes smoothly and that our new site is an amazing place for teaching and learning. We will of course be engaging with our community as part of this process and further details will follow soon.

Mid-term Holiday

Please remember that HFS will be closed next week for our mid-term holiday.

We look forward to seeing everyone again on Monday 14th November for the exciting run-up to Christmas.
