Residential Trips
Currently, not enough students have expressed interest in the residential trip to make the trips viable.
We will leave the forms up until Friday 28th May and then announce whether the trip will go ahead.
Here is the information we shared last week...
Before we begin planning in detail, we would like to gauge the level of support from parents for taking out Year 3/4, Year 5/6, and Year 7/8/9 classes away for a residential trip in Term 3. In the past 2 years, we have taken these classes away in term 3 for overnight stays at facilities in the local area. Last year we went to a location near Busan, and the year before we went to Unmoonsan Recreastional Forest. The Year 3/4 class would spend one night away from home, and the older students would stay for two nights. The students look forward to these trips, and we believe they are an important experience that develops confidence, responsibility, and leadership.
Here is the presentation we gave about last year’s trip. The format for this year’s trip will be very similar, but we may change the activities and location.
Parents of students in Mr. Dunn’s, Ms. Temple’s, and Mrs. Leah’s class are invited to share their opinions using this form.
Middle School Teacher
The school is currently advertising for a new middle school teacher to join our team for the 2025/26 academic year. This will increase the number of class teachers in the middle section to two. The exact split of these classes and how the extra teacher will be utilised will depend upon recruitment and the number of students at each age level that enrol for next year. We are especially keen to recruit a math specialist.
The job posting is available on the school website.
Music Teacher
We are pleased to announce that Ms Elizabeth (Sooyeon Park) will be joining HFS from Term 3 to teach music. Ms. Elizabeth is currently teaching private piano lessons at school and is already well known to the students.
After-School Activities in Term 3
After-school activities in term 3 will begin in week 2. A full list of available activities and sign-up forms will be published next week.
