A note from Miss Yuli
Dear Parents,
On Friday, June 13th, we will be holding a special art exhibition in the school hall, featuring selected artworks from Term 2 and Term 3.
The exhibition will showcase the meaningful and creative works of our students, who have worked with great enthusiasm and dedication throughout their art classes. We warmly invite all parents to attend and help us celebrate the children’s efforts and artistic growth.
As Korea is our host country, this exhibition will feature many pieces that reflect Korean culture and identity, created using traditional Korean materials. Students have also explored the lives and art of notable Korean artists, which will be represented in their work.
In addition, the exhibition will include art inspired by world-renowned artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Pablo Picasso, Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Henri Matisse, and Amedeo Modigliani.
We hope you will join us for this meaningful event and enjoy the wonderful display of student creativity.
Thank you!
Warm regards,
Miss Yuli
HFS Art Teacher

Anti-Graft Laws
As we come to the end of the school year, please be reminded of the school’s policy regarding giving gifts to staff. If you need any clarification, please contact the Admin Office who will be glad to help.
In accordance with the “Prohibition of Improper Solicitation and Graft Act” which applies to all teachers at schools as well as public officials at government or public institutions in Korea, all HFS staff, both teaching and non-teaching, and their spouses are not allowed to accept gifts or gratuities. This includes all forms of individual gifts and group gifts. Even with the best intentions, giving these gifts could put the staff member and the school in legal trouble.
Gifts can only be accepted in the following circumstances:
- 1. All HFS staff may receive gifts from parents/students who are permanently leaving the school.
- 2. All HFS staff who are permanently leaving the school may receive gifts.
Gift giving is a personal choice, and families are in no way obligated to give gifts in the above permissible circumstances. Well-wishing cards are allowed to be given at any time.
School Consultative Group Meeting
A School Consultative Group Meeting will be held on Wednesday 18th June. Parents are represented at these meetings by Mr Geoff Donnison. If any parents have agenda items they would like to be discussed at this meeting, they should contact Mr Donnison.
