HFS Newsletter – T1W5 | Hyundai Foreign School

It has been a busy and joyful week at HFS, filled with learning, celebration and community spirit. Our Chuseok event brought families, staff and students together to enjoy performances, games and traditional treats, reminding us of the importance of gratitude and togetherness.

Looking ahead, we are excited to be taking part in a range of sporting and community events with SKAIS, as well as preparing for Open Day and our much-anticipated Halloween celebration.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and involvement in school life.

Chuseok Celebration

Thank you to all the parents and members of our community who joined us on Wednesday for our Chuseok Event. We enjoyed some great performances, traditional games, Korean snacks and, most importantly, some time together as a community.

Please note that all costs for CIS Team Visits are met by the host school. This means that when HFS staff take part in visits to other schools, there is no cost to HFS. These opportunities give our staff valuable professional development and help us strengthen our school through shared best practice.
