HHI Community Credit Cooperative Charity Concert

Our friends from HHI Community Credit Cooperative will be hosting a charity concert at school on Friday 26th April from 1.40pm. At this event, their band will play and scholarships will be presented to worthy Korean students to attend Korean schools in the area. Prizes will also be awarded to HFS students who raised the most money through the Readathon. Parents will also be invited to attend and donate to the charity we are supporting. Parents are welcome to attend this event.

Outdoor Play

At HFS we value getting outside for playtime and for learning experiences.

Here are some things to remember:

As the weather get hotter, it is a good idea to have a hat to wear when we are outdoors
On days when we are outside, all students are expected to be outside, unless parents have contacted the Admin Office in advance. Meeting requests for students to stay inside adversely affects learning and the smooth operation of the school.
The school has criteria for deciding when we will stay inside due to adverse conditions such as bad-air quality and extreme temperatures.

Read-a-thon

Don’t forget the Read-a-thon!

Students should bring their Read-a-thon record and sponsorship forms to World Book Day on Tuesday 23rd April (Week 2). Prizes for the most books read and the most money raised will be awarded at the Charity Concert on Friday 26th April.
