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, 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:
- All HFS staff may receive gifts from parents/students who are permanently leaving the school.
- 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.
