Lunar New Year Celebrations

HFS will celebrate Lunar New Year on Wednesday 7th February – Week 5.

Students (and parents) are invited to come to school wearing Hanbok, or traditional clothes from a home country.

There will be an event in the Hall and Lobby from 1.30 p.m. featuring:

• Traditional Korean games
• A fashion show
• Singing
• A group art project

Parents are invited to attend and join in the fun.

Dragon Scales

As part of our Lunar New Year celebrations, we will be decorating a giant blue dragon with wishes for the new year. Each student should have received a dragon scale to decorate with a wish and their creativity.

Here is an example made by Miss Yuli.

Scales should be returned to school by Wednesday 6th February (next week)

Lunar New Year Holiday

Please remember that school will be closed for the Lunar New Year holiday on Friday 9th February and Monday 12th February.

Ski Trip

Last week, a group of adventurous HFS students spent three days skiing at Muju Resort. The students showed tremendous resistance, confidence, and responsibility in learning a new skill while also learning to look after themselves away from home. A great trip!

Check out from great photographs from the trip

Thank you to Dana’s dad, Margo and Nikolay’s mum and Grace’s mum for joining us on this trip and being so helpful.

New School Opening Celebration

If you would like to attend this event, please register using this form. We have lots of people coming, and we need to plan accordingly. If you do not register and attend on the day, you will be making things very difficult for us to organise. This is also not an event that would suit babies and small children.

Registration Form

Book Sorting

Anyone who would like to help sort, label, and categorise some new library books would be very welcome. Contact Mr. Green for more information.

A big thank you to Alex’s mum, Alec and Ethan’s mum and Aubrey and Ella’s mum who have been helping so far.

We are three weeks into life at our new school, and we are really starting to feel at home. The students are loving all the extra space, and our teachers are making sure we use our facilities to their full advantage. It was great to see after-school activities up and running this week, and school was full of fun and laughter.

Ski Trip

Next week, some students in Mr. Morgan’s and Mrs. Leah’s classes will go on an exciting skiing trip. We will be away from Monday to Wednesday at Muju Ski Resort with our friends from Atherton International School. Mr. Green and Mr. Morgan will be on the trip, with Mrs. Leah staying at school to look after the remaining students from those classes.

Just two weeks left in Term 1, and things are getting very exciting at HFS! Christmas is in the air, and the anticipation for the holidays and our big move is growing.

Open Day at New School Site

As you are no doubt aware, the school will be relocating to our new site during the winter holidays. Renovation work is on track, and the timeline for ordering new furniture and resources has now begun. We are very excited about the move to the new school site and the wonderful educational environment we are creating.

To ease the transition, we would like to invite all parents and students to an Open Day at the new school site on Friday, January 5th, at 2.30 p.m. This will be an opportunity for parents to see our new facilities and for students to become familiar with their new school before school starts.

We will be holding a ceremony in February to officially mark the opening of the new school.

No Clubs in Week 14 and Week 15

There will be no club running in December. The afternoon bus follows the No Clubs Weeks Schedule.

Last Day of Term 1

Please remember that the last day of Term 1 for students will be Thursday, December 14th.

Staff will spend Friday packing up the school, ready to move to the new school site.

Mid-Year Reports and Parent-Teacher Conferences

Mid-Year Reports will be published on Friday 19th February and Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held the following week. Remember, if you would like to meet a teacher before then, we are always happy to arrange something.

Term 3 Invoices Sent Home

Next Monday, your child will bring home an invoice for the Term 2 fees. If you have any questions or need clarification, please feel free to contact the Admin Office. Thank you for your cooperation and support.

School Bus for Term 2

As we’re relocating to the new school site in December, some students who used to walk to school might now require the school bus service. If your child currently doesn’t use the school bus but will need to be enrolled for it at the new location, kindly email the Admin Office no later than December 8th. Requests received after the deadline may not be considered.

Keep Everyone Safe

We’ve had a few cases of influenza and COVID-19 recently. If your child feels unwell with symptoms, please keep them home to rest. This helps keep everyone safe. If your child is sick, let us know they’re staying home. Your cooperation is appreciated.
