Dear Parents,
Thank you for coming along to the HS Parent conferences today and for meeting with your child’s teachers. We trust that you were able to hear about and appreciate the successes of your child and to learn more about their areas of growth at school.
Many of our students returned last week from the IASAS Cultural Convention with great memories and experiences from their respective convention, whether it was here in Bangkok (Dance, Drama, Film and Tech), in Jakarta (Forensics and Debate) or in Singapore with Music. We have received extremely positive reports from the coaches and advisors who travelled with the delegates and I wish to extend my congratulations to everyone involved in the CC’s. Thanks are also due to all of our host families who looked after all of our visiting delegates last weekend.
