Dear Families and Friends,
Happy New Year to you all and for those of you celebrating the Chinese New Year on February 1st. 新年快乐
This is the year of the tiger, representing strength, independence, confidence, and bravery; important traits in these difficult times.
As you are aware, we have entered a phase in the pandemic where we have a few students and adults on campus testing positive. This means many of our students and some teachers have had to go into confinement for seven days. Our students really miss learning in person with their classmates, and it is heartening that none of them have enjoyed missing school!
I would particularly like to acknowledge the amazing work of Angelina, Nacho and key members of the leadership team, who have done such an incredible job of ensuring the complex protocols have been followed to keep everyone on campus as safe as possible. I would also like to thank parents for your support with this. I know it’s not easy when your child has to confine and so thank you for being so mindful and responsible with this. I believe it is this that has kept the number of cases lower here than in other schools.
As you will see from our newsletter, the amazing quality of work keeps going, and teachers have not let all of the above stop them from providing creative, inspirational learning, including some excursions already!
Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to seeing you all at some point throughout the year.
Kind regards,
Mel
Head of School
