Weekly Updates, Monday 11 May, 2020


PYP Exhibition | fcaqlibrary

Dear colleagues,
This week will be launching the reporting season and we will go through the reporting protocol and
guidance that has been tailored for the current situation. It is also the time of the year when we will put
together class lists as we are shifting our minds to the beginning of the next school year. It is hard to
believe that after this week we have two ES faculty and one whole faculty Town Hall meetings left.
 The big news this week is that the PYP Exhibition is on! Congratulations to all grade 5 students and the
grade 5 team for successfully guiding students through the challenging process of learning whilst online.
We hope many of you will be able to enjoy the exciting presentations. The human connectedness to the
environment and other people are always highlighted through the PYP Exhibition. Because of the
COVID-19, there is a truly authentic reference and urgency for the people to see the importance of global
expertise in research, collaboration, and communication skills if we want to have a say in the ways we
prefer living on this planet.
On Wednesday, Heikki will meet with parents during his Virtual Principal Coffee Morning about the
report cards and to share some initial thoughts about the logistics and procedures we want parents to know
and participate in as we finish the school year. 
It looks like we can invite everyone to enjoy the warm and sunny week ahead!
Riana, Trevor, and Heikki
