Weekly Updates, Monday, 4 April, 2022

Dear colleagues,

This week continues as busy as always. The grade 5 students and teachers are full-on with the Exhibition process and after-school clubs will start on Monday. We will have our April faculty briefing to inform everyone about timely events and plans on Tuesday.


Thank you to everyone who participated in the science parent coffee last week. As always, the teacher and student contributions were the most interesting and exciting to the parents.


On Wednesday, we will celebrate Ohanami in the Elementary School playground. Please, check the messages from the social committee for further details. This week Ellen, Yoshiko, and Yuka Watanabe will continue to support parenting through their coffee morning session on Positive Parenting.


On Thursday the R&D team continues to work on updating the Report Card. We are hoping to finish the literacy and ATL sections this spring. Let’s hope that the weather warms up this week in support of the seasonal Ohanami celebration. 

Finally, Heikki will be back on campus on Monday.

Let’s have a great week!


Riana, Trevor, and Heikki
