Principal’s Comments

Dear JCSRS community,

Welcome back to the second half of term one. I hope you all had a rest and time to be with family. I know some of you have been exploring different places around the world. Hong Kong certainly allows our students to experience different cultures relatively easily and it’s nice to chat with them about their different experiences.

Not only are we all returning feeling rested but we are straight in to Health and Well-being week. Yesterday I had the pleasure of joining the secondary students at the sports day in Sai Kung. There was something there for everyone and I learnt a lot about the athletic abilities of many students. I particularly loved seeing the smiles and delights as students either won a race or just knew they had done their best. It was also marvelous to share that with parents.I hear the sports day for the primary students was just as fun and successful. A special thanks to Mike and the team for the great organisation.

Also to huge thank you to Mimi, Bianca and many others who helped to put together such a great variety of activities. The Walkathon raised a considerable amount for Masarang, the charity in Indonesia that helps with envirnomentally sustainable projects for those less well off than us to live healthier and happier lives. At the assembly on Friday Adrienne from the Masarang foundation showed the students how the money raised is helping, not just the endangered animals and the environment but the people living in the villages. We are very proud to be able to support this excellent charity. Of course the secondary students also enjoy Pirate Day, dressing up and participating in motivating and fun activities that incorporate all areas of the curriculum.
