Message From the Head of School<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mrs Anne Fowles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wishing all Malaysians who were celebrating Thaipusam last Thursday, Happy Thaipusam! I hope that everyone else enjoyed the holiday. It was very welcome, though the city was so much quieter than it usually is during the Thaipusam festival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to our teachers and others involved in the \u2018invitation conferences\u2019 that took place on Wednesday this week. I know that some of the conferences involved several colleagues at one time so that parents could gain a wider perspective of their child\u2019s learning and any challenges they might be facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also like to thank the whole community for their support at present. It has been a very difficult week for us all, but none more so than the Rowe family. The outpouring of support and care has been gratefully received and is yet another example of how our school community comes together in times of need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is certainly some excitement around the school. Today as the KG students arrived they proudly told me that they were recording their Lunar New Year assembly item. They had brought in clothes, some had asked their parents to prepare their hairstyle in a particular way, some were nervous and excited. As I listened in to the students’ conversations it brought a smile to my face. I am looking forward to seeing their performance, although I will have to wait until 10th February for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am fortunate enough to have access to every class Seesaw posts. I am always amazed by the variety of learning engagements that are happening and I am proud of our teachers for creating and engaging the students in their learning. I have seen writers workshop posts, visualisation posts, unit of inquiry tuning in engagements, unit of inquiry research and discoveries shared, maths array diagrams explaining mathematical problems, sharing mathematical thinking, storyboarding and planning, and this is not even mentioning the wonderful single subject posts! I am also proud of our students as they navigate these distance learning times and get involved in posted tasks as well as their \u2018live\u2019 sessions. The more involved students are the more they will benefit from these engagements. Thanks also goes to you as parents for supporting your children during these distant learning times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday we had our invited conferences and I know from being involved in a few myself these were valuable meetings to help students get back on track or even to share some of the challenges you may be facing at home. Thank you to all of those who were involved in those meetings, working together we can help our students achieve their potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you all have a relaxing weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
