As we move into the final three and a half weeks of the school year, there is a real sense of excitement across our campus. This is a special time, with so much happening—transition experiences, special events, and preparations for our end-of-year celebrations. The children are embracing these moments with enthusiasm as they begin to look ahead to their next steps.

It was wonderful to welcome so many of you on Friday for our Keystage 3 Showcase last week. Seeing parents' step into their children’s seats and be taught by them was both inspiring and important—these moments strengthen the connection between home and school and deepen your understanding of your child’s learning.

At our school, we place great importance on developing children’s mental arithmetic skills, as these form the foundation of success in mathematics. The ability to calculate quickly and accurately in the mind helps pupils build strong number sense, improve confidence, and approach more complex problems with greater ease.

Our commitment to student wellbeing remains central to all that we do, highlighted by initiatives such as Health in Action Week, which encourages students to reflect on both local and global health issues while developing positive habits. Alongside this, our enrichment programme continues to flourish, with students showing enthusiasm and dedication across ECAs, the arts, and sport.

This week has provided several meaningful opportunities to celebrate community, confidence, and the partnerships that support our children’s development.

As we approach the end of the academic year, children are preparing for a move to a new year group. While this can be exciting, it may also bring uncertainty, and it may begin to surface at home and on the journey to school.

As we approached our recent STEAM Week, we highlighted the value of this experience and its connection to our wider approach to Project-Based Learning in the primary school. STEAM, which brings together science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics, provided children with meaningful opportunities to explore ideas through hands-on, integrated learning.

It has been another busy and inspiring week. Today, we are delighted to welcome our Year 6 students onto campus for taster lessons- an important step in their transition journey. It is always a pleasure to see their confidence grow as they begin to experience secondary school life.

Our Reception classes enjoyed a very special live call this week with our sister school in Guangzhou, providing a vibrant and authentic opportunity for Chinese teaching and learning. The 20-minute session was full of energy, creativity and collaboration.

As we move through another purposeful period of the school year, it has been a pleasure to see our students embracing such a wide range of academic, cultural and co-curricular opportunities.

Returning to school after a long weekend, we are reminded that a ‘rest and reset’ can be timely, particularly when we have just had another great week at school, in this case, topped off with Seussical!

As we settle into our third and final term, there is a real sense of growth, confidence and excitement across the campus. The children are continuing to learn in so many different ways – socially, emotionally, physically, creatively and academically – and it is a joy to see how much they have developed since the start of the year.

It has been another busy and joyful week of learning and celebration in school. We are pleased to share some highlights from the week, as well as a look ahead to what is coming next.

This week has been a particularly special one in Hong Kong, with the city coming alive for the Hong Kong Sevens. It has been a privilege for our school to share in the excitement and spirit of this iconic sporting event, especially through the outstanding involvement of our students at the Cathay Youth Invitational 7s.

Welcome back to school and to the start of Term 3. We hope you and your families enjoyed a relaxing and refreshing break, and that our students are feeling ready and motivated for the term ahead.
