Dear Students and parents
Thank you for re-enrolling with us and we are happy to see new faces. Haverstock School is a very big site, to safe guard of our students, teachers volunteer to bring the students to and from the playground. All teachers are very concern with their student's safety; in addition, I think it will be better to have two more parents stand on duty in the playground with the teachers. Please contact me if you are willing to help. I will be in Room B125 from 1.15-3.45 during school time.
On the first day, all teachers have had their CRB checked; this is part of our Child Protection Policy. 3 teachers have attended external training during the summer holiday, Miss Irene Tu, went to Shanghai and Miss Ya Ping Ho and Mrs Ching Hui Wilkinson was in Taiwan for intensive Mandarin Chinese Teacher Training, they will hold workshops to share their knowledge with us.
The school is committed to the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) of professionals working in children and adult education, we will have more internal and external training in 2007 and 2008.
The FIRST EMPEROR, CHINA'S TERRACOTTA ARMY EXHIBITION -
The exclusive visit for the above mentioned exhibition provisional date is the
9th February 2008 (Saturday) from 9.00-10.00am, this will combine with our Chinese
Spring Festival Programme. However the space is limited to 100 people; I will send out the confirmation form in the near future.
In the mean time, I had a meeting with The British Museum discussing work together with different projects; The British Museum is keen to forge a stronger relationship with
supplementary schools. I will keep you posted with new development.
Here are some dates that might interests you:
THE BIG DRAW 2007, Saturday 13 October 2007, 11.00-16.00
Half Term family events, Monday to Friday, 22-26 October 11.00-16.00
These are free programmes catered for the families, if you like to go together, and then we can book under the school which the museum will provide a space in the Ford Centre for Young Visitors. My suggestion for the trip is 26/10/07 (Friday) 3.00pm, with The Way of Tea Demonstration and Film Evening.
To book a group visit, I will need you register with me with name and number of students and of accompanying adults. Please sign on no later than 15th October.
