Dear Parents and students
Thank you to everyone who attended the AGM on earlier in January. I have minutes of the AGM available to anyone who would like to see them. If you do, please contact Rose, the school secretary on secretary@huahsia-chinese.org.uk and Rose will send you a copy.
As a run up to the Chinese New Year, we had a successful and interesting True Heart Theatre performance on Sunday 31 January 2010. This was well attended and everyone really enjoyed themselves - a big thank you to True Heart Theatre which is funded by Trust for London and Paul Hamlyn Foundation. You can find out more about True Heart Theatre on www.trueheart.org.uk
Remember Hua Hsia Chinese School will celebrate the Chinese New Year on 7th February 2010 with a performance from our students. This is at 3pm in the assembly hall and will be a 40 minute show. All students will receive a hong bao (red envelope) with a chocolate gold coin. Chinese sweets and tea will be on offer to the parents. I welcome parents and/or students to bring a celebratory plate of snacks to share with Hua Hsia Chinese School community. I do also hope that all the Hua Hsia Chinese School students will wear Chinese clothes on this special day celebrating Spring!
Dear Parents and Students, please note that the Museum of London: Docklands is celebrating the Year of the Tiger on 6, 13, 14, 21 February 2010. You can join them for a series of events throughout February to celebrate the Year of the Tiger and explore their galleries to discover how London's Chinese community developed in the East End and the historical importance of trade between London and China. There is FREE adult entry on 13, 14, 21 February and kids go free all year round! There are so many interesting things to do. You can find out more at www.museumdocklands.org.uk/English/EventsExhibitions
We are currently working on the school calendar for 2010 - 2011 academic year. The school calendar generally follows that of the local schools of London Borough of Barnet, Camden and Westminster. A draft academic year 2010/11 will be announced shortly.
I have been contacted by MeiMei writing on the behalf of Music for Change. Music for Change is an Arts Council funded charitable art organisation. We are making an educational documentary 'Real Lives Shanghai' for UK schools to use. We are looking for two voice over artists aged 10 - 12, who speak English with an authentic Chinese accent (preferably haven't lived here for long). If you know anyone or have any questions, please contact the director Aubrey directly on aubreyfagon@me.com
I wish you a prosperous year of the Tiger!
Kind regards
Katja Ting
