Newsletter- September 2010

Dear Parents and students
Welcome back to all the students and parents. I am glad to see many new faces. Thank you to all the parents who have recommended their friends to join our school. I am sure the new students will all settle well and enjoy the Hua Hsia community atmosphere. The new school year feels energetic. There is a new image and new hall. The school admission desk is now outside of the assembly hall. Roland and Jasmine will be on the desk to help. The Assembly hall will be use for the IQChinese classroom. From next week you will see a NO ENTRY sign on the door. On the Sunday, tea and coffee will be serving in the kitchen which locates in the end the corridor beside the adult toilet.
CONGRATULATIONS!
This year we had 5 students who took GCSE and all received excellent result A*. I am very pleased and grateful to the dedicated Hua Hsia Chinese School teachers who put in a lot of hard work, as well as the students commitment and parents support. The proud teachers are Mrs Helen Hartley **and **Miss Hsiu Nien Wei **who worked extremely hard for the students. The excellent students are **Huang Yue, Berlinda Middleton, Clotilde Yap, Monica Yung-Lur Chua and Sophia Huang. Well Done, Girls!
**Moon Festival **
I am reminding parents to please sign up for the playground rota sheet. The school curriculum, calendar and course design are now on the school website www.huahsia-chinese.org.uk for your information. In this term, the famous festival is the Moon Festival on the 22nd of September. It is our tradition to celebrate the Moon festival with mini moon cake for all our students and a tea party with all parents and teachers. It is scheduled on the 26th September in the Assembly Hall starting 3.30pm. When parents wish to order the Moon Cake please contact the school desk for the order form or email to us before the 22nd September. In the mean time, I have postponed the Community project Make A Kite with your kids to the spring term.

Dear Parents, thank you for your continued support of Hua Hsia Chinese School. There will be good progress ahead for both the school and the students' efforts. Like any school, it is important to maintain standards. Hua Hsia Chinese School has a high standard of tuition and in order to maintain these high standards we do like to introduce new students and fresh ideas. Please do not hesitate to let me know of anyone you would like to introduce.
I have now attached a testimonial from Tony Middleton to share his daughter learning experience and achievement.
Kind regards

Chinese New Year performanace -7th February 2010

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
