Farewell Mrs Glascott

As you know it is Mr Glascott's (Head of Secondary and High School) last day at TES today. He leaves to take up a new position in Australia. This also means the lovely Mrs Glascott will no longer be teaching part-time in Year One and Year Five.
We had a special farewell assembly for her yesterday and also said good bye to our students Min Seo (Y3), Rui Feng (Y4) and Jae Won (Y5). 

Mrs Sharon Whitfield will be replacing Mrs Glascott in Y5 next term.

Christmas Assembly 

This morning children from British Infants, the German Section and the French Section joined us for a special assembly. Each section sang a song or two from our respective shows and we all joined in to sing a few favourites.

Children are not allowed to wear non-school uniform cardigans or sweatshirts.

We will be celebrating Chinese New Year at school with a special assembly. The children are asked to wear either a Chinese costume or something red (or both of course),




Happy Christmas

Dear parents and students,
I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone the very best for the holiday season. 
I am spending Christmas in Australia with my son, who lives on the Gold Coast. I am looking forward to some sunshine, especially after the chilly weather we have had recently.

I would like to thank you for your support over the last term. The students have worked extremely hard and I am very proud of their efforts. I would also like to thank the staff for their dedication to the school and I am sure everyone, parents, students and staff, would like me to pass on their appreciation to Ms Jessie and Ms Diana, who do such a fantastic job in the BJ office.

My CHIRPS tab has been updated with all the key dates for next term and my next post will have information about some of the activities we have planned.

Warmest regards
Adele Corry
