CHAIR OF GOVERNORS As the pandemic persists, there is an opportunity to reimagine what our school will look like and how to evolve schooling so our students get most out of it. This is the time every member of the school community work together for our next generation, and the change is testimony to the leadership attributes underlying our vision statement Educational Excellence for Life and Leadership. In spite of all the challenges we have had to face because of the pandemic, with closed schools and a lack of face-to-face activities, we have done everything possible to ensure that none of our students are left behind. The teachers have worked tirelessly to prepare and adapt learning materials that meet the needs of online learning in an engaging and stimulating way. Our parents and guardians have taken on added responsibilities to make sure that their children are logged in and work is submitted; all despite their own altered working situations. I am so proud to report that the students have remained eager and joyful to learn, showing a resilience and adjustment beyond what we could have hoped for. Next academic year we will once again have to adapt and change – this time by hopefully returning to the classroom – I have every confidence that the skills we have learnt from the past year will carry us forward. Safety and health is obviously a priority of our school, but so is ensuring that we provide a complete education in an inspiring, motivating, creative and exciting environment for everyone. I wish everyone a very successful, healthy and happy year. Dr Rosanna Wong
