Dear Parents,
We were having such a lovely week in Primary, right up until Thursday afternoon when very late in the day came the direction from SYEC to close our campus to students and to move to online learning. Our Year 3 students had put on a great dress rehearsal of their Play in a Week, ‘Rock Bottom’, for our Year 1 and 2 students; Mr Corkery, our Primary Art Leader, had our students’ art work prepared to exhibit in what will be our inaugural Primary Art Exhibition and all was in place for our annual Primary Coding Competition, led by our Primary Computing Leader Mr Wanjara, which was to take place this Saturday. All the time and effort already put into preparing for these events will not, however, go to waste as they will all be rescheduled to take place when our campus is again open to students.
None-the-less, despite the late notice, our staff prepared calmly and professionally for a smooth return to online learning, for what we hope will be a very short time.

Roots and Shoots Nature Garden
Last week, over 100 students attended our Roots and Shoots cinema event. We raised just over 3,100 rmb! All money raised will help us continue with building our nature garden. We will use the money to buy beautiful flowers and plants such as bamboo, sage, lavender, juniper and lilacs. We will also buy stepping stones to create a path to explore the garden and a bench to sit on and relax. Thank you to everyone who took part in the event and have supported us in building our nature garden!

Summer School Uniform, Hats and Water bottles
Students should now be wearing the Summer uniform to school. Please see full details of our summer uniform here.
All students must have a hat in school to wear at break times:
It is also vitally important that as the weather turns warmer, all students have their own water bottle in school so that they can remain hydrated throughout the day. Water bottles should also be labelled clearly with the student’s name and class.
