eNews Issue 38

The theme of this week was gratitude.

Last night, our Grade 12 students received their HKA diplomas. 26 strong, they did this in much the same way as other Secondary School students around the world. But one of the things that set them apart last night, I believe, was their sense of community and spirit of gratitude.They gave their parents and teachers a round of applause. In their speeches, they thanked each other for friendship and support. And of course, everyone in attendance congratulated them and thanked them for all they’ve contributed to HKA.

The Primary School focused on gratitude this week as well, with their Service Learning Fair. At this fair, we celebrated many of our philanthropic partners, and students had a chance to take part in a variety of activities to support the local community. The photos tell the story. We’ll continue the theme of appreciation next week by thanking you, the parents. Please join us at the Parent Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast on Tuesday, 8th June at 8:30. If you haven't already done so, please rsvp via this online form so that we have enough coffee and pastry on hand. I’m looking forward to thanking you in person.
