Principal’s Message
Dear HIS Community
We have a very special weekend with the Gr12 Graduation ceremony taking place on Sunday afternoon. We are very excited to see our Gr12 students take the stage to receive their graduation diplomas. We are very proud of each and every one of our graduates who have all shone in various ways over the years. They are all moving on to new and exciting stages in their education in a range of universities and we will take the opportunity on Sunday to wish them all the best.
I would like to thank one of our parents, JuYeon (Taeo EC & Rihye Gr1), for kindly translating our message about the Momiji Fundraising Project into Korean. The translated message appears below. That was much appreciated. Regarding the project, we had hoped to hold the opening (unveiling) next Friday on June 2, however, we may need some more time for the installation to be completed so I will let you know the revised time and date. The opening will be live-streamed.
This week for our TED Talk we take a slightly academic look at parenting and the speaker, Yuko Munakata, has many interesting ideas for us. I hope you enjoy the talk and your weekend. Make sure you join us on the live stream for the Grade 12 graduation ceremony on Sunday.
Kind regards
Damian Rentoule
