Although we are not governed by the statutory holidays for schools, we follow the ESF schools calendar. During every year we have 5 teacher training days built into the calendar. This is in addition to the contact days with children. These CPD days are added onto our calendar not removed from the contact days with children.
Please find the school calendar for Abacus Calendar for 2018-2019 here.
Parent Conference
Our Term 2 parent conferences will be open for booking from 5pm today. Please login to Gateway to book you appointment under the communication tab. The conferences will be held from 4-7th March. This is your opportunity to discuss your child’s progress and next steps with their teacher. If your child is in the English class you may want to make a separate appointment to meet your child’s Chinese teacher Jiawen Liao as well as their class teacher.
School Rabbits
We are still looking for homes for our school rabbits. We took over the lovely pair last summer when a family was relocating and couldn’t take them. It has been fantastic for the children to observe them and experience looking after them. However, we feel the rabbits would really be happier in a quieter home with more space to run around.
The rabbits come with their home, bowls and water bottle etc and we can let you know how to look after them. If you are interested please let the office know.
