Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Tuesday's Celebration of Learning & Student-Led Conference Day was a huge success! It was so nice to see our entire school community come together. One Year 2 student even told me it was his "best day ever!" Seeing parents and caregivers immersed in their child's learning journey, guided by their children, was a joy. It was awesome to see everyone connecting and sharing. Thanks for being a part of it and for supporting the book fair too!

Congrats to our cross country runners and our hockey teams for competing in inter school sports in the last week.

If you haven't filled it out yet, we'd really appreciate it if you could! Your thoughts are super helpful. Can't find the email? Check your Spam or Promotions folders and search for "2025 ESF Stakeholder Survey." Many thanks.

It's a fantastic chance for them to bring their learning to life! A huge thank you to the families, and staff for supporting the trip. Also our amazing Chinese team, and Michael, our Finance Manager, for all their hard work in making this trip possible.
