His Hand at Work
His Hand at Work
It is impossible to look across our campus without recognizing the hand of the Master Artist actively at work in our midst. God is not merely moving among us; He is intentionally painting our story with grace, unity, and purpose. When we gather as one school family, we witness the living canvas of His majesty—a work far more complex and beautiful than anything we could design on our own. Every student, family, and staff member forms a unique part in this unfolding masterpiece, reminding us that He deeply cares for our community and is constantly crafting something truly wonderful in our daily lives.

The Choir Showcase!
The Choir Showcase!
The Choir Showcase was truly phenomenal! It was so moving to see our students and community come together in worship through song, celebrating "The Majesty of Our God" (inspired by Psalm 8:1–4).
Watch the highlight video to relive the beautiful harmonies of our community.
Well done to everyone involved! We are deeply grateful to everyone who poured their heart, time, and talent into this year's production. The full recording of the choir will be available in the coming weeks. Share this video with your friends and family.

IB Self Study and upcoming Virtual Visit
IB Self Study and upcoming Virtual Visit
Every five years, HOPE undergoes an evaluation by the International Baccalaureate (IB) Organization to assess how effectively the IB Diploma Programme is implemented in Grades 11 and 12.
Similar to our ACSI-WASC accreditation process, this evaluation involves an in-depth self-study to measure curriculum delivery and identify key areas for continuous school improvement.
The preliminary review documentation was recently turned in and the self-study report will be submitted on 1 December. After the completion of those two milestones, preparations will continue for the virtual evaluation visit scheduled for March 10-12, 2027. We deeply appreciate your prayers as we navigate this important season of preparation.

A note from the Nurses
A note from the Nurses
A few illnesses are at school right now - the flu/influenza and a tummy bug (diarrhoea and vomiting). Here’s a quick guide on what to spot and when to keep your children at home:
Flu
What to spot: A sudden fever, body aches, tiredness, dry cough, or a sore throat.
Staying home: Keep them home until they’ve been fever-free for at least 24 hours (without using fever-reducing medicine) and are feeling back to their usual selves.
Tummy Bug (Diarrhoea & Vomiting)
What to spot: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or stomach cramps.
Staying home: Children must stay home until 24 hours after their last episode of vomiting or diarrhoea.
Protecting Our Community
Children should not come to school if they have flu or a tummy bug. Both illnesses are highly contagious, and keeping sick children at home helps protect our community from further illness.
Regular handwashing with water and soap helps to keep bugs at bay! Please remind your children to wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet.
Thanks so much for helping us keep everyone happy, healthy, and learning!
