The Sword of the Spirit was fierce, dominating the field this Sports Day. It was great to see so many students actively involved, cheering each other on and encouraging each other in both the competitive events and the fun novelty events. 

A special thank you to our House Captains who wrote new chants, encouraged sign ups, ran devotions and house meetings. 

Beyond the races, our Snack Shack was a hit! Thanks to our parent volunteers, we raised over $1,000 USD to buy new balance bikes and helmets  for our preschoolers. A huge thank you for bringing such delicious international food to our fundraising efforts! Special thanks to the leadership of Monica Limantara, Parent Council, and so many parents who supported this fundraiser.

Regular attendance and punctuality are vital to a child’s academic and social growth. HOPE’s updated Attendance Policy aims to work in partnership with families to keep students connected to their learning during unavoidable absences, maintaining a healthy balance between academic excellence and student well-being.

Highlights of the policy:

1. Absence Categories: Absences are now defined as Planned/Unplanned and Excused/Unexcused.

2. Procedures: Primary and Secondary divisions have different procedures for managing absences.

3. Late Arrivals: The policy clarifies the school's approach to punctuality to school and to classes throughout the day.

4. Process: Planned student absences of two days or more must be managed via the Planned Absence Form.

This policy aims to bring clarity and consistency to the school's daily operations. We encourage all families to read the document carefully to ensure compliance. 

With this policy now active, we invite parents to partner with HOPE in prioritizing on-time arrivals. Developing these healthy habits is a joint effort between families and the school, and we appreciate your commitment to helping students get the most out of their academic journey.
