We had five fantastic days of swimming with Primary School! Swim week focuses on improving water confidence, stroke form (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, elementary survival backstroke) and survival skills such as stride entry, floating and treading water. Students were also encouraged to make safe choices around water, including never getting into water without adult supervision, wearing a life jacket when on a boat and checking the depth of water before jumping/diving in. Grade 3-5 students also practiced swimming, floating and treading water in their clothes to understand the feeling of being in water when they were not expecting to swim. We are so thankful for all the amazing staff and volunteers who made this program possible! Many thanks to our volunteers: Mrs Liz Logan, Mrs Karissa Kassing, Mrs Rose (Jang Mi) Seo, Mrs Christie Glass, along with our student assistants Haeum Choi, Annalise Kassing and Haileigh Ferguson. 

We encourage you to spend time with your child in the water and ask them to show you what they learnt during Swim Week! Jasmine Pool is a fantastic facility owned by a HOPE school family and open to the public 7 days a week. Please take a look at some of the photos from Swim Week! 

While International Teachers' Day often takes the spotlight, our incredible Parent Council recently turned the focus toward the backbone of our school: our Administrative Staff.

This team brings the essential support, guidance, and structure that allow our community to thrive. Thank you admin team for helping things run smoothly at school!
