A Message from HOPE Director, Dr. Ecklund
Thank you for trusting HOPE with your child’s education. As I drive around Phnom Penh, I notice there are many choices when it comes to international schools for your family. We are grateful for your continual commitment to HOPE. I have spent my first week as your Director interviewing many potential staff and teachers to come and invest in your kids next year. Hiring is one of the most important aspects of my role as we seek to find teachers who are committed Christ followers, as well as experts in their discipline. Please continue to pray for our team as we discern the applicants. If anyone has connections with math and science teachers, we could use a few more for the 2021-2022 school year.
My wife and I are in constant prayer for the HOPE family and for Cambodia as we maneuver through these uncertain days. I for one am grateful that we serve a God who is not shaken by Covid and is ever present in our lives.
Shalom,
Adam
Book Week
Lions and tigers and (panda) bears, oh my! These were just some of the curious creatures we saw during Book Week this year. Thank you to all who participated and helped make it a success! The Book Week Team loved getting a chance to read stories with you and it was exciting to see some beloved former staff members, Mr Kime & Ms Kristi, join us as special guests.
We've had over 200 reading logs submitted already and it's looking like a tight competition! Be sure to submit yours by midnight tonight. As well, we'd love to see you at our final Primary Bedtime Story at 7pm with Mrs Jeanine: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82162963820?pwd=THd4TmsyaWpweGRScHBOVU5DTUlPdz09
Interested in seeing some more photos? Head on over to the Book Week website for a look at some of this week's highlights.
As always, Happy Reading, HOPE School!

GL Testing
Our GL testing is a useful tool for knowing what our students are capable of, identify any improvements that can be made to our programmes and learning how best to focus learning, particularly as students transition to a new academic year. Expect to receive an email soon with details on when and how to log in for students to complete their GL tests. For the integrity of our testing data, parents are asked to maintain test conditions (please don’t help students to answer questions, but please assist your child to be organised in time).
Primary year levels are completing their testing this week. Instructions can be found here.
