There's a lot of excitement and celebration happening before embarking on an adventure somewhere in Cambodia!
The students' amazing attitudes during recent activities have been inspiring. It's not their clothes or outfits that are shining bright, but their outstanding actions. We believe that God is at work in their hearts and minds. Let's celebrate our students as they get ready for camp!
Last weekend, around 120 HOPE students and staff gathered at the iconic Raffles Le Royal for their High School Formal, one of the student-led events at HOPE. Dressed to join the night in stunning attire, they enjoyed a delicious buffet and danced the night away to Jun Sikyung's amazing song mixes.
Awards were given for King and Queen, Bromance, Sisterhood, Moonflower, Best Dancer, and Best Dressed which added to the merriment, while a heartfelt song about friendship and love capped off the evening. This formal was fun and memorable!

The 'Buddy Groups' is a regular activity that is held between students of Primary and Secondary levels. The program aims to foster a sense of community, mentorship, and connection among the students.
During the semester, students are grouped into cross-age buddy groups, where they engage together in activities such as reading, games, or devotion times.
Throughout the school year, we have organized several 'Buddy Group' moments during pastoral classes, and we are incredibly inspired by our students' response in building a more united community.
Service: 400 hours

Next Tuesday, our students will be out of their regular classrooms for Camp Week. This week is dedicated to providing them with an opportunity to reflect, bond, and explore different cultural aspects of Cambodia. We believe that through this experience, we can help our students achieve spiritual awakening while broadening their horizons through exposure to new things.

The Government Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority informed us late yesterday evening about an upcoming renovation project of the underground pipelines on the main road. Starting today, this project will impact the Front of the School Area for an unknown duration. From the communication we've received from PPWSA, we anticipate that the only impact today is on staff parking. Stay tuned with official communications via email and Telegram for more details. We appreciate your flexibility and understanding in this very fluid situation.
The Primary Gate will remain closed from Tuesday to Friday due to the low number of students at school during Camp Week.
During weekends, HOPE community is welcome to come to campus. In order to ensure everyone's safety, we kindly request that you sign in at the Secondary gate upon arrival.
