April Newsletter

Well we are already three quarters of the way through the year and the end of the year is now in sight.  So many new things have been added this year and we are ever still busy with trying still more new things for next year.   

Cambodia Trip Reflections

 

"The trip held by Concordia to Cambodia was absolutely amazing. I think I speak for everyone when I say that we set our expectation's quite low for the trip. Some of us were expecting bad attitudes, stubborn kids, and everything that could go wrong during our stay. Let me tell you this, we were absolutely wrong! The trip was eye opening and extraordinary, we poured our hearts out to these kids. It was quite touching to see some tears shed when we left, and most of those tears weren't from the kids at the child rescue center. We worked very hard for the children and in return they showed us how to treasure each day of our lives, and made us thankful for what we already have. The students that came to Cambodia grew closer to each other, and everyone there were no longer strangers, in a way we became just like a family. The memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. All in all the trip was spectacular, and I wish we could have stayed longer.Sadly, all good things must come to an end."         by Nicole Riaola

English Department

 

Huge results have been seen in our new reading program.  Our test group of 40 students on average improved 300-500 lexile since Christmas.  This has superseded yearly averages at top school in Taiwan, US and the UK.  To further enhance this program we have increased our library by over 200 books this term so far in a range of reading levels and tailored to a teenage interest level.

School Allocation

Second Round

 As you may know we have applied this year for a new school campus.  We have been short-listed for a campus in Ping Shek with only 6 other schools.  The list began with 40 names at the beginning of the process.  We have had a second site visit and we have been asked to provide more details on some points in our proposal.  We should know EDB's decision toward the end of December.

New Brochure

 

 We have completed our new school brochure!  This new 8 page A4 sized version was created to promote our new programs added this year as well as to attract more students to our ever improving school.

This is a really cool weather app.  It is animated and claims to be one of the most accurate out there.  Very cool.
