Staff Briefing Minutes
Here are the minutes from yesterday’s Staff Briefing: February 9, 2015.
C&S Opportunity During CNY
Are you facing a long and cold Chinese New Year at home? Have all your friends gone away on the ski trip? Would you like to help someone and improve their life? Well don’t hesitate, contact Mr Marsh before Thursday for details to find out how you can help out this holiday by simply giving up a little time to entertain/be entertained by a 3 year old in our community who has just recently lost all his belongings. It may be in the morning and/or the afternoon and will help put a smile on the faces of 2 members of our community.
Thank you in advance for your support

After School Activities
Cycle 2 ASAs will finish on Friday March 13th. Currently we are putting together cycle 3 ASAs based on the survey monkey teachers completed at the beginning of the year. When we have the ASA catalog finished I will publicise it so that you are aware of your ASA commitment. If any teacher would like to change their ASA you are welcome to contact me, and if any teacher not scheduled to do an ASA in cycle 3 would like to do so, you are also welcome to contact me. More info will follow the week after CNY.
