The Crane, 12 February 2024

Welcome from James Steward

I hope you have been able to enjoy a decent break over this long weekend.

It was another exciting week at HIS.

We started things off with an amazing ‘Hot Lunch’ with the PTA Wolfpack. Thank you for your hard work and wonderful support! The curry was excellent.

After School Clubs and Activities are now in full swing. HIS students are immersed in a wide range of inspiring, creative and fun initiatives.

The Korean Assembly was superb. Please check the pictures in our Gallery to relive the excitement.

Valentine’s Day is coming next week. The PTA Wolfpack have lots of treats ready to go!

Please read further for more information.

International Festival Spotlight: Leading up to the International Festival we would like to highlight an area that we are working on. This week we would like to focus on the Raffle. The Raffle at the Festival is always a hit. In the past we have had prizes like a Nintendo Switch, Hilton Hotel Voucher, Carp Baseball Tickets, skateboards, PS5, and many more.

We are looking for ideas for raffle prizes. Do you have a good idea of a prize, or maybe you have a contact that we should speak to about providing a voucher? Please let us know! If you can donate to the Raffle or would like to help find donations please contact Naoko.
