MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD CHAIRMAN

Professor Richard Petty AISFL Board Chairman

On behalf of your Board of Governors, welcome to the June edition of The Lion Rock.

AISHK has made great progress in the first half of 2021. The resumption of whole-school on-campus learning for AISHK students is a fantastic step in the right direction, and a wonderful testament to the commitment and resilience of staff and students, and the families that support them and the school. Our community has met the challenges of the past year-and-a-half with strength and purpose. This should be a source of great pride to everyone who is part of AISHK.

Our students have proudly represented AISHK in many ways, including through the outstanding academic results of the Class of 2020. As you will see in this publication, AISHK HSC and IB results were exemplary and our graduates’ pathways are diverse and global. Congratulations to AISHK students on your many achievements!

The commencement of the school year saw 150 new students enrol in AISHK, and I extend my warmest welcome to the families who have spent their first semester with the school. The Community Spotlight in this issue is a window to the stories and sentiments of some of our new families - we are so pleased that they have chosen to join AISHK.

The Parent Association has played an important role in engaging with parents through organising meetings, Mini-Meets series, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day events, and the launch of the PA eShop. We are fortunate that our PA is so active and supportive of AISHK. The PA is a huge help to the school and we appreciate their hard work.

With creativity and teamwork, important community events were able to proceed including the commemoration of Anzac Day with a wreath-laying ceremony on the field which was attended by the Consul-General, our school’s founding associations, and members of the AISFL Board; the event being shared with the wider community via video.

Your Board is thankful to each and every one of you for your continued support of AISHK.

I wish you a safe and relaxing term break ahead.
