“ A Home Away from Home - Growing Stronger Together”
Message from our Home Committee Hyeopjae October 2023
Tea Party October 20th
Hyeopjae has been more than just a place to sleep. Instead, it was a place that allowed wonderful brothers, friends and teachers to dissolve into my life as an integral part of it; and I am truly honoured to describe these people as my "Family". The home committee is composed of student-elected leaders from each year group led by myself, the home captain. Our goal is simple yet effective: our brothers' physical and emotional well-being. We don't just identify issues; we actively devise solutions for our shared challenges. The weekly Home Committee meeting, led by Mr Cronin, is met with brilliant ideas from the committee members. Our commitment is unwavering as we strive to enhance our second home. Looking ahead, we are eager to create enduring memories, strengthening our bond as a close-knit family through various engaging activities. Yejun Yoo Y11 home leader
