Halla North News October 2023
Message from the BM October 2023
The first term has started well with Year 12 beginning to settle into Halla life, Year 13 completing university applications and our new Graduate Assistants finding their feet in their new role. We are delighted to welcome Andy Jang and Fred Bate to the Halla North team as graduates and we welcome back Ewan Thompson who will also be completing his IPGCSE as well as continuing in his role from last year. The Halla North team remains the same with myself (Scott Davies), Mr. Martyn Fernandes and Mr. Sangduk Park continuing to support your sons on their IB journey. We have some exciting events planned as well as an ʻoutductionʼ program designed to prepare your sons for university and beyond. We will also have a strong focus on wellbeing and mindfulness this year to promote healthy choices and balance. I am very much looking forward to continuing our Halla North tradition of success, creating lasting memories for the boys in our care and moulding future leaders and global citizens.

Student Events Halla Welcome party
Yr12 IGCSE Halla Tea
Halla East and North Y12 boarders got together for a fun night to get to know each other. It was great seeing everyone having fun and building friendships. The Y13 house committee did an amazing job coming up with game ideas that brought the students together. We hope to have many more events where students can purely have fun and take a break from working hard!
Congratulations Y12s on completing your IGCSE! It was great seeing some of your parents at the Halla Tea Party. We hope that they enjoyed seeing where you live and enjoyed the food and music. Special thanks to the music students for performing great songs that day. Y12s, be proud of your achievements and I look forward to celebrating many more achievements with you! Well done!
Student Events Halla Climb - 21st October (rescheduled) All year 12 Halla students were expected to join us to climb the Yeongsil trail of Halla mountain. This trip was postponed due to the typhoon weather but successfully went ahead as planned. It was a little chilly but I am sure you can see from the following photos that everyone had a great time. The scenery was stunning and the students showed resilience and character to make it to the Yeongsil observation point. Well done to all involved.
