亲爱的家长们，

欢迎大家回到忙碌的校园生活，继续进行精彩的学期旅程。在佛山霍利斯，我们明白家校合作的重要性，家校合作对于营造一个充满活力和相互支持的教育环境至关重要。家委会在这个过程中扮演着重要的角色，家委会是学校与家庭之间沟通的桥梁。他们协助组织活动，反馈建议，并与教职工一起合作，确保学校能够满足多元化社区的需求。

新学年家委会与学校领导团队首次会议

我们鼓励每位家长积极参与到学校中来，无论是加入家委会，还是参加学校举行的活动。您的参与不仅丰富了孩子的教育经历，还增强了家校之间的联系。家校携手，让我们一同为孩子们创造一个和谐的学习环境，助力孩子们发挥潜能，健康成长。

祝大家周末愉快！

祝好，

Mrs Arden

计算机科学科主任 Ms Davy

网络安全

在佛山霍利斯，我们非常重视网络安全，并希望我们的学生成为优秀的数字公民。7年级，8年级和9年级的所有学生都需要学习如何在网上保持安全以及如何成为安全、负责任的技术用户。我们教授学生用正确的方式使用网络，并如何在网络世界保护自身的安全。我们讨论了在不同的情况下，学生们应如何做选择，如何用合适的方式解决可能出现的问题。课程内容涵盖智能手机、游戏、数字成瘾、数字公民、社交媒体、尊重沟通、使用笔记本电脑、数字健康、数字足迹和网络欺凌等领域。 

VEXIQ 机器人

我们最近购入了 VEXIQ 机器人设备。机器人和人工智能是未来的发展方向，因此，学习人工智能和机器人的知识亦非常重要。学校开设了一个专门的机器人实验室，学生们可以在实验室设计，创造，建造和编程。学生们以团队的形式学习，体现了学校的8C价值观，好奇心，协作力，沟通力，创作力，主动性，自信心和工匠精神。

电子竞技

佛山霍利斯设立了一个电子竞技室，让学生们能够在一个安全且受监督的环境中享受游戏。通过将电子竞技课程加入到课外活动课程中，提供一个有趣的方式让学生参与不同的活动体验。

游戏在儿童和成人中都非常受欢迎。游戏行业正在蓬勃发展。让学生们在安全的环境中玩游戏，能够培养他们的团队合作能力，沟通和解决问题的能力，以及战略思维等技能。此外，还能够鼓励学生们探索游戏和技术行业的职业发展机会。

通过电子竞技，佛山霍利斯为学生们提供了多一个发展的平台。我们希望通过电子竞技课程能够为学校带来更多成功和机遇。

赛事预告

BEBRAS（国际计算思维挑战赛） 是由牛津大学举办的一项比赛，计划于 2024 年 11 月 4 日至 15 日举行。关键阶段三至关键阶段五的学生将参加这个计算思维挑战赛。

下周10月16日，我们将举行本学年的第一次一对一家长会。7年级，8年级和9年级的学生们将和家长一起参加，讨论学生迄今为止的学习进度。每位学生的家长会时间表将在下周发放。为确保一对一家长会的顺利进行，每位科任教师都将有5分钟的时间与家长沟通。如果需要更多时间与老师沟通，请在家长会后与相关工作人员联系，以便安排另外的面谈时间。

家长会将在14:45-18:00进行。由于学生和教师人数的增加，一楼的会议室已经无法容纳所有人，所以本次的家长会将安排在四楼和五楼的教室进行。

更多信息和家长会时间表将会通过邮件的方式发送，我们期待着您的参与，一起见证孩子们在新学年的进步。

Dear Parents,

Welcome back to what promises to be a very busy but exciting term. At LEH Foshan, we believe that the partnership between parents and the school is vital to creating a thriving and supportive educational environment. Our Parent Committee plays a crucial role in fostering this partnership, serving as a bridge between the school and families. They help organise events, provide feedback, and work alongside staff to ensure the school reflects the needs and aspirations of our diverse community.

First Parent Committee & School Senior Leadership Team Meeting this School Year

We encourage all parents to take an active part in the school community, whether through the Parent Committee or by engaging in school events and activities. Your involvement not only enriches your child’s experience but also strengthens the sense of connection within our school. Together, we can create an inspiring and nurturing environment that supports every student in reaching their full potential.

Have a great weekend!

Best Regards

Mrs Arden

E-safety 

Here at LEH we take E-safety very seriously and we want our students to be good digital citizens. All students in Years 7, 8 & 9 learn about staying safe online and being safe, responsible users of technology. We teach all students about the importance of using technology in positive ways and how to keep themselves safe when working and playing in the digital world. We are aware that students have to make the right choices and decisions when they are online, and we discuss different scenarios and how best to navigate the issues that may arise. The lessons cover areas such as smartphones, gaming, digital addiction, digital citizenship, social media, respectful communication, using laptops, digital health, digital footprints and cyberbullying.

 VEX IQ Robotics 

As a school we have recently invested in VEX IQ Robotics equipment. We know that robotics and AI are the future and so it is important that our students develop their robotics skills. We have a new dedicated Robotics Lab where students will be designing, creating, building, controlling and programming robots to solve set challenges and problems. As well as developing their robotics skills they will be working in teams developing the 8C’s, especially curiosity, collaboration, communication, creativity, commitment, confidence and craftmanship. We will be selecting robotics teams that will be able to compete locally in Guangdong and nationally in China. 

Esports

Exciting times are ahead at LEH as we have recently invested in creating an Esports room for students to come together and game in a safe environment. By integrating Esports into the school’s ECA program, we are giving students the opportunity to participate in gaming and take on roles of responsibility in a fun and engaging way. 

Gaming is incredibly popular amongst kids and adults alike. It is more than a way to pass the time; it is deeply embedded in our culture, and the gaming industry is booming. Giving students the opportunity to game in an educational setting allows us to help them develop essential life skills like teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and strategic thinking in a relatable way.  In addition, it may also encourage students to explore career opportunities within the gaming and technology industry. 

By embracing Esports, LEH is not only staying ahead of educational trends but also providing students with a platform to develop themselves. As we continue to support their growth, we look forward to the many successes and opportunities that Esports will bring to our school. 

Upcoming Competitions 

BEBRAS is a competition run by The University of Oxford scheduled for the 4th to 15th November 2024.  Students from KS3 to KS5 will participate in this school wide computational thinking challenge. 

COBIS and Daigon are running an Esports Gaming competition scheduled to run on the 5th to 25th November select students to participate in this competition.

A final reminder of Ms An Na's Piano Masterclass on Monday 28th October, at 18.15 in the Hanbury Theatre. This is open to all students (borders and day students), who have achieved ABRSM or equivalent Grade 5 or above. There are only three places available now. For the students, taking part in a masterclass is an invaluable opportunity to learn technical, communication, and performance skills from an outstanding teacher from Hong Kong. If you would like your child to take part please contact Ms Kitty or Mr Hobourn as soon as possible.

Before the Masterclass at 5.00pm, Ms An Na will present a Piano/Violin Concert. All parents are warmly invited to the concert, which will last around 45 minutes. Further details will follow.

by Dr Kirk, Head of Academics

Next week, Wednesday 16th October, sees the first Parent Consultation meetings of the current academic year. Students in Years 7, 8 and 9, along with their parents, are encouraged to discuss their progress to date and look ahead to the upcoming KS3 assessments. Individual schedules will be distributed at the start of next week and I would urge parents to stick to the five-minute limit for appointments, to ensure that the afternoon runs smoothly. If more time is required, then further discussions can be arranged with the relevant members of staff.

The afternoon runs from the start of period 6 (14:45) until the end of ECA2 (18:00) and, as the number of staff has increased, and the Events Suite is no longer large enough to fit everyone in – especially with the Holles Gallery now in operation – meetings will take place in teaching rooms on the fourth and fifth floor.

More information and individual timetables will be distributed electronically and we look forward to welcoming you to meet your child’s teachers and discuss their start to the new academic year.
