FROM THE PRINCIPAL

It has been a fast-paced first semester - more than 3 months have passed since school

opened in Sep 09. We’ve had an exciting time so far, celebrating Halloween and the

Mid-Autumn Festival and soon Christmas. These festivals are intended to open our

students’ world view - participating in international celebrations increases their

knowledge of the world in a fun way, making learning more effective for them. ASYCchildren have also visited 2 other indoor playgrounds in HCMC on their Friday Treats -

playing in a new environment doubles the fun.

To add variety to their physical education lessons, aerobics lessons have been

included. Qualified instructors come twice a week to conduct lessons for our children -

parents would have seen their aerobics performance on Halloween.

On the academic side, our teachers have been working hard to ensure that your

children’s learning improve with each passing week.I am happy to announce that we will open a second Nursery class in Dec 09 as the

class size is now at a maximum of 25 students. Parents, thank you very much for all your

gifts on Teachers’ Day. From 1 Dec 2009, we will have a new reward scheme for parents

who introduce new students to ASYC; more information can be found inside this

newsletter. I look forward to improving the quality of education in ASYC and will be

grateful for any suggestions from parents.

widely. Also known as the

Mooncake Festival, this

throughout Asia. It is a day to

worship the moon god and is

also the birthday of the earth

god. The MAF signals the

end of the year's hard work in

the fields, with only the

harvest left to attend to. It is

an occasion to express

earth god) for the blessings

over the past year.
