2: Curriculum Focus - PLG of the Month
Our Personal Learning Goal focus for the month of December is “Empathetic”. The Empathetic PLG focuses around managing emotions, understanding others perspectives’ and demonstrating compassion. The IPC and IMYC learning goals challenge the students to show they are empathetic learners by:
Understanding that the learning needs of other students may differ from their own and be supportive of this.
Consider the feelings of others and act appropriately based on this.
When making decisions, students should consider the risk of the decision considering the impact on themselves and others.
Take time to understand the commonalities and differences between their lives and those of others.
Demonstrate kindness and fairness to others and apply this mindset to the wider world.
We hope to see our school community demonstrate Empathy through their actions throughout the upcoming holiday season and beyond!
3: Semester 2 Clubs
Semester 2 clubs will open for registration next week. Today I am sharing all of the club information so that everyone has a chance to discuss with your family before the club registration opens.
I am happy to announce that we will be able to offer Karate club, and we have a new club starting - Ballet!

On Nov 22nd Hope International Academy had our 5th Annual Sports day event at the Ginowan Dome. We had almost 500 people attend the event! We would like to thank our teachers, in particular Mr. Jerome for organizing the event, and the Brazilian Soccer club for assisting and refereeing the games. You can view some of the photos from the event below. The full photo album will be shared on Sisi.
