A special thanks to Mr. Drury for taking the time to help on the course and all of the parents for their continued support.

CHUSEOKCelebrations around the world often follow the changing of the seasons.

JUNIOR SCHOOL LATEST NEWS

BULLETINS

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTBranksome Hall Asia is a community of learners who are continually developing, improving and growing. This includes faculty professional development much of which takes place “in-house” with fellow faculty members learning from each other together. Sometimes teachers will attend conferences or professional development workshops outside school. When this happens we will arrange substitution teachers to teach classes. Prior to the substitution, teachers will be fully informed about the planned learning and about students that they will teach. Occasionally teachers may be absent due to illness or for other compassionate reasons, substitution teachers will be arranged to ensure continuous learning and care for your children.

STUDENT SUPPORT AND EXPECTED CONDUCTAt Branksome Hall Asia we are guided by the IB Learner Profile and Primary Years Programme Attitudes as we learn to live together and learn to learn together. Part of this learning involves teaching students appropriate behaviour and developing strategies that they could use if a problem of any kind does arise. Pages 4, 5 and 6 of the Junior School Parent Guide outline steps that will be taken to support students. I take this opportunity to encourage you to study these pages to share them with your child/children as we work together to enable students to learn from mistakes and to make adjustments to behaviours and to enable them to grow to be thoughtful, principled, kind, caring, responsible, resilient, respectful, resourceful citizens.

교직원 연수

브랭섬홀아시아는 모든 구성원이 끊임없이 배우며 성장하는

배움의 커뮤니티입니다. 교내에서 이루어지는 선생님들

상호간에 교육과정이 있고, 때로 선생님들이 학교외부에서

이루어지는 회의나 워크숍에 참가하는 경우도 있습니다.

이런 경우 학급에는 필요한 기간 동안 대체교사가 배정되며,

대체교사 투입에 앞서 학급에 대한 충분한 인수인계가

이루어지도록 하고 있습니다. 간혹 질병이나 개인사정으로

선생님이 결근하는 경우에도 대체교사는 학생들의 학업과

생활에 지장이 없도록 만전을 기하고 있습니다.

학생지원 및 올바른 행동

브랭섬홀아시아에서 함께 배우며 생활하는 학생들은 IB학생의

자질과 PYP 학생의 태도를 갖추도록 교육받고 있습니다.

학생들로 하여금 올바르게 행동하고 문제가 생겼을 때

사용할 수 있는 방법을 가르치는 것도 이 교육의 일부입니다.

주니어스쿨 학부모가이드북의 4, 5, 6쪽을 보시면 학생을

지원하기 위해 취해지는 일들이 단계별로 정리되어 있습니다.

이 기회를 빌어 자녀와 함께 그 내용을 함께 살펴보는 시간을

가져주시길 부탁 드리며, 학생들이 실수를 통해 배우고 올바른

행동으로 고쳐나갈 수 있도록 함께 노력할 수 있기를 바랍니다.

아이들이 사려 깊은, 원칙을 지키는, 친절한, 배려하는, 책임감

있는, 건강한, 존중하는, 지식이 풍부한 사람으로 성장해나갈

수 있기를 바랍니다.

Our Grade 9 girls paddled out several kilometers into the Algonquin Provincial Park to set up their tents and prepare their cooking fires.

As part of the Arowhon Camp camp experience, the Grade 9’s were challenged by the high ropes course.
