4. Updates on Cultural Classes: Yoyo and Children’s Calligraphy classes have been cancelled due to low enrollment. Fishing, Guitar and Drawing are under-enrolled. If the number of students is still below 5 after Sep. 15, these three classes will also be cancelled. All parents are encouraged to register their children for cultural classes in addition to the language classes. The cultural classes are part of our school program, where children will engage in fun extracurricular activities while socializing with other children of the school.

本年文化課中的書法和扯鈴課，因註冊人數太少而取消。釣魚，吉他和基礎繪畫課，人數亦不足五人註冊。如九月十五日加退選過後，此三班人數仍不足五人時，則該文化課亦將取消。請各位家長，多鼓勵貴子女參加文化課。它們除了是學校課程的一部份之外，參與課程的學生，亦可藉由好玩的課外活動，認識新朋友及增加小朋友的社交能力。何樂而不為呢?
