謝謝各位上周六參加2024-25年度第一次家長大會，希望大家對校務的運作更熟悉，相信大家藉此也都認識了學校的幹部。目前我們還欠缺副校長和教務，希望家長可以自願擔任這兩個職位。有什麽想法，可以聯絡我。我知道有家長提出教務的事務繁重，我們可以商量如何減輕事務。

Thank you very much for attending our 1st Parent Assembly meeting of the school year last Saturday.  It’s great to be able to share the school operation status update and welcome our new MCS families in person (again)! We are still lacking volunteers for the Vice Principal and Academic Affairs position, feel free to contact me if you would like more information about these positions. 

行事曆已經更新了。11月30日的上課日已經改爲11月23日。以下為行事曆網址。
