Dear Parents,
We are very excited to announce the first edition of our school newspaper ‘ The KJS Times.’ You will find many exciting items that you can share with your children such as feature articles, information, stories and much more. Our first edition focuses on Chinese New Year and has been researched, written, and collated by our Student Council supported by Mrs Bailey and Miss McCarthy. We hope you enjoy sharing this together. Please click here to access the newspaper. Editions of our newspaper will be held within our virtual library and on shelves. We also re-attach our special Chinese New Year Virtual Celebration Assembly here as we celebrate this special time in Hong Kong.
We look forward to seeing the children back after Chinese New Year, especially now that they will have two consecutive days in school!
Kung Hey Fat Choi to all of our KJS families.
Kind regards
亲切的问候,
सधन्यवाद

Library News
We’re looking for Mother Tongue Reader volunteers to read to our students. At the moment, we’re looking for Parents who can volunteer 15 minutes of their time to read to our students via Zoom. Our Library staff will help facilitate the link. You just need to read from a storybook that you have at home.
Languages that we’re specifically looking for would be Hindi, Korean, or Japanese. We’ve already received kind offers for Spanish, Cantonese, and Mandarin. If you have another language not listed above, it would be wonderful too.
Our students love the opportunity to listen to stories in different languages and in the past, this is the most popular event. Please help us continue this wonderful Book Week tradition.
Please email Ms. Lau at macy.lau@kjs.edu.hk if you can help. Have a wonderful Chinese New Year Holiday!

Year of the Ox Virtual Art Gallery
Positive and conscientious – these are just two of the characteristics embodied by the mighty ox, the second animal of the Chinese zodiac. These admirable qualities are shared too by our amazing students who put tremendous effort and joy into the artworks they submitted for our upcoming ESF Year of the Ox Virtual Art Gallery.
This online exhibition features 330 greeting cards and artworks created by talented students from 18 of our schools. The gallery is now open for public viewing and will close on 26 February and can be accessed here: https://www.esf.edu.hk/year-of-the-ox-art-gallery/
