Message from the Campus Director - A Different Kind of Graduation Ceremony

The National Epidemic Alert Level 3 was extended again until July 12, all travel plans were disrupted, and activities scheduled for May and June could not be held; it is now July, the last month of the semester, and if classes resume on July 13 as scheduled, the graduation ceremony will be able to be held. Originally scheduled for Saturday, July 24, we were worried that we would be in too much of a hurry, so we postponed it to Thursday, July 29, and then on Friday, July 30, we will have the reunion and the graduation ceremony for the S.S.C. class.

The original plan was to invite parents to participate in the ceremony, so it was scheduled for Saturday; however, during this severe epidemic, it is even more important to take safety precautions after the resumption of classes, so there will only be teachers and children at the site. However, if classes cannot be resumed, we will have to hold the ceremony online.

It is impossible to anticipate, so both physical and online processes are discussed first.

This year's graduates will have a very different memory.

Under the impact of the epidemic, many industries have been affected, including the catering industry, tourism, transportation, etc. Kindergartens are no exception. Because of the epidemic, the government has announced that classes will be suspended, and except for kindergartens, schools at all levels will use online teaching to implement the Ministry of Education's directive to suspend classes and not to stop schooling. Kindergartens are unable to teach children online due to their young age and lack of concentration.

  The epidemic has left many industries struggling to survive, not knowing how long they can support them. Even if classes and work are opened in July or August, many restaurants, businesses and kindergartens will not be able to return.

  Because of the government's rule of "no classes, no stops", all private kindergartens have been under tremendous financial pressure. They have no income, but they still have to pay their staff's salaries, so it is really an embarrassment. In spite of this, Jen-Ho still recorded the theme teaching, music teaching, big muscle activities, and dialogues in beautiful life language for children to learn at home in June, which is believed to be helpful to parents.

July, the last month of the semester, is a time of completing academic records and preparing for the resumption of classes and the start of a new school year in August.

Peace and health.
