Dear Parents and Guardians,
As I begin my second year as Head of PYP at H-FARM International School, I would like to thank you for the warm welcome and strong support you shared throughout my first year. It was inspiring to watch our students flourish across so many areas — not only in academics, but also in their friendships, their creativity, and their sense of responsibility as members of our community.
This year, our shared focus continues to be on the Six Dimensions of Success, which guide us in supporting the whole child. We want our learners to grow emotionally, developing confidence, resilience, and happiness in who they are. We want them to experience learning success by engaging with inquiry that is meaningful, challenging, and joyful. Through community success, they learn to collaborate, care for others, and contribute positively to the world around them. Language success remains central in our school, helping children to express themselves confidently in English, but also continue to understand the importance of their home languages in how we connect across cultures. Academic readiness is built through strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking skills, preparing them for future learning with confidence. And finally, social success is fostered in every classroom and playground interaction, where students learn inclusion, empathy, and the joy of being part of an international community.
One of the most rewarding parts of my first year was seeing how powerful the partnership between home and school can be. It is together that we create the conditions for our students to thrive. I encourage you once again to stay close to your child’s learning, ask questions, share stories, and celebrate progress.
I am excited to continue this journey with you, and I look forward to another year filled with growth, creativity, and success in all its dimensions
Warm regards,
Anthony Hamblin
Head of PYP
