03. In-depth Exploration, Immersive Experience

The core part of the orientation day was the immersive experience for parents in their children’s respective school divisions. Instead of a cursory introduction, it was an in-depth participation and sincere connection:

Seeing Future Spaces

From the playful corners of the kindergarten to the exploratory environment of the primary school and the atmosphere that encourages critical thinking in the secondary school, parents saw and touched these spaces with their own eyes and hands, turning abstract ideas into concrete reassurance. Every detail spoke of the school’s commitment to safety, inspiration, and growth.

Meeting Core Partners

The face-to-face communication with homeroom teachers and core faculty was especially valuable. Teachers enthusiastically shared their class visions and semester plans, and sincerely listened to each parent’s concerns, establishing a bond of trust that will be an important support for children’s growth.

04. Setting Off with Confidence, Heading into the New Semester

As the interactions drew to a close in a warm atmosphere, most parents’ faces were filled with relieved smiles and high expectations. When leaving the school, parents took away not only a few information sheets but also:

Clarity on Affairs: Almost all pre-school “questions” were answered.
Sense of Security in the Environment: The space where children will study and live is no longer unknown but a tangible, caring place.
Emotional Connection: An initial bond of trust and communication channel was established with key teachers.
Confidence in the Future: Parents felt the school community’s professionalism, attention to detail, and care for each child.

This substantial sense of security is the core message the school hopes to convey to every new family through the orientation day.

Welcome to our big family! Today is not only about administrative arrangements but also the first step in a journey of partnership. The school looks forward to learning, progressing, and growing together with you and your child!
