Dear Parents

 6 November:
H3 Theatre
Evening

October 2014

All kinds of ghouls and ghosts
and things that go bump in the
night have been occupying the
school today in celebration of
Halloween. Thank you for your
support of this fun event today
in encouraging our students to
have some fun with fancy
dress. Students (and lots of
staff!) pulled out all the stops
with their costumes. Photos
will follow in the next edition
of the Newsletter. Don’t forget that this evening is the
Halloween Disco and tickets
can be bought on the door.
The Disco runs from 6:30 pm
to 9:00 pm. Please note the
finish time to ensure children
are collected quickly at the end
of the evening.
I am pleased to let you know
that the School Calendar is
now available in Google Calendar format on the BSHS page
of the TES website http://
www.taipeieuropeanschool.co
m/bshs/page.php?page_id=388

This means you can now add it
to your own personal/work
calendar for easier access to
key school dates. I hope you
find this useful.

Last Friday evening saw the
annual Pop Idol event to raise
money for Tabitha Cambodia.
Well attended by parents,
students and staff alike, the
event is a great showcase for
our students’ musical and vocal
talents. There are always surprises on the evening and this
year’s Pop Idol was no excep-

tion, including a very popular
teacher performance with our
very own Dan O’Shea stealing
a little bit of the limelight to
close the event with an acoustic performance of ‘Ain’t No
Sunshine’.
This week saw the inaugural
ESC Sports Day held at the
Taipei Arena. Around 400
students across all three sections took part in what I am
sure will become a regular
feature of our annual sporting
calendar. Our gratitude goes to
Ms Simmons and her team of
willing volunteers who helped
co-ordinate track and field
activities. It really was a superb
day and, again, another shining
example of how wonderful our
students are and also how
supportive our parent community is of these whole school
events. The ESCPA did a fabulous job of keeping us all fed
and watered during the day.
