Current School Calendar 

The important dates regarding the start and end of the school year, school holidays and major school events are included in the public school calendar. This calendar can be found on the link above and also on the HOPE Intranet site.

There are other events within various Google calendars.   The Staff calendar has all school events posted on the appropriate days, including, but not limited to: meetings, sports events, holidays, Board Meetings, staff devotions, birthdays, etc.  While HOPE Management and Academic Administration work hard to finalise details, changes do occur and the calendar should be checked regularly for any updates or changes.

The work day is from 7:15 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday.  All employees who are classified as Teachers, Administrative Teaching Staff and Staff should be present on school grounds during working hours 7:15 am to 4:00 pm.  Teachers are allowed to leave the school at 2:45 pm if there are no meetings or after school responsibilities in recognition that teachers often grade and do lesson prep in the evening or on the weekends. All full-time employees are expected to participate in daily devotions at 7:15 am. Part-time employees are expected to participate in daily devotions on the days they are present on campus. Additional meetings and extracurricular activities are usually held from 2:45 pm to 4:00 pm.

As a school we recognize there are many passport countries represented in our staff/student body; therefore, there are also a variety of languages spoken by our families. HOPE seeks to communicate clearly with all its families and provides assistance upon special request. 

For example, HOPE has a large Korean population and has employees who are able to assist in the communication between the school's staff and Korean parents.  

For an official translation, requests must be submitted to the school to arrange for a translator to translate on behalf of the school if it is possible.
