It has been another busy and rewarding week at UHIS, with plenty of learning, creativity and opportunities for students to connect with one another. As we look ahead to the weeks before the winter break, thank you to all our families for the encouragement and support you continue to give. We hope you enjoy this week’s updates and the many ways our school community is learning, contributing and coming together.
Christmas Gift Giving
For many years, the UHIS community has supported disadvantaged children at Ulsan Children’s Home through our Christmas Gift Giving programme. It is a valued school tradition and a simple way for our families to share the warmth and generosity of the season with children in our local community.
Each gift is chosen from a child’s own requested item, making every promise a meaningful one. We are delighted that 11 gift promises have already been made. Thank you for the wonderful start.
There are still gifts waiting to be chosen. If you are able to take part, please choose and reserve a requested gift. Every contribution helps make the season brighter for a child and is a lovely way to support our community together.
Gifts will be delivered during our visit to Ulsan Children’s Home on Thursday 17 December.
Ready for SKAIS Football 7s
Our boys’ football team is getting ready to head to SKAIS on Thursday 19 November for the Middle School Football 7s. We are delighted to have enough players for a UHIS team, and it promises to be a brilliant opportunity for the boys to work together, test themselves and enjoy representing the school.
Good luck to all of our players. We look forward to hearing about the goals, teamwork and great moments from the day.

2027/28 School Calendar
Planning ahead? The 2027/28 School Calendar is now available for families to view. It includes the key dates for the school year and will help families plan ahead.
School Consultative Group
The School Consultative Group (SCG) brings together representatives of the school board, staff, the Admin Office and parents. It supports clear communication and gives the school community a way to share constructive feedback on matters relating to school life.
Our parent representatives are Ms Yujin Jeon, parent of John, Benjamin and Evelyn, and Mr Geoff Donnison. They represent the parent community and are an important route for parents’ ideas and questions.
The next SCG meeting will take place at UHIS on Wednesday 2 December at 4.00pm. Parents who would like the group to consider an agenda item are warmly invited to share it with a parent representative by Wednesday 25 November.
Read the School Consultative Group Policy and Procedures for more information about the group’s purpose, membership and procedures.
A Reminder About Illness
With a number of illnesses currently circulating, we kindly ask families to keep children at home when they are unwell or may be infectious. This gives children the rest they need to recover and helps protect classmates, staff and families.
There is no award for perfect attendance, and missed learning can always be caught up with the support of teachers. Thank you for helping us keep our school community healthy.
We have also been notified of cases of Hand, Foot and Mouth disease (HFMD). HFMD is a common viral illness that can cause fever, mouth ulcers and a rash or small blisters, often on the hands and feet. As a precaution, the school will carry out a deep clean and disinfection of shared areas and frequently touched surfaces this weekend.
If your child has HFMD, please keep them at home for six days, or until a doctor advises that it is appropriate for them to return. This helps protect our wider community and gives children time to recover fully.
If a student develops symptoms of illness during the school day, teachers may refer them to the Admin Office for support and observation. Where appropriate, parents may be contacted and asked to collect their child so that they can rest and recover at home.
Term 2 Invoices and Bus
We are preparing the Term 2 fee invoices. If your child will be leaving the school, or if you would like to start or cancel the school bus service, please inform the Admin Office in advance.
Please contact the Admin Office if you have any questions or need support.
