- Dear Ms Stewart,
An eye opening trip for both Mr. Jeff Chu and me on our first day of school visit, love at the first sight in your distinguishing school and I met my fellow students from P.V. Chinese School at Pen High Campus, Mathew and Sabrina Tang, Matt and Riley Yang, and many others. Teachers are inspirational and cordial as a winning team under your excellent leadership, very accommodating and helpful to make our first visit unforgettable. All the staff, with no exception, and the students, made us feel welcome and the kids are very motivated to learn and ask questions throughout the classes where meaningful and taskful learning take place and I was impressed by the Tarango's class, with students making aphormism like young philosophers, as Yeats once put it, Education is not filling of a bucket but lighting a fire", a lot of sparks in the classroom. What a school.
Mr. Wells took the trouble of staying behind to give us a lot of useful info for our years to come in the MAP program.
My sincere tribute to you all and wish you more successes in the years to come.
Yours sincerely,
Hon K Lee
