Greetings everyone! I have now happily started my third year working at FHMSS and now I know most of the students. This makes things a bit easier for me as we are used to one another, but I still have a lot of names to learn with the new Form 1. FHMSS students continue to surprise me with their willingness and ability to speak English. Most students can say at least something to me which is wonderful, as after many years here I am ashamed to say I can only speak a few words of Cantonese. So well done everyone! The last academic year was very difficult for everyone in Hong Kong, especially those with relatives overseas, as we could not travel anywhere during the holidays, not even Macao or Mainland China. I still had a lovely time during all the holidays in Hong Kong, but it was difficult not to see my friends and family for such a long time. My husband had to leave at Christmas 2020 and we didn’t meet again until July. Finally, I made it back to London and Cyprus for a very busy time, especially important for me as my husband’s mother is now 101 years old. I also saw several elderly relatives as well as many of my friends whom I had not seen for a year. I am looking forward to this year of teaching and excited at all the challenges I shall face.
