Dear Colleagues,
I am sending you another Newsletter. Hope you will enjoy reading it.
Annual General Meeting
Understanding you might be having very busy schedule, I write to remind you that the HKAHSS is having its Annual Conference on 3rd December 2019 morning at The Salisbury YMCA Hotel. You are warmly invited to join and your presence and support mean a lot to us. Please click HERE for the details. Register now if you have not done so! We all look forward to meeting you at our AGM.
Helpline for Members
A new project: “Helpline for members” would be initiated to better serve our members. The Helpline is expected to provide more personal touch on top of our regular sunshine calls to newly-appointed principals. While the helpline might touch on technical or practical difficulties encountered by members with regard to their school work, it is much hoped that the Helpline will cater for deeper levels of needs which are psychological and emotional. Helpers will play a role similar to that of companion (同行者). In very challenging times like the last few months, it would be good to develop a supporting network to further support our members. In the meantime, a pool of professionals might be built up to cater for some practical issues if further development for support to members will be considered.
The formal kick-off of the Helpline will be held on the AGM on 3rd December 2019, during which more details will be announced. Members can also check the information from our Association website after the AGM.
