PSO Weekly Update - Aug. 30

1. GRADE 7 PARENTS' MORNING COFFEE - A Warm Welcome to the School Year

On August 23rd, Grade 7 parents enjoyed a morning coffee where old friendships were rekindled, and new ones were formed. We shared summer stories and engaged in meaningful discussions about our children's upcoming school year, covering everything from academic expectations to social life. The event fostered a strong sense of community and reinforced our shared commitment to supporting our kids throughout their Grade 7 journey.

2. EC SNACK AND UNPACK

On Wednesday, August 28th, Early Childhood leadership and PSO EC leads partnered to host Snack and Unpack.  Parents gathered for a tasty snack after drop off to connect with other EC families and discuss the start of a new school year.  It's was a great chance to reunite with friends and meet new people.  EC has kicked off the school year by empowering each other and building a strong community.

3. LUNCH OPEN DAY

The first Lunch Open Day happened on Tuesday and was attended by PSO Board members. We are blessed to have our new chef in residence at Concordia: Kevin, who has more than 25 years of experience in culinary arts, and is versatile in both Asian and Western cuisine. During the open lunch, parents were astonished at the variety of food options offered and how good they tasted.

New school year comes with new menus and a big new highlight: A Meat Carving Station that will take place about once a week.

Another major upgrade is that we are saying goodbye to processed and premade food. Our lunch is now 100% cooked in the kitchen by chef Kevin and his staff.

Here are some newly added items on the menu by chef Kevin: Duck confit, Shepherd pie; HK style BBQ pork. Students will also enjoy an array of healthy (low sugar) desserts at the Phoenix Café: Tiramisu, Panna Cotta, and mango pomelo sago.

Our next lunch open day will be on 9/11 and will open to the ES and EC parents. Stay tuned for the sign-up app.
