Discover Huili - Friends of Huili

Education within the family is the starting point for school and social education and complements what is happening at school. By working together with parents to create a good learning and educational environment for pupils, schools can effectively promote the healthy and happy growth of children.

Friends of Huili (FoH) is an association which includes all parents and teachers, plus other members of the school community. The aim of our FoH is to support the school by arranging several educational, cultural and social events throughout the year; to aid the school to offer more opportunities for pupils to engage in activities linked to being social, career development and leadership; and to raise funds for school activities. These events will provide rich experiences for all at the school.

Friends of Huili (FoH) is a flexible organization which encourages parents and members from our wider community to engage with the school in many varied ways. FoH is an integral part of school life and is the driving force behind many of the annual highlights of our calendar. FoH in our sister school, Huili School Shanghai, held many wonderful events to enrich pupils' campus life, such as the Winter Bazaar, Summer Carnival and Annual Ball.

In the first year of operation, we would like to invite all parents who interested to actively join the first FoH committee, to organise and participate in various school events, to set a good example of solidarity and cooperation for their children, and to help create a warm and lively school atmosphere.

We will elect several parent members through voluntary registration and democratic voting. Together with the master, they will form the Friends of Huili Committee. We will also have some parent representatives who acts on behalf of the class in the interest of the Huili family and community. Parent representatives will support in the gathering of opinion on life at Huili School Nantong and will be a voice on behalf of the wider family members of the setting. 

We held our first Parent Coffee Morning on 21st September. Mr Simon Kenworthy and Ms Suisui Yu had positive and friendly discussions with parents on the topics of parent involvement, FoH introduction and parent representatives.

We view parents as close partners and members of the Huili family, and we desire to ensure that they feel the same strong sense of belonging as our pupils and staff.
