 We want to take this opportunity to send our heartfelt appreciation to all the teachers & staff at Halifax for the care & dedication in making sure that Gareth has an enjoyable learning journey while he was in your school.
We have seen Gareth picked up an extensive range of vocabulary & life skills while he was there and would not hesitate to recommend our friends whenever an opportunity arises. Meanwhile, please convey our appreciation to each of his teachers should we not have an opportunity to meet them in person.
Many thanks and best regards.

 ...... We want to thank you (Ms. Maria), Ms. Fiona, Zhang Laoshi, Ms. Jing Jing for all you brought to Juliette. She enjoyed the school very much and learnt a lot. We regret to leave because we will never find such a level of quality, kindness and careful school in France. Thank you again, Caroline Braun (Mother of Juliette, Tangerine Class).

- “Giving back to society.” That is one of the many morals I have learnt from my many years spent in Halifax Montessori Childcare. Halifax was where I began my learning journey. I grew up in Halifax Montessori Childcare and after I graduated, I spent another 5 years there in the student care program. The school has inculcated in me many principles, values and morals in life, and I left the school with sweet memories that I know would be etched in my heart forever.
- Nobody can grow up without help and everyone needs guidance at any point of their lives. We should always remember our roots’ and exhibit the good values that have been instilled in us. I am Primary Six this year, and I have to say that I have come quite far since the day I left my childcare. I have since learnt a lot more of skills, values and morals in my primary school – Marymount Convent School and am still on my learning journey. From Primary 3 to Primary 6, I have voluntarily performed for Halifax Montessori Sports Days and Concerts. These performances were important as they were golden opportunities for me to “give back” to the school that played a vital role in seeding my learning journey as well as to be a proud ambassador for the school.
- During the Primary Six Mid- year examinations, I performed quite well and reaped good results. However, I did not forget where I had acquired the basic skills of learning and self-discipline from. Until now, I still practice what I learnt in Halifax, like time management and self-discipline and that has helped me to plan and follow my schedule well, giving myself just the right amount of time to study, exercise and play.
- Every now and then, I still reminisce about the fun times I had in Halifax. I still keep in touch with some of my good friends from Halifax and we became the unofficial alumni. Missing my old school a lot, I decided to pay it and the teachers there a visit, as well as to help out during the school holidays. Just standing outside the school sent thousands of memories rushing into my mind. That was when I realized that the teachers in Halifax had taught me one of the most important morals in life. “Giving back to society.” Not many people actually practice giving back to society and not many even remember their roots’. Being able to accomplish both, I feel proud of myself. Not many people consider this a real accomplishment, but to me, I know that I have truly accomplished something that not many people can.
