Cathay Pacific Airways will sponsor 40 students from around the world to take part in the new Cathay Pacific Green Explorer programme - an eight-day programme that will take place in Hong Kong and Sichuan Province in China.

4.   To address shortage of Bay Valley Chinese School volunteers, we are looking for parents to get involved with our next school year's program:

Director of Academic Department─Coordinate with teachers and parents.

Student Activities Department─Assist in varies event. I.e. Chinese year celebrations.

Bay Valley Chinese School creates a friendly and social atmosphere around volunteering. Just come to room 100 and talk to principal Ms. Angela Chou.
