Class Update: Hendon CKD - December 2007

The are 2 class updates for December 2007:

1. School exams take place in the Gym during December so our classes move to the Dining Hall on the opposite side of the school. Return to the school gates and enter the school grounds through the gates on the far right (when looking at the school). The Dining Hall is directly in front of you.

2. Due to a Parents Evening on Tuesday 11th December there will be no Choi Kwang Do class at Hendon on this date. The Belt Presentation has been rescheduled for Thursday 13th December (our last class for the year).
