General

Dear Parents,

We are moving quickly to the end of the school year and as always, it’s a time when we say farewell to a number of children, families and staff.  The last eighteen months in Hong Kong has made a lot of our community reassess their family situations and we wish everyone well on their next adventures and endeavours.

 

Teachers :
 

Julia Moore – moving to New Zealand with her family.

Rachel Budd – moving to Scotland with her family.

Sam Newcombe – moving to another international school in Hong Kong.

Sophie Mills – returning to the UK with her family.

Karen Ingleby – returning to the UK.

Lynda Taylor – moving to Sydney with her family.

Rebecca Baxter – returning to full time teaching at West Island School.

 

Educational Assistants:
 

Oliver Lenan – moving to Shatin Junior School as a classroom teacher.

Abigail Mansfield – returning to the UK to study.

Michelle Kwok – moving to the UK to study.

Cecile Wong – moving to another school as a teacher.

Sonia Chiu – remaining in Hong Kong.

Isla Peterson – returning to the UK to study.

Lisa Collins – returning to Australia with her family.

Camelia Johnson – moving to the UK to study.

Colin Lin – moving to another school in Hong Kong.

Valerie Chung Thabot – moving to the US with her family.

 

I look forward to catching up with many of you and getting the chance to say goodbye at next Friday’s PTA quiz night!  Sign up if you haven’t already.

 

Charity Fund Raiser for India

Congratulations to all of our students and families for giving generously to last Friday's Dress Casual Day! We raised over $38,000 which will be given to Khalsaaid and Give India to help support the ongoing care needed for the covid situation in India.

Message Book  for Mr Brewster

We have a lovely signing book for families and children who would like to leave a message for Mr Brewster.

If you have a story to tell, a poem, a message or  a drawing/picture for him, please either:

1) Ask your child to bring it to school and pass it to G/F Reception.  This will be put into the book. 

OR

2) Come to Reception to write a note/draw a picture into the book itself.

 

Don't forget to include your child's name and class!

The book will be placed in Reception and will be available for anyone to sign from Tuesday 15 June till Friday 25 June 8 am to 3.30 pm.

 Let’s fill the book with warm wishes!

Kennedy Uniforms - PLEASE NOTE CAREFULLY

You can buy uniforms directly from the PTA until June 25th.

The PTA Office will then be closed for the summer break.

Starting Friday 6 August, uniforms can be ordered at http://www.schooluniform.hk. 

 

 

Toys in School

We are seeing an increasing number of toys (including Pokemon cards) sneaking their way into school. These tend to become distractions and can cause disruption if lost or broken. Please help us by keeping the children's toys at home.  Expensive watches and jewellery are also best left at home too.

 

March with Kennedy Update

The ‘March with Kennedy’ community challenge is speeding along. We are now 100 days into our journey and on the home straight!

See our latest update HERE

You can still sign up HERE.

Check out  everyone's photos HERE.

House Points Update

It's nearly the end of the school year and the children have been working hard to earn points for their House.

As there are only 2 weeks left to the end of the school year, please ask the children to bring in any house points they may have left at home to add to their team's total score. 

Every point counts!

 

 

No Tetrapak Collection on Mon (14 June)

 

There will be no tetrapak collection next week as Monday 14 June is a public holiday.

To date, Unicorns are in the lead with 40 kg of packs collected, with the Lions at their heels with 37.5 kg of packs. So far, the children have brought in 130 kg of tetrapacks - that's about 4,300 packs saved from the landfill. 

Well done everyone!!
