Dear Parents and Caregivers,

It’s been another great week at Kennedy with excursions outside of the classrooms, great learning taking place inside our learning environments and lots of variety and student-driven action taking place too. TheYear 6 students are well underway with their exhibition process and are proving to be great thinkers, inquiries and communicators. They are looking forward to sharing their exhibition with the community in a few weeks.

Year 6 classes continued their transition visits to West Island School this week. Feedback was extremely positive from the students and from staff at both schools.

School Uniform for August 2023

A reminder to all families that in August, the new uniform will be required for all students. This includes the new PE kit also. Please prepare early for this. You can visit this website to order your new items for August 2023 and they will be delivered to your home.

If you would like to contact any members of the leadership team, you will find us in the playground or you can locate our emails on the ESF APP. You can email me at bcook@kennedy.edu.hk.

Kind regards,

Brenda

Yearband Led Dress Up Day

Year 2 have decided that next Friday 19th May the whole school should come to school dressed in an animal theme…..you could come as a Lion, Dragon, Unicorn or Phoenix OR you could wear your favourite leopard print outfit, cats ears, zebra stripes, elephant print T-shirt - have a look what you have at home already and be creative !

If your child has PE or swimming on Friday 19th May please make sure whatever they wear is suitable.

We will collect voluntary donations of $20. Students may hand their donation in as they arrive at school that day.

Year 2 are saving up to use the funds raised to organise a VR experience to learn about animals that live in difficult environments! Thank you for your support in advance!

Stuck for ideas? ……… here are a few.

PTA Coffee Morning - last week

It was wonderful to see so many parents join our technology focussed PTA Parent Coffee Morning last week.

A huge thanks to Tasneem Badri, Rudi Dray and Rory Douglas for taking the time to present to us all. 

Congratulations to the Kennedy Aquathon team that took part in the HKPSSA Island Aquathon Event at Kellett Kowloon Bay International School yesterday. We took two Year 5 and Year 6 teams - 3 boys and 3 girls per team. Our students gave a superb performance both in the pool and on the run and we are very proud of you.

Special congratulations to Sofia Huang (5T) and Isabella Wang (5K) for their podium positions!
