Dear Parents and Caregivers,

What an exciting week it's been! Year 4 parents and teachers connected during Chinese consultations, our music concert was a fantastic display of talent, and we welcomed a big group of student teachers from EDUHK. Our tag rugby teams displayed great teamwork at inter school competitions, parents took part in Maths workshops, and the Year 1s had a great time today in a PTA-sponsored art session (thanks to the PTA dress-up day!). And, as always, incredible learning is happening throughout the school.

Celebration of Music

We were thrilled with the Celebration of Music Concert! Thank you so much to all the families who came out to support the talented students. The programme was wonderfully diverse, showcasing a wide range of music, age groups, instruments and skills. We were all blown away by the dedication and passion our students displayed. A big thank you to our Expressive Arts team, Ron Saw and Vincent Tang, and to everyone who contributed their time and expertise in teaching and guiding our musicians. It was an amazing afternoon, celebrating the power of music and how it can bring so much joy to our community.

Have you Completed the Stakeholder Survey Yet?

We're eager to hear from all our families! So far, 130 parents have shared their insights in the Stakeholder Survey, and we want to get a far greater number of parents to respond. Don't miss this opportunity to have your voice heard! If you haven't seen the survey email in your email inbox, please check your Spam or Promotions folders and search for "2025 ESF Stakeholder Survey." We are working together to define our school's future through our Guiding Statements and opportunities have also been given in the survey to share your thoughts on this. Thanks in advance for making this a priority as we only have one more week before closing on 21 March 2025!

Congratulations Kennedy Rugby Teams!

On Monday, we hosted the HKPSSA Tag Rugby Championships at HKU Sandy Bay. 15 schools from Kowloon and Hong Kong island came together for this amazing rugby event. We had much nicer conditions on Monday than last week (when the rain stopped play), which made for a fantastic morning of competition.

Both our Kennedy boys and Kennedy girls A teams were undefeated throughout and were deserved winners on the day. All Kennedy teams showed a great level of maturity and played fantastic rugby against very strong opposition.

Special thanks to Mr Bogaerde (Boys team coach) and Mr Kruger (Girls team coach) for inspiring our teams to victory.
