After School Bus - Term 1
Term 1 after school activities are now starting. It is essential that we know which days your child will be travelling on the afternoon bus.
If you haven't already, please complete the PTA Bus - after school activities (Term 1) google form, sent to all parents via school email last week.
If your child's schedule has changed since you completed the form, please email the PTA directly.
Uniform Shop - Closure dates
Please be reminded that the UNIFORM SHOP WILL BE CLOSED on the following days this week and next:
- today (Thursday 22nd) and tomorrow (Friday 23rd) - while we relocate to the new PTA office situated on the lower playground, opposite its previous location
- next Friday (30th) August - annual stock take
If you are waiting for uniform but have not received your order yet, please bare with us while we get up and running. Thank you very much for your patience!
Class Parents
We are still looking for class parents for many of our classes.
A Class Parent is the liaison between the class teacher, the PTA and the parents of the students in class. They play an integral role in enriching the school experience for everyone and the time and effort involved in this role is greatly appreciated by the children, teachers and other parents.
If you are thinking you'd like to volunteer to be class parent for the coming school year, please do contact us with your name and your child's name/class, or you may contact your child's class teacher directly.
We really look forward to hearing from you!

Bus Users
A friendly reminder of the following:
Morning bus
The buses are not permitted to wait longer than their scheduled pick up times, after which they will depart. It is up to you to get to your bus on time. Please refresh yourself with these times and ensure you are waiting 5 mins prior.
Afternoon bus
It is essential to email (pta@kennedy.edu.hk) if your child will not be taking their regular bus home after school.
Notification needs to be received before 2pm on the day if your child:
- will not be travelling on the bus in the afternoon
- is not on the bus in the morning, but will travel on the bus that afternoon
- after school activity is cancelled, or your child no longer attends it
- is allowed off the bus in the afternoon without being met by an adult
(If your child is old enough now to proceed from the school bus drop-off point in the afternoon without being met by an adult please send your written consent by letter or e-mail. Otherwise your child will be returned to school, and a charge will be made).
