Fabulous Fundraising!
As the academic year comes to a close, we want to thank you all for your commitment to the PTA. Last month the committee met and agreed to buy some new items for the school, including:
- East Wing garden furniture and storage shed - the children have been asking for somewhere to sit and relax during their break times so Mr Tremmel has found some fantastic items for them all to enjoy. Due to arrive ready for August, we will get some photos out to you all at the beginning of the new term.
- Extra resources for use in the Year 1-3 classrooms - A3 Light boards for each Year 1 classroom, Panda Blocks for every classroom in Years 1-3 and for the Individual Needs department, new sand and water tables, 16 creative crates for the Early Years Programme, more Construction Blocks for the playground for use during imaginative play, and an array of messy sensory items such as snow powder, mad matter and Incredible foam!
School Bus Next Year
Please click here for the 2019/20 bus application form.
The due date for these applications is Friday 31st May
Confirmation of places on buses will be emailed before the summer break
If your child/ren currently use the school bus - but you will not need the service next year - please e-mail to let us know.
As bus fees and PTA membership fees go into different bank accounts - please do write separate cheques for bus and PTA Membership fee.
If you have a younger child starting at Kennedy School in August - please put that child on the same bus application form with the older sibling, and pay for them together.
Please note that priority is given to incoming siblings for a place on the school bus provided that the form is in by Friday 31st May.
PTA Membership 2019/20
PTA Membership fees for the 2019/20 academic year are now due.
Under the ESF Ordinance, all families are members of the PTA. Membership is per family and payable annually. The PTA membership fee remains unchanged at HK$475 per family.
If you are applying for the school bus for your children please attach a separate cheque to your bus application form.
If your child does not use the school bus service please send a completed form together with your payment of HK$475 by cash, or cheque made payable to Kennedy School PTA Ltd, to the PTA Office.
Bus Mother positions available
If you would be interested in applying for either a permanent or ad-hoc Bus Mother position, please send back the application form to the PTA office. You will be contacted in the next few weeks for interview.
Familiarisation Day
On the morning of Friday 31st May, parents whose children will be starting in Year 1 in August will come to school and have the opportunity to order school uniform and sign up for the school bus service.
We set up in the gymnasium on the ground floor. This is a very busy morning, and it would be great to have parents in to help on that day to welcome our new parents and help them with uniform and bus applications.
Please do let us know if you can help:
- Friday 31st May
- 8:15am – 10:00am
