School bus application forms for next year were given to all current bus users last week.
The due date for these applications is Wednesday 31st May.
If your child does not currently use the school bus service, but you would like to apply for next year, please click here for a bus application form.
If your child/ren currently use the school bus - but you will not need the service next year - please e-mail me to let me know.
As bus fees and PTA membership fees go into different bank accounts - please do write separate cheques for bus and PTA Membership fee.
2017/18 - Incoming Year 1 students - Priority Bus Applications
All existing bus users have been given a bus application form for next year.
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 Wednesday 31st May.
Friday 2nd June
On the morning of Friday 2nd June, parents whose children will be starting in Year1 in August will come to school and have the opportunity to buy 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 me know if you can help:
- Friday 2nd June
- 8:15am – 10:00am
Transition to Secondary School
At our next coffee morning, we have a topic of particular interest for parents with children moving over to WIS for Year 7 this coming academic year and the next - the current Year 6 and Year 5.
We are very pleased that Mr. Guy Hewson, Director of Learning from WIS, has accepted our invitation to be at the Coffee Morning, to discuss the transition to secondary school.
Parents whose children are going to another ESF secondary school are also welcome as the transition process will be very similar.
Although of particular interest for these year groups all parents are very welcome.
