Kennedy School has the power to combine learning with fun and that is not an ability every school has. I will never forget how the teachers taught me using enjoyable and efficient methods

Since I joined in Year 3, things changed and it was like learning changed. Kids ran up to me greeting me. Everyone was kind and it’s truly a great place to learn.

We feel so fortunate to be a part of this incredible school community. The school’s open communication and transparency are truly refreshing. Class teachers are so capable and their commitment to developing the whole child (academically, socially, and emotionally) is unparalleled. My child always comes home buzzing with excitement showing his latest projects. We cannot imagine sending him anywhere else!

Kennedy School has a very special community, where children love going to school and parents feel welcomed. I never have to coax my kids to school, and they always come home so happy. The staff and teachers are supportive and kind, and the IB curriculum has really worked well for both of my children. Being able to use Stanley Ho grounds across the road for swimming, sports, and extra space is an added bonus!

Kennedy ESF is a very nurturing school that focuses not only on the children's academic achievements but also on supporting each child's emotional development and personal circumstances. The teachers create a warm and fun environment for the kids to achieve their goals at their own pace. The school also provides a diverse range of opportunities like inquiry play and field trips for the children to understand the broader world they live in.

What’s New at Kennedy School?

The Year 5 students were very excited to welcome their parents into school for Year 5 Market Day where they showcased their learning in the unit of inquiry, How We Express Ourselves. Also known as the marketing unit, students learned about how businesses operate, how to find out what consumers need, and develop a product or service that fills the gap in the market. Each group presented their business idea to their happy audience of parents promoting their company's service or unique prototype. Parents were then invited to give their stamp of approval by 'buying' these products and services. They did such a great job that we expect to see a few of these products or services launched in the near future!

This morning, our Year 6 students visited @ESF Renaissance College Hong Kong to tour their Year 6 Exhibition. This is the culmination of the PYP curriculum and is a showcase of their learning at primary school. Our students had plenty to think about as they returned with ideas for what they will do for their Year 6 Exhibition next term!

Here are some of our favourite photos from our incredible Year 6 Study Trip to Beijing. We went to - The Great Wall of China, Tian’anmen Square, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Drum Tower, Hutong visit, shadow puppet show, acrobatic show, cricket show, cooking lesson, shopping street and our big finale - visiting Beijing Fuxue Hutong Primary School. And we had so much good food, we waddled and rolled back to Hong Kong.
Well done Year 6!

Possibly the greatest highlight of our Year 6 Study Trip to Beijing was visiting Beijing Fuxue Hutong Primary School which first opened (by edict of the emperor) in the Ming Dynasty 650 years ago.

It was clear the school had worked incredibly hard to make our visit so thoughtful, warm and welcoming.

We had welcome speeches, a lively Q&A, friendly rubix cube competition, games rotations and cultural craft activities that encouraged students from both schools to chat and get to know each other better. It was wonderful watching them building bonds of friendship!

We spent the last 48 hours exploring Beijing - from the impressive sights of Tian’anmen Square, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and the Drum Tower, to the humble Hutong, Shadow Puppet Show and acrobatic show - we showed students the vastness and variety that Beijing has to offer.
