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.

Well done to the Unicorns for a fabulous win at Sports Day 2026! Students competed and had fun together - going over obstacle courses, hitting monster balls, hopping in a sack race, playing toilet tag, racing dragons while older students competed more tradition track events like javelin, long jump and relay races. There was a carnival atmosphere as extended families came to support the children, wave flags and cheer amid perfect winter mornings. It was glorious!

Over 100 students came together last Tuesday evening to deliver an amazing musical performance that had everyone tapping their toes, swaying to tunes and clapping along. There were tunes from movies, classics, traditional music and solos, played and sung by our choir, orchestra, rock band, soloists and also for the first time, our very own Chinese orchestra ensemble. We were blown away by the confidence, assuredness, and the musical ability shown by all the performers which was no doubt the result of many hours of hard work and practice.
It takes a village! And boy did we exceed all expectations! Well done everyone!

Hurray for the Year 4s on a brilliant staging of Kennedy's Got Talent!
The children collaborated and practiced for weeks to showcase their own passions and talents - they danced, sang, played music, performed martial arts, skits and magic tricks which had the audience in awe and also in stitches. Everyone celebrated their performances and the children grew in confidence and walked taller thereafter.
