The North Wing rooftop finally opened for our Year 4-6 students! It was fantastic to see their happy excited faces when they went up for break and lunch. This is our 5th playground upgrade in 3 years and it shows what can be done with everyone works together! From the ground-floor adventure area to the upgraded Traffic Town for our early years students, the calm and chilled Octagonal area, the North wing rooftop and the brilliantly PTA designed and funded East Wing garden rooftop, our students from Year 1 to 6 are loving the new variety and choice.

Friday Footie Fun with a friendly match between our Year 6s and their Year 7 seniors at ! This well established tradition between the 2 schools is a fabulous opportunity for everyone to build skill, confidence and community while having fun!

The energy in the Hall was electric this morning as 21 members of our Battle of the Books Club went head-to-head in a high-stakes, House vs. House showdown!
To prepare for this ultimate test, these Year 5 and 6 students had to read and deeply master 20 assigned books to answer rapid-fire questions.
Watched on by Year 4 and 5 students, Phoenix House put on a masterclass performance and emerged victorious! Huge congratulations to all our competitors for their incredible dedication to literacy and team spirit!

Today, our marvellous PTA organised a special staff appreciation bagel lunch with an extra side serving of portraiture by our artistic Year 5s! In 3 minutes, they sketched our staff to everyone’s delight, capturing their essence to the T. Hurray for our PTA and hurray to the Year 5s!

Many thanks to our PTA for a wonderful lunch 🥯 and the 🖼️ art studio pop up as part of Staff Appreciation Day! The Year 5s did an incredible job drawing our portraits. We 🥰 it all!

This week, our Year 3s welcomed ex-West Island School student Nick Tsao to talk about maps and how they reflect changes over time. He showed us how Kennedy School has changed over 180 years with side by side photographs of Pokfulam - first mapped by British settlers in 1841, all the way to 2025. Can you tell by looking at the maps that the land Kennedy School now sits on used to be in the ocean? What do you think Kennedy School will look like 180 years from now?
