Newsletter- 18/05/22 Kowloon Junior School's latest newsletter is available to read now. Dates for Your Diary03 June Dragon Boat Festival - No school 10 June Year 4 Camp (Day 1) 17 June Year 4 Camp (Day 2) 23 June Year 6 Leaver Assembly Dear KJS Families, As previously mentioned, we have a very exciting and important event coming up on June 2nd - our Y6 PYP Exhibition Showcase. We are extremely fortunate to be able to invite Y6 families to attend this celebration of learning in-person, and we will be sharing all pertinent information shortly. Y6 students across ESF have had to showcase their PYP Exhibition learning exclusively online for the past two years, so the opportunity to bring families together this year is both unexpected and uplifting. Continuing with the Y6 theme, we have decided that the morning of June 23rd will be when we hold our Y6 Leavers' Assemblies. We will hold five assemblies, one after the other, in what will be a truly joyous occasion for our leavers and their families. We will be sharing details of the event in the near future, and we are, just like with the above mentioned PYP Exhibition showcase, thrilled to be able to do this in-person. Given the context of the past 2 ½ years, it seems ironic to me that graduation events across the Foundation have consistently been able to be held in-person. Finally, I just wanted to update you on our approach to learning on days where school is closed due to inclement weather. Specifically, we will be offering students access to asynchronous (independent) learning tasks and resources in the case of short-notice and short-term school closure due to inclement weather events (Red Rain, Black Rain, and T8 signals). Kind regards, Dr Jamie Schmitz Principal Refund of KJS Yearly Fee Balance (Year 6 Students only)Near the end of this school year, we will refund the balance of Year 6 students' yearly fee before they leave KJS. This applies to the students who have paid the fee for camps, activities and classroom stationery in 2021-2022. After deducting all the expenses, the balance is now stored in each student's eWallet under the Payment System. In order to receive a refund, parents will be required to submit online requests through the Payment System on or before Monday 30 May 2022 and we will process them in June 2022
To know more about how to access the Payment System, please refer to this website www.kjs.edu.hk/payment.
