Special Leave of Absence Request
In order to provide a good education to the students at Kennedy School we hope that parents would not withdraw their children from school during term time. Please note that a prolonged absence from school might result in the student being removed from the school roll and their place offered to another child. Please inform your child’s class teacher as well as admissions@kennedy.edu.hk of any planned absences for your child.
Absence of Parents from Hong Kong
If both parents plan to leave Hong Kong on a business trip or holiday during term time, they must inform the school and fill in an ‘Absence or Parents from Hong Kong’ form which includes information regarding guardianship and contacts. A domestic helper may not act as guardian. It is important for the school to know about parents’ absences as it helps the school in understanding and working with your child. Please complete the form below and return it to the school office:
