Dear Parents
2026 KG Mission Delivery Survey - Results
Thank you for your response to our recent Mission Delivery survey! We received 89 responses representing 64% of our student body. We appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts, which our teachers will use to evaluate our program both in celebrating our strengths but also to evaluate our program and identify areas for growth or improvement.
Below are some highlights from the homeroom portion of the survey, focusing on communication, students’ wellbeing, and our academic and spiritual mission delivery.
In addition to survey data, we received some comments. Messages expressing thanks to the teachers will be passed onto the relevant teacher. Other comments were about the academic part of our program and about Chinese. Therefore we are looking into developing curriculum guides to inform parents about how our integrated themes are taught and how and when pre-writing, pre-reading skills and early Mathematics are introduced and provide more details of our Chinese program.
Kindergarten children are all developing and so in some areas they may be more advanced and in other areas they may still developing, we are also reviewing how we differentiate learning to ensure children are developing holistically, but also receiving an appropriate level of challenge or support as needed.
Overall, the feedback is very positive, thank you! Our teaching and learning is based on providing a Christ-centered program “laying the foundations” in academics and learning to learn, but also "Nurturing hearts” so that the children learn about how much God loves them. I would like to thank the teachers, teacher assistants and staff for their hard work, dedication but also the love they pour out daily to your children and our school. It is wonderful to be part of such a loving, Christ-centered community. Thank you for your support, care and for your feedback.
Blessings
Gillian Wu
Kindergarten Assistant Principal

If a different adult is coming to pick up your child from school, please notify the Kindergarten Office giving us their full name, Hong Kong Identity card number and their telephone number.
All people coming to pick up your child must:
Be on the authorized list on PowerSchool i.e. a parent has given us permission to release their child to that person.
Bring the purple pick-up card (original card, photographs will not be accepted).
In absence of the pick-up card, for persons we do not recognize we will either - check their Hong Kong Identity Card or call the phone number you have given us.
If we are unsure of the identity of the person picking up your child, we will check their identity.
If the person is not listed on PowerSchool, and you have not informed us, we will call parents to confirm.
If your child usually takes the bus home and changes to being picked up from school, please notify us. Please ensure that the person coming to school is on our authorized list. If in doubt, please give us their name
If you change or employ a new Domestic Helper, please remove your previous helper or add a new helper to the pick-up contacts on PowerSchool.
Parents, be empowered and equipped with the knowledge and resources you need to support your child's growth and success. This page provides resources, and we hope to help parents navigate the challenges of parenting and support your child's overall well-being. Make sure to check out our parent page HERE!
If your child is sick, please keep your child at home to rest and recover and notify the school by completing the relevant e-collect form on PowerSchool of:
Your child’s absence / number of days your child is likely to be off school
Your child’s body temperature (please state actual temperature, not just “has a fever”)
Once recovering from a fever (38C or above), please let us know the day and time your child’s fever subsided without medication. If you do not specify a time, we will use the time from your email. We can then specify how soon your child may return to school (48 hours after fever subsided).
Your child’s symptoms (not just “unwell”).
If your child has Chickenpox, Hand Foot and Mouth or other notifiable disease - please send in a doctor’s note confirming diagnosis. We also require a doctor’s note stating that your child is fit to return to school.
Red Eyes—conjunctivitis can be very infectious. If your child has red eyes, please give us a doctor’s note stating that your child is not infectious before they can come to school.
Department of Health requirements state that if a child has a fever (38C or above), or repeated diarrhea they need to stay home for at least 48 hours after the symptoms have subsided (without medication).
Even though your child’s fever may have gone, a child may still have a runny nose or bad cough and are not fit to return to school. Please keep them at home to rest.
Please do not send your child to school if they are still taking medication following an illness. The medicine may make your child sleepy and they still need time to recover and rest at home.
If your child has recovered but still has a mild cough (not chesty or coughing up phlegm), they may return to school but should wear a face mask.
