"On Mondays, we start our school days at 8 AM sharp and all of the kids start going to their first lesson of the day. After two lessons of fun-filled learning, the bell rings for break time. We have 20 minutes of break where everyone eats their snack and play.

 

After break it’s time to get back to work; we usually do three subjects between break and lunch, but sometimes our teachers are so good at teaching that we work right up to lunch and don’t even notice!

 

At 12:40 PM, we sit with our class and teacher and have lunch. Most people like pizza day (for obvious reasons) and love Kennedy House’s wide variety of fresh veggies every day but my absolute favorite is the lunch we have on a Thursday every three weeks. This is because that day we have DESSERT!

 

After lunch we have our last two lessons of the day on Tuesday, one of those lessons is Sports.

 

That is a brief summary of a school day in Kennedy House every school day except for Friday…

 

on a Friday school starts as usual but after break, we have two lessons before lunch. Also, it isn’t any normal school lunch. It’s picnic lunch where you can sit outside with lunch from home or lunch made by Alice down at the Banda and after lunch, we go back to our classes and have our weekly Wellbeing lesson. We talk about our feelings and how to treat others while getting ready for assembly.

 

In assembly, our head boy and girl give out the merit and effort awards, a weekly report and sometimes the citizenship award."
