Dear Year 5 and 6 Parents

This term, for 5 weeks only, I will be offering cricket on a Thursday afternoon from 3.15pm - 4.15pm for our Year 5 and 6 students.  The club is open to both boys and girls.

Training will be limited to:

Thursday, 16 April - Year 5 children will be on camp - only Year 6 students for this training

Thursday, 23 April

Thursday, 30 April 

Wednesday, 6 May - HK Island Primary Schools Tournament

Thursday, 7 May

Thursday, 14 May

As we have only 3 training sessions before the tournament, the PS cricket training club is available only to students who can already bat and bowl.  The club is designed for students who have either played cricket before or are currently playing it. 

Students who were in the Peak School Cricket Training squad in 2025 may sign up again this year, as they can play cricket.   

Unfortunately, we are not in a position to allow students who have never played before to join the club.  I will only be accepting those children who have signed up who can already play cricket.  

As the tournament is a 6-a-side tournament, I will only be accepting 8-10 players to join the cricket club.  It will not be a case of "first in, first served" as I need to establish that those students who have been signed up can actually play cricket.  It will be a case of selecting the first 8-10 students who can bat and bowl, not the first 8-10 who have signed up.  

Please note that I provide all the equipment, and the children who join the cricket club only need to wear their PE gear.

Please sign-up on Gateway should you feel your son/daughter meets the above criteria.  I will review the submitted names, talk to the children about their previous experiences, and confirm the squad as soon as I can.  Submissions are now open, and please note the registration deadline is Monday, 13 April, at 9am.     

Warm regards

Bill

Dear Peak School Community,

We are all deeply saddened by the recent tragic fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, which has devastated many families in our community. In response, ESF are launching a collective effort to provide support.

This Friday, our ESF community will come together for We Stand With Tai Po – ESF Fundraising Day. 

All ESF schools and ESF Centre will come together to raise funds, which will be donated in full to the Hong Kong Government’s Support Fund for Wang Fuk Court. This fund will help residents and provide ongoing, long-term support.

Children should come to school as usual in their uniform on Friday, and we invite all families to make a donation on this day, which we will collect.  

In addition, donations will also be collected at our St. John’s Nativity event next Tuesday evening, providing families with another opportunity to contribute.  You can decide whether you would like to donate this coming Friday or next Tuesday evening.  The proceeds from both fundraising events will go towards the Government support fund.  

To make donating simple and accessible, we have enclosed a specific Peak School FPS QR code. Donations can be made by:

• Opening your mobile banking app

• Scanning the QR code with the built-in scanner

• Confirming the payee as “English Schools Foundation”

• Entering the amount and completing the payment

All donations will be collected through a central “Bank of China” account under the name of “English Schools Foundation” and transferred in full to the Government-established fund. For reference, navigation instructions for FPS payment via QR code in HSBC mobile banking are also enclosed.  

Children are also welcome to bring money to school on Friday, as we will also accept cash.  

We are grateful to everyone who is helping to raise much-needed funds for those affected at this very difficult time.

Dear Parents/Caregivers,

We hope you had a lovely weekend. 

Please note that we are ensuring the children are starting the year in the correct uniform.  We have noticed a small number of children coming to school in the incorrect uniform, with shoes being the biggest issue.  

As per our uniform policy, children must wear black leather shoes and we have noticed about 10-15 children bringing in shoes that are not all black.  Shoes need to be black with no other colours visible.  

On Friday, Mr Garnett spoke to the whole school at assembly informing the children that if they come to school in the incorrect shoes, their teacher will write a uniform notice for their parents so that the parent was made aware of the issue and can address it.

As of today (Monday), we will be sending a uniform notice home with any child that is wearing the incorrect uniform.  The first thing we will be focusing on is the colour of the shoes when wearing the normal school uniform (non PE days).  If your child is wearing anything but black shoes, they will receive a uniform notice. 

I appreciate that a number of children have gone home and spoken to their parents already and that black shoes have been ordered.  Please ignore the uniform notice if you have already ordered new black shoes.  

Other children, however, are still saying they forgot to mention anything to their parents so if you do get a uniform notice regarding the shoes, can you please arrange black leather shoes, with no coloured markings, as soon as possible.

Thank you for your continued support.

Warm regards,

Peak School
