School Council News
Hello KPS Families
WOW, what a year we have had!! It has been wonderful to be back to ‘normal’ after the Covid interruptions.
Term 4 has certainly been busy with our Peter Coombes Incursion, hosting a chess tournament, Junior school swimming, Grades 5 and 6 Beach Days, Soccer Gala, Life Education Van visit, a Girls Footy Tournament, an excursion to Sovereign Hill, Colour Splatacular Fun Run, School Concert, Christmas Sing-a-long and finally our WHOLE School Christmas Lunch. I think all of us deserve a nice long break!!
I would like to CONGRATULATE all of the students on their achievements this year whether it be in the classroom, sporting arena, chess table or on stage. I have been super impressed with each and every one of you.
THANK YOU to the students who have given assistance with various activities and events throughout the year.
Once again our SUPER AMAZING staff have gone above and beyond for our students to help give them some memorable experiences of Primary School. They give up much of their own time to provide these experiences and sometimes don’t get enough recognition. On behalf of the school council and ENTIRE school community THANK YOU for all you do for our students.
To Sam Cooke and Jacquie Schneider, THANK YOU for all your support and assistance this year. Most of what our parent’s and friends’ team have done wouldn’t be possible without you saying YES to our, sometimes crazy, ideas.
To Kerrie Toohey and Chris Davies THANK YOU for everything. You have always been willing to jump when I or another council member or parent needed something done. Both of you have had to learn a lot in your new (acting) roles and have done so with grace, energy, and a smile.
To each parent and carer who have given up their time to assist with various event this year THANK YOU. There are too many for me to remember to name you individually, but you know who you are. NONE of our events could happen without you so THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
My FINAL THANK YOU is to my fellow school council members. It has been an absolute pleasure working with you this year and we should all be super proud of what we have achieved for the school community. I look forward to working with you again next year.
To our Graduating class of 2022 – CONGRATULATIONS on completing your primary school journey. Wishing you all the best as you embark on the next phase of your schooling journey.
YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING YOU SET YOUR MIND TO
We have a lot of exciting events planned for next year PLUS our new school building will be finished sometime during the year.
I hope that our entire school community has a WONDERFUL holiday break.
