I am very much looking forward to a successful 2023 at Karingal Primary School.What’s the BUZZ, tell me what’s happening!
What’s the BUZZ, tell me what’s happening!
Welcome back to 2023,
Our motto for the year is THE BUZZ! A hive of activity. We feel this expresses the vibe of community, hard work and fun, where together we can achieve more.
We know how hard bees work to maintain their hive and achieve their working goals. At school we hope to replicate that with the buzz of learning, the buzz of fun and the buzz of community.
Did you know???
A honey bee colony typically consists of three kinds of bees: workers, drones, and a queen. Each member of the bee colony has a definite task to perform, related to its age. But surviving takes the combined efforts of the entire colony. Individual bees (students, teachers, and parents) cannot survive without the support of the colony (community).
Bees are also related to our school RIPRR values that are symbolized with flowers, Respect, Integrity, Persistence, Resilience and Relationships, because we know, “Where flowers bloom, so does HOPE.
The students have settled into their new classes well and I have enjoyed getting to know our newest members of the colony, our Foundation students. To all our new students and existing colony, our hive is always open so make a bee line for a visit. And rest assured, I have plenty more bee puns for future newsletters.
Buzzing off now,
Mrs Schneider (Acting ABee.)
I am proud to BEE part of the KPS colony!
Each day of school missed makes a difference, with the effect on learning accumulating over time. From an early age, if children are taught that they need to 'show up' for school and make a commitment, this positive mentality aids academic and career success and brings benefits in adulthood.
Please be mindful of your children having 'casual days' away from school.
If your child is absent from school, can you please call the absence line and notify the school.
EVERY DAY AT SCHOOL COUNTS
Uniform
We have recently changed our uniform supplier. We are now using A Plus Schoolwear.
With the new supplier we have made purchasing your uniform easy. You simply log onto the website https://www.aplusschoolwear.com.au/ and purchase your garments.
If you choose the deliver to school option, it will be packaged up and delivered to school, free of charge, for your children to bring home.
There is no actual uniform shop anymore, but the school will have 1 size of all garments for students to try on if necessary, before you place your order.
Lost Property
Lost Property is now located in the under cover area outside the office.
If your child has lost any piece of clothing or equipment, please send them to "The Box".
Any piece of clothing or equipment that has a name on it, will be returned to the students. So please make sure all items of clothing are named.
Students will be reminded to check the Lost Property Box before the end of term and any items not claimed, will be donated to the second hand uniform shop on the last day of term.
Hats
A reminder that Term 1 is a 'NO HAT NO PLAY' term. Even if the weather is not sunny, children are required to wear a hat.
If children do not have a hat, they will be asked to play in the undercover area.
