SPRING IS HERE...and with spring comes a reminder for Term 4. Hats, Hats, Hats! Please locate these at home and have them ready at school for the beginning of Term 4. Or even better, why not find it tonight and bring it to school Friday.

THANK YOU
Thank you to everyone in our school community for being part of a fantastic term. It was a very busy Term 3 with so many different and engaging activities, that would not have been possible without our FABULOUS teachers, BRILLIANT P&F Committee and you, our WONDERFUL parents, who have helped out here and there. In my new role and Acting Assistant Principal I have loved experiencing the enthusiasm I get from the students when on yard duty, the buzz of learning in the different classrooms and the positives vibes from parents when on gate duty. Thanks for a great Term 3 and let’s keep up this great community feel for Term 4!

LATE ARRIVALS
We have had notification from the Department of Education that all students who arrive after 9:10am MUST be signed in by an ADULT at the OFFICE. This is to ensure the safety and wellbeing of students. If your child is running a few minutes late and will arrive before 9:10am, then they can quickly check in at the office to receive a late pass. We are mandated by the department to monitor attendance and late arrives at school and would really appreciate your support in signing your child/children in and out of school.

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.

PSW no longer have any stock as we are going through the changeover process.

Hello KPS families,

What a busy Term 3 we have had. I am sure that we are all looking forward to the break over the holidays.

Our School Disco on August 5th was AMAZING. Thank you to Helen for being our DJ and Russ for providing the lights, smoke and bubble machines! Everyone had a FANTASTIC night with lots of dancing and competitions. Even Miss Cooke and Mrs Schneider were seen on the dance floor!!

The start of this month saw our students had fun shopping at our Father’s/Special Persons stall. There was a lot of variety of items to choose from and we are sure that the recipients of those gifts loved the thought that went into choosing them.

The weather was beautiful for our annual Father’s Day breakfast, and it was lovely to see so many father’s and father figures join their students. I saw a couple of students proudly giving their special person a tour of their school. A BIG THANK YOU to Mr C, Miss Cooke, Mrs Schneider, Georgie Schneider, Fiona and Mrs Luff for giving up their Saturday morning to set up and cook.

We have also had Superheroes Day for Muscular Dystrophy, our Book Week events with Kite making and costume parade, a woodwork incursion for our junior students, a chess tournament hosted at our school, Grade 3&4 camp, some tremendous results in various sports and we finish off the term with our Hot Food Footy Day and coin trail!

Next term we will be just as jam packed with activities. We have a Splatacular Fun Run with slime and colours planned, the school concert, Christmas carols, our annual whole school Christmas lunch and at the end of term we will see our Grade 6 students graduate and leave us for the next journey in their education.

We will be continuing our Monday afternoon ‘coffee catch up” Karingal Families Connect, held in the community room from 3:00pm to 3:30 pm (enter via the office) ‘KFC’ is an opportunity for parents and carers of Karingal Primary students to get together for a chat, enjoy a hot drink and stay connected with the school community. All welcome!

There are always opportunities to help and be involved with school events and, sometimes you don’t even need to leave your home to support the events we are holding!

Please email Rachael.Franks@education.vic.gov.au if you would like some further information. 

Enjoy your holidays! A much-deserved rest after a busy term indeed!
