I would like to take this time to thank staff and parents/carers for the continued support and commitment you provide to our students and school.

Congratulations to our students on completing another successful term; they have again shown their dedication to learning and respect in representing Karingal Primary School.

FATHER'S/SPECIAL PERSONS DAY 
Father's Day breakfast was on Saturday 2nd September. We had a wonderful turnout of father's/special persons and children. The sunshine came out as well. Mr C cooked a delicious BBQ breakfast with Mrs Schneider and Fiona serving drinks, cereal and toast. Thank you to all who enjoyed the morning with us and to Mr C, Mrs Schneider and Fiona.

BOOK WEEK/SUPERHERO DAY: Tuesday 5th September
Karingal PS celebrated Book Week and Superhero Day last week. Once again, children came dressed in creative costumes and were proud to parade them. It was great to see classes perforn their concert dance as back up dancers in the parade.
Thank you to Vicky for working with the P-2 students and teaching them how to be illustrators.

AN EVENING WITH ADELE
I had the priviledge of watching Adele perform her first concert on Saturday night. It was an amazing experience. Adele performed 14 songs with her dad as back up! 

On top of her performance, Adele raised $3800 for our school from ticket sales and sponsorship. We would all like to say THANK YOU Adele.

I would like to wish Adele the best of luck in her 'Take the Mic' Grand Final singing competition on Sunday 15th October.

Thank you to Miss Holmes for organsining the day and to Rachael, Breigh and their team for providing the yummy hot food lunch.

Annual Father's Day Breakfast

Nothing like brekky in the sun to kick off a beautiful weekend! ?
Thank you to the many dads and father figures (and mums!) who joined us  for Father’s Day Breakfast. It was a fantastic atmosphere and a wonderful way to celebrate as a community.
 
We wish all the dads, grandfathers, and cherished father figures a fabulous Father's Day!


Book Week and Superhero Day

Our hive was a complete buzz of excitement as our Book Week and Super Hero dress up day arrived!
Why book week and super hero in one day you may ask?

Well the offical book week was the same week as our amazing True Colours concert so we delayed it so as not to have too many events on the same week.

But did you know this week is Superhero week on support of raising funds and awareness of Muscular Dystrophy. This is a cause very close to our whole school communities heart as our Grade 1 student Tremaine suffers from a form of MD (Nemaline Myopathy) to us he is an amazing super hero who shows that you can do ANYTHING you set your mind to. Sadly Tremaine couldn’t be with us today due to being hospitalised but we wish our superhero a speedy recovery and be back with us asap!

It was amazing to see so many wonderful and creative costumes! We certainly have some very talented members out there in our community!!!
Please enjoy the pictures that show our students absolute delight during the parade this morning!

Thank you to our wonderful staff who support our students!

Thank you also to the many parents and families who can and joined in the fun of the parade!
