Pack a rug and grab your picnic baskets! It’s time for our annual KPS school Christmas Carols and Family Picnic! 

Join us on the school oval from 4:00pm onwards. Carols will commence at 5:00pm sharp. 

Sausages in bread + cold soft drinks and juice boxes available to purchase. This year we will also have a local ice-cream van + glitter hair braiding and colour $10 (BYO hair brush!).

Money raised from the sausage sizzle and hair braiding will be donated back to the school.

We encourage all KPS families to attend. Each class will be performing a song on the night.

Please note this is an alcohol free event.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all KPS families who contributed to our school this year; whether it was through fundraising, volunteering your time and/or financially contributing by paying your voluntary school fees. Your contributions have made a huge difference to our school and the programs we can offer, ensuring the best possible education and support for our students.

With your support and financial contributions, our school has been able to organise the best possible classroom structure for students (including smaller class sizes), offer a wide range of subjects and special curriculum experiences, enhance digital learning opportunities, upkeep our school grounds and book in the resurfacing of our basketball court which will be ready for the children to utilise when they come back from Summer holidays!

Your financial support has also allowed us to purchase art supplies, music items, physical education equipment, and library resources (yes, the school must fund these items themselves!). It has also allowed us to plan for the opening of our new building which will be home to additional digital learning, science and cooking equipment, as well as new art supplies.

Looking forward to 2024, it has been agreed upon at School Council that your voluntary student school fees + student book lists will be split into two separate payments. This will make the payment process more streamlined for families and allow for us to continue our resource planning. Your school fees, as always, are a much needed voluntary payment, however, book list payments must be made prior to 30th January, 2024 so that your child's classroom supplies can be waiting for them with their new teacher on the first day of Term 1.

Payment plans can be arranged for both the booklist and the voluntary school fee contribution. Our lovely office staff will be more than happy to help set this up for you. Payments can also be made via cash, credit card or BPay (did you know each student at KPS has their own BPAY reference number!)

It goes without saying that your unwavering support for our school is greatly appreciated. Not only does it allow us to plan, prepare and purchase the very best educational resources for your child, it also assists us to inspire, nurture and extend your child's learning giving them the very best start on their educational journey.

Led by Aunty Karen Gibbs, a small team of parents have been working on making the corridor outside the staff room look a little more appealing. 

Once it is completed Aunty Kaz will share with us the meaning behind each part of the mural. 

Thank you to Aunty Kaz and her team.

Two of our wonderful parents, Aunty Kaz and Jade, joined the women's group at Nairm Marr Djambana to created a beautiful piece of art with boomerangs.

They also worked with our students to decorate boomerangs for our own project which will be proudly displayed in our new building.

Our teams took to the pitch with great spirits.

After a day of play our boys team came away in 3rd place and our girls team were undefeated winning the day of competition.

Well Done teams!!!

Tamikah (Grade 1) and Nathan (Grade 5) manned a market stall at the local gathering place, Nairm Marr Djambana selling paintings and crafts they had made including clips, beaded hanging keys, Christmas Cards and Christmas Decorations. 

Tamikah will also be participating in Activist week and will be holding her second market stall alongside Aunty Karen Gibbs and Nathan on December 2nd at Springers Leisure Centre in Keysborough from 1pm-4pm. 

Well done Tamikah and Nathan. You are both very talented and should be proud of yourselves.

UPCOMING FUNDRAISING EVENTS

Dear parents and carers

There is at present an increase in community transmission of COVID-19 in Victoria.

You can help us keep our school as safe as possible by taking 2 important steps:

1. Ensure your COVID-19 vaccinations are up to date. Information on how and where to get vaccinated is available on the Get vaccinated webpage.

2. If your child shows symptoms of COVID-19, please ensure they stay home and get tested. The easiest way to test is to use a rapid antigen test (RAT). Free RATs are available from your local council where you can collect 2 packs of 5 RATs and an extra 2 packs for each person in your household. People with disability and their carers can get 4 packs of 5 RATs. You are not required to have a Medicare card and you can collect RATs as many times as you need. You can also buy RATs at supermarkets, pharmacies and other retailers.

If your child has symptoms but tests negative, please ensure they stay home until they no longer have symptoms.

If the RAT test result is positive, please ensure they say home for at least 5 days and until there are no more symptoms.

Thank you for your support – these steps will help us all stay well.

Principal
