Principal News - 9th February, 2024
I would like to welcome back all our Karingal PS families and extend that welcome to our new families that have joined us.
We have had a wonderful start to the year with a very calm and settled environment.
Reach for the Stars
This year, our school theme is 'Reach for the Stars'. This will be about reinforcing our high expectations in numerous areas of learning and wellbeing and being our best.
School Uniform
Thank you to all parents/carers in supporting our school uniform and expectations. It has been extremely pleasing to see all students in the expected school shirts and navy pants or school dresses. A reminder there is no jewellery allowed (apart from sleeper/stud earings and religious items), no hair colouring and no nail polish. It is preferable that students wear white or black plain shoes.
Book fees and School fees
Thank you to all parents/carers who have paid the book fees and school fees. A reminder that the book fees are required to be paid as these items are for your child. School fees are a voluntary contribution which assist the school in curriculum items such as art and music supplies, technology and keeping up the beautiful appearance of our school.
If you have not already done so, can you please make your way to the office and pay your book fees.
Assemblies
School assembly will be held each Friday fortnight at 2.50pm. We are very much hoping our next assembly on Friday 16th February will be in our new school building. Fingers crossed.
Newsletter
The newsletter will be emailed out to all families fortnightly on a Friday. If you know of someone that is not receiving the newsletter, please let the office staff know.
Alternatively, if you would like a hard copy, please let the office staff know.
Water Bottles
A friendly reminder that students should only be bringing water to school as a drink. Water bottles are allowed to be on students desks at all times for easy access.
Curriculum Days 2024
Please be aware Curriculum Days for 2024 are:
- 12th March
- 11th June
- 29th August
- 5th November
Stay safe and take care

EVERY DAY COUNTS
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
Welcome to our Prep class of 2024
