Principal News - 26th April, 2024

Dear Families

Welcome back to Term 2! I hope you all had a wonderful school holiday break, with a lot of rest and relaxation!

All students have come back to school with a positive attitude towards their learning. It has been lovely to see them settling easily back into classroom routines.

This term is a longer term consisting of 11 school weeks. In saying that, already two weeks have gone by, which only leaves us with nine weeks of the term. A lot will be happening in this term including Education Week, school photos, assessment and reports.

Easter Bonnet Parade
We finished last term with our highly successful event of the Easter Bonnet Parade. Each year, we are able to raffle more prizes due to the generous donations of our community. A VERY BIG thank you to you all.

Thank you to our wonderful Parents & Friends Committee for their support to put the raffle prizes together.

A special mention and thank you to Tamara Monish for her kind generosity in organsing the easter egg hunt for the whole school.

House Cross Country
All students participated in House Cross Country last Friday. It was extremely impressive of all our students who gave their best effort and contributed to their house points. Students were very supportive of each other and cheered on their house mates at the finish line.

Thank you to Miss Holmes for her organisation of the cross country and to all staff for their support.

KPS Trivia Night
It is with great excitement Karingal PS will be hosting their first Trivia Night. Please remember to purchase your tickets as they are selling fast. The Trivia Night will be hosted by a professional and there are prizes to be won on the night.

Mother's/Special Persons Day
Mother's/Special Person's Market Stall will be held on Friday 10th May. Children can purchase a gift for their special person from the stall. Gifts will be priced up to $10.
Mother's Day raffle will be drawn on Monday 13th May.


School Photo Day
School photos will be on Wednesday 15th May. Information will be sent home on how to order your school photos.
Please make sure your child/ren are dressed in full school uniform on this day.

School Jumpers
As the weather is turning colder, children will be needing to wear jumpers. It is an expectation that school jumpers or navy jumpers are to be worn. If your child/ren does not have an appropriate jumper, please come and see the office.
If children choose to wear non school jumpers, they will be replaced with a school jumper during the day and returned at the end of the school day.

Year 6 Tranistion Forms
A reminder to parents/carers of Year 6 students that their transition forms are due back by Thursday 9th May. Please return these forms to your classroom teacher.

Take care and stay safe,

Samantha Cooke
Principal

Kites 4 Kids

There are always plenty of smiles when Jo and Ricky from Kites 4 Kids visit KPS!

Students learned about the history of kites, the different types, and how to fly a kite safely. They then decorated and constructed their own.

Did you know that you can even make a tiny kite out of a teabag?

House Cross Country

We ended our first week of Term 2 with the House Cross Country.
All students put in amazing efforts, scoring house points for their teams.

Our Year 3-6 students ran a course of 1, 2 and 3kms and our Prep-2 students worked as a class to run as many laps of Wingham Park as they could in the allocated time.

Well done to all our students for giving it their all. ðŸ˜€

ANZAC Day

Karingal PS held an ANZAC Day service on Wednesday 24th April. Our service was led by our school leaders. It was lovely to see the respect paid by all our students in the honouring of our ANZACs.

Year 6 leaders were invited and attended the Frankston RSL Commemorative Service at the Franston War Memorial in Beauty Park. This was a wonderful opportunity for our leaders and they proudly represented our school.

A special mention and thank you to the Frankston RSL for their generous donation to assist in the renovation and repair of our ANZAC memorial at the front of the school. It looks wonderful.

Toys over Time

Our P-2 students’ imaginations were engaged, and their sharing skills  encouraged as they encountered examples of toys from as early as 2000 BC – the oldest toys in the world!

The connection between history, the present day and the future was demonstrated; our students rotated through several stations exploring the histories, facts and design variables across a range of toy themes. Students discovered how toys have evolved by exploring their movements, cultural significance and the materials they are made from.

Fairy Garden

We are very privileged to have so many family members contribute greatly to our shool. This includes Mabel (12A) and Morrison's (M3A) grandmother, Marilyn. Over the school holidays, Marilyn created a fairy garden in the Prep/1 area for the children. The children are absolutely loving taking care of the garden and playing in the fairy garden.

Thank you Marilyn.
