Dear KPS Families,

As we embrace the cooler weather this week, please ensure your child wears their school jumper to stay warm. The recent rain has certainly marked the arrival of winter.

National Reconciliation Week (26 May – 2 June)

This year's theme, “Bridging Now to Next”, encourages Australians to build respectful relationships that honour the truths of the past while paving the way forward.

We were privileged to have a group of Aboriginal elders volunteer their time to teach Years 5 and 6 students the art of weaving. A heartfelt thank you to the elders and to Karen for organizing this special experience.

King's Birthday Holiday & Student Free Day

Please note that Monday, 9 June is the King's Birthday public holiday, and Tuesday, 10 June is a Student Free Day. Students are not required at school on these days. Enjoy the long weekend!

Reports & Parent/Teacher Conferences

• Reports will be available on COMPASS on Thursday, 3 July. If you wish to discuss your child's progress, please contact the class teacher directly to arrange a meeting.

• Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences are scheduled for Monday, 21 July, which has been designated as a Student Free Day by the School Council. A notification will be posted on COMPASS in the coming weeks to book your interview time.

Uniforms & Head Lice

• Please check that your child has the correct jumper. Many students have misplaced theirs, and some named jumpers are not in lost property. If your child has someone else's jumper, kindly return it to the office.

• Head lice are circulating again. Please inspect your child's hair, and consider treating it as a precaution.

We are honoured that this special event will be attended by the Mayor, Cr Kris Bolam and councillors who will visit our school and Community Garden.

Thank you to Marilyn and her team for all their hard work and wonderful garden.
