School Banking

School Photos

School Photos are on in Week 2 of next term – Thursday 30th July. Envelopes have gone home today and an

information sheet can be found on the Skoolbag app. Students are to wear WINTER SCHOOL UNIFORM.

School Drop off and Pick up next term The department has advised there should be no visitors to school sites unless they are essential. This will continue

next term. Next term we will still have a staggered departure however it will be K-2 leaving at 2.45pm and 3-6

leaving at 2.55pm. Older students will be allowed to leave earlier to pick up K-2 siblings at 2.45pm. This will give us

back a little time in the afternoons as it seems this will be our new normal for the foreseeable future, whilst social

distancing remains.

Can I take this opportunity to thank parents and staff for all of their support in what has been a very long and

challenging term. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and have the opportunity to re-charge and get out and

about a little bit more. Please stay safe and healthy and we look forward to all students returning on Tuesday 21st

July.

Stage 1 Science Day Stage 1 had lots of fun learning all about the Material World. We became scientists who made jelly, play dough and

learnt all about mixing different materials. Watch out world! KPPS mini scientists are on their way!

Stage 3 Fun Science Session Stage 3 students have been looking at different states of matter. During our fun science session, they investigated the changes in matter when exposed to different temperatures, different materials and substances. Students enjoyed participating in a variety of experiments. Teachers thoroughly enjoyed being scientists for a day.

Celebrating 100 Days of Kindergarten – Friday 3rd July Tomorrow we will be celebrating 100 Days of Kindergarten with a special Fairy Tale Ball! We ask that our

kindergarten students come dressed as if they are going to a party ( No school uniform tomorrow ). The kindergarten

teachers have organised some exciting activities including making 100 Day

Crowns, placemats and painting a plate. These will be sent home in Term 3.

To finish off the celebration, we will have a sausage sizzle for lunch. We

would like all kindergarten to be part of this celebration and ask for the $5

fee to be paid at the office. This covers the sausage sizzle and the activities.

Unfortunately parents cannot join the celebration this year due to

restrictions, however, we will be posting lots of photos on Facebook so stay

tuned!

Winter PSSA Term 3

Winter PSSA will commence in Week 2 Term 3 for 9 Rounds each Friday. Students in years 3-6 will have an

opportunity to try out for the Soccer, Netball, Rugby League and Basketball teams this Thursday and Friday at school.

Please note there are no parents or spectators allowed at sporting venues at this stage due to new COVID guidelines.

Each sport has modified guidelines due to the new restrictions for the safety of students and teachers.

If your child is successful in making a team, they will receive a permission note in Week 1 of Term 3.

Scripture Scripture will begin next term and run every Thursday.
