Principal’s Message
Grandparent’s Day
What a great afternoon!
As with all these things, trying to work out how
many to cater for is an educated guess….how
happily wrong we were! The response from
Grandparents delighted their Grandkids and in
return delighted their Grandparents.
The air conditioner had been going in the hall for
a number of hours making it a cooler space
however letting 320 kids in, their teachers, other
staff and the many Grandparents unfortunately
allowed a bit to escape, despite the three door
openers and shutters who were on duty. So
whilst it got a bit warm it was far more bearable
than the 39 degrees outside!
I visited a 1-2 Class on Tuesday morning for
another reason, however I usually have a chat
to the kids in any class I visit and I asked them a
number of questions regarding Grandparent’s
Day; to which the vast majority of the class
responded with arms in the air indicating a
strong “YES”;
“How many people had their grandparent’s
come to school on Monday?”
“How many of your Grandparent’s said they had
a wonderful time spending some time with you?”
“How many of you enjoyed spending some time
with your Grandparents?”
“Who would like to have their Grandparents
come again next year?”
And the most important one!!!
“Who would like to do this at a cooler time of
year?”
Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes and Yes were the
responses. It was a special afternoon for lots of
people.
A huge thankyou to the teachers for opening
their classrooms and helping co-ordinate the
afternoon particularly to our Positive Behaviour
For Learning Team who were the instigators of
the idea.

SRC Fundraising
The SRC has chosen to support Breast Cancer
this Term. In Week 6, Wednesday, 12 November
there will be a “Dress in Pink Day.” The
students are asked to make a gold coin donation.
There will be cupcakes for sale for 50c in the
canteen area. All proceeds will go to support the
National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Kinder Orientation
Thursday, 6 November is our first Kindergarten
Orientation Day for 2014. Parents and new
Kinders will meet in the top COLA at 9am where
staff will be there to greet them.
We commence our day with a grand tour of our
school, which we hope provides both parents and
students with some insight into our school layout
and how we operate.
Parents are invited to stay for morning tea at the
completion of the tour, and fill in necessary
paperwork in regard to their childs enrolment. Just
a reminder that there is 3 documents required for
enrolment which include a Birth Certificate,
Immunization Record and Proof of Residence
e.g. utility bill, rates notice etc.
Parents will need to collect their children at 3pm.
Any parents who are still undecided as to where
your child will attend school next year, you are
most welcome to attend KPS Orientation Days.

2W Camp
2W camp was the best.

we got to make plastic flowers from fizzy
drink bottles and spray paint them

we printed bottle brush flowers

we made pizza and ate it for lunch

we made sock puppets

we screen printed our T-shirts.
We made a mess on Mrs Witcombe’s table when
we made pizza bases. We had BBQ for dinner and
there were 79 people there!! We had vanilla ice
cream for dessert. Mrs Witcombe read us a
bedtime story and it was fun.
We were all up at 5 o’clock in the morning wanting
‘Milo please! Ah!! Mmmm!!! ’
