Catherine has years of experience in midwifery and has

delivered these sessions for KPS students over the last three

years. Focus is around the changes that occur in both

females and males going through puberty and allows

students to ask questions. If you have any concerns or

questions about the content of this program, please call me

or drop in for a chat.

This weekend is the annual Whittlesea Show on 3rd and 4th

November and it is an event that students look forward to

every year. Each year student work is submitted in both the

creative writing and art categories. Student work is on

display on both days along with Judge’s awards. This year

some of our senior students also submitted photography

work from their media arts projects. It is always wonderful

to see our student’s great work on show to the public and it

gives them a sense of pride in their work. Students will be

given a free pass to the Whittlesea Show, so if you are not

heading off for the long weekend, perhaps a visit to the

Whittlesea Show is on the cards!

Next Thursday 8th Nov is the first of our 2019 Prep

Transition days. For all students enrolled for Prep 2019 and

any students still considering their options, please come

along and join in the fun and excitement of transition with

Mrs Mac and Chris. Parents dropping off students for

transition are invited to join in our mini-maths session with

younger siblings on Thursday mornings.

Have a great long weekend!

Principals Report

Hello everyone,

This weekend is the Melbourne Cup long weekend, where

the nation stops for the richest horse race in Australia! I

hope you back a winner, if you’re having a bet on the

great race. This also means that we have an in-service

day (student free) day on the Monday 5th Nov, before

Melbourne Cup Day. No students need to attend on that

day. So, whatever you are doing this long weekend, I

hope you are all safe, have fun and are able to get

outside and enjoy the pending sunny weather.

On Monday 29th October, our grade 6 students joined

over 200 other students from local schools in the Wallan

area for their final Leadership Day. Each year I enjoy

taking students to this final day, where students are

inspired by some amazing speakers, participate in some

fun games and meet other students who will be attending

the same secondary school as themselves. Meeting at

Wallan Secondary school, was an amazing opportunity for

our students to be in a secondary school environment

and hear from some of the Wallan Secondary school

students. The day brings with it a feeling of “becoming

real” as our students face the coming transition in their

own lives, as they prepare for secondary school.

Today is Halloween and students are have dressed up in

costume or free dress if they wished to do so. Whether

you participate in Halloween or not, it always makes for a

fun day.

Friday November 2nd, our grade 6 students will have the

opportunity to participate in the annual Puberty Talk

sessions with our qualified mid-wife, Catherine Wheeler.

HELPERS NEEDED

House Sports will be held on Tuesday

27th November and Parent Helpers are

needed. If you can help on this day

between 9.00-11.00am, it will be greatly

appreciated. Please let Mrs Stott or the

Office know.

Thanks

Mason Yehosaphat

Term 4 SRC report to school council After attending our SRC workshop in Term 3 we have refined our focus for the rest of this year and into 2019 around

sustainability and sustainability at KPS.

Current student issues or projects:

1. Veggie gardens need a tidy – work with sustainability captains and gardening club.

2. Have a technology day – students can bring their own tech and we have a day focusing on Cyber Safety,

invite Jane from Seymour Police.

3. Basketball hoops and backboards – 2019 budget!

4. Composting at KPS – need to research best and most practical option for KPS, worm farms?

5. Bin system in classrooms – 3 bins – rubbish, recycling and compost.

6. Water in the sand pit – too wet, unnecessary

7. Little cubby near art room – needs a clean and re-paint

8. Diabetes fundraiser and combine with Walk-Ober?

If any parents are able assist with any of the above projects, the SRC team would be extremely grateful. Please

let us know at the office. Thank you.
