Rule of the Week

Working bee before the big movie night Many thanks to everyone who helped at the working bee last Sunday in preparation for the big movie night. The grounds look

great and particular mention goes to Janine Roberts for the incredible staffroom garden makeover. What a difference it has

made! Don‟t forget to buy your tickets to Despicable Me on the big

outdoor screen online!

Book Week, Book Parade and a Flash Mob! Mrs Judd, our teacher/librarian, was hard at work in the library with Book Week and the Book Fair last week. The book parade

was a huge success and the flash mob was a big hit too! Thank

you Karen Wardlaw and Stage 3 for encouraging us all to dance!

Athletics Last Thursday I attended the first day of the Brisbane Water zone

athletics carnival. It was an unusually hot day for this time of year and tested out the competitors. I am very pleased to say

that the KPS kids were an absolute credit to our school.

They had many successes on the day and had exemplary behaviour both on and off the field. Mr Smith has included

detailed results in this newsletter. Well done everyone and congratulations to the children who go on to compete at Sydney North level. Thank you to Miss Ennis and Mr Smith for

accompanying the children to Mingara for two days of competition.

Uniforms Teachers have had a daily check of uniform this week and

reported the results to me. While doing the daily checks it has become apparent that there are a lot of students who could be

more careful with their possessions and a number of children who have others‟ belongings. Parents and carers, can you please check that the items of clothing, including hats, belong to your

child and return any that are labelled with another student‟s name. We will try hard to match everyone with their own

possessions.

Just a reminder about what is uniform – black leather shoes or

white joggers for sport, legionnaires or broad brimmed hats and black track-pants or shorts are uniform. There have been a large number of Raben-style canvas slip-on shoes in a rainbow of

colours, black leggings and skinny black jeans or baseball cap-style hats being worn.

Thank you for helping us to look good inside and outside of school!

Rule of the Week

This week‟s rules are about bus lines. Teachers and students practised and talked about the following expectations that relate to our school‟s four values of Care, Courtesy, Cooperation and

Commonsense.

The reason for these rules is that there needs to be smooth

organisation and operation to get children safely on the right bus.

Hope you had a great week at our great school!

Well done to the seven students who made it through to the

Sydney North Carnival at Homebush. They are Ottie Clarke, Chloe Charlton, Karla Nicholls, Bella Matthews, Emily Andrew,

Book Fair

Thank you for supporting our 2012 Book Fair. Our commission is two tote trays full of books, and some

credit to purchase more books later in the year. I send out a special thank you to Deb Scarlett and Megan Cranney for

all their assistance. I wouldn‟t have managed without them. These special events are made possible through the

support of our parent body.

Book Week Parade Our special parade guest, Geronimo

Stilton, was a big hit with students,

staff and parents. Students paraded

with their sandwich boards that had

been made in class, displaying their

favourite book and a character from

that book. It was obvious that all

classes had dedicated a lot of effort to

this project. Well done teachers and students. Geronimo

thought that all the sandwich board displays were wonder-

ful, and he loved our flash mob dance at the end.

Geronimo asked me to let you know how much he enjoyed

coming to our book week parade, and he wishes you all

“happy reading”.

Wake Up and Read

Our school performance of Wake Up and Read will be this Friday morning. Please check that the note and payment

have been returned to school.
