Kaimkillenbun State School remembers ~ ANZAC Day 2018
KSS – Working together to ensure that every day, in every classroom, every student is learning and achieving.
Welcome to this late edition of our newsletter…..
I feel as though I am learning something new everyday here in Kaimkillenbun. For a town that is so small, I learnt
yesterday just how big its heart is. I have been to many state school ANZAC Day ceremonies but I have to say that
yesterdays event was by far the most touching. I have been working closely with Mr Noel Burton and the Kaimkillenbun
ANZAC Committee and yesterday really was a testimony to their hard work and dedication along with our ever-present
P&C. The park that I drive past every few days was transformed into the most peaceful, tranquil gathering of
community. A gathering where people come together as one to commemorate those that have served and those that
have fallen. I have opened this weeks newsletter with some images that that have made this years commemeration
so special. I hope you like them.
I would like to thank Mrs Loretta Vickery and Mrs Jodi Grabbe for capturing all of the moments included here.
This weeks newsletter has lots of information – I encourage you to keep up to date with happenings both within the
school and outside of, to ensure that you don’t miss anything.
**URGENT Seeking your support**
The KSS P&C have been working very hard behind the scenes in readiness for the 20th Annual
KSS P&C Trail Ride. As you would already know, this weekend significantly supports this great

experiences for your children. The new playground is a perfect example!

UNSOLD RAFFLE TICKETS TO THE OFFICE NO LATER THAN MONDAY 30TH APRIL

AUNTS, UNCLES, FRIENDS…..ANYONE THAT CAN SPARE SOME TIME TO HELPOUT WOULD BE GRATEFULLY RECEIVED.

Invitation - seeking your input
The Queensland Department of Education is committed to ensuring that all students have access to
high quality learning opportunities, focused on their individual needs, in an inclusive setting.
Inclusive education ensures that schools are supportive and engaging places for all school community members. It builds
communities that value, celebrate and respond to diversity. It is under-pinned by respectful relationships between learners
and school community members. It is supported by collaborative relationships with parents and communities through
communication, learning partnerships, participation and consultative decision-making.
Each Queensland region has an Inclusion Coach. Their role is to support schools to develop inclusive practices. Our region’s
inclusion coach, Gail Williams, has offered to engage the Kaimkillenbun school community in a process that will identify our
strengths and areas to develop. In this process, Gail will meet with all school staff, some students and parents to learn more
about our school culture and our practices. Gail will then provide a report that collates these findings. The report will
provide considerations – areas that we could develop as we strengthen our inclusive practices across the school.
Gail will be in the school on Tuesday 15 May from 8:00am to 4:00pm. If you would like to meet with Gail to share your
perspectives on what we are doing well and areas that we can improve upon in relation to inclusive learning, please
contact me directly via email or phone so that I can schedule a time for you. I am also happy to answer any questions you
might have regarding inclusive learning via your preferred contact.
Until next week!
