Sharing Our News Welcome Back
Out and About
Stage 2 had a wonderful day in Sydney on Friday. The excursion
was designed to round off their learning on ‘Our Fleeting Past’. The
weather was fantastic and The Rocks is always a vibrant place to be.
I was especially impressed with the quality of artworks produced by
the students as they sketched landmarks from Campbell’s Cove.
Thank you so much to Mrs Barry for her organisation and Mrs
Bowman, Miss Gay and our parents for their involvement on the day.
Writing Enrichment
I had great pleasure in sharing a learning experience with the
students who took part in our Writing Enrichment Day yesterday.
These students worked through a variety of sessions in the day to
enhance their writing skills. Thank you to Mrs Hovey for her
organisation. Also thanks to Ms Garven and Mrs Hawkins for their
presentations.
Naplan
Naplan takes place next week. There is more information further on
in the newsletter.
Reports/Assessments
This term is a short term – 9 weeks. The staff still have quite a lot to
teach before assessment can begin – especially in Stage 2 and 3.
For this reason they have asked if we can send out reports in Week

Class teachers will contact you for an informal meeting or interview if

Next week Year 3 and 5 students throughout
the country will be commencing the NAPLAN
assessments. These assessments will be held
in classrooms on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday mornings, starting at 9.30am.
We ask that all parents/carers support their
children on these days by ensuring they arrive
at school on time, with a good breakfast ready
to start the day. There will be a make-up day on
Friday 17th May for any student who may be ill
through the week.
WOOLWORTHS EARN AND LEARN
Our school will be again participating in the Earn and
Learn program run through Woolworths. If you would like
to collect your points and send them into the office we will
collate them and exchange them for craft or stationery
items for the children to be able to use at school.
Whooping Cough
There has been a reported case of Whooping Cough
at the school. Please see your Doctor if your child is
Parking Signs As you are aware we have new signs in Sussex Street to cater for the safety of our children. For your convenience we have included some information from the RTA website:
To further ensure the safety of our children, the P&C has erected signs on the Sussex street fences to remind drivers of the drop off/pick up area. These signs indicate the areas where the zone starts and finishes.

Working Bee
The KSPS P&C will be holding a Working Bee
in the school grounds on Saturday 22nd and
Sunday 23rd June.
We are eagerly looking for support to help with
a number of jobs including:
Sorting/clearing of the garden shed
Removing/relocating furniture from under
the infants buildings
Sports equipment audit
Tidy up of the vegetable garden/chook
area
Miscellaneous gardening.
Lunch will be provided on both days, and we
would ask if you are able to bring along a trailer
or spare tip vouchers they would be put to good
use.
If you are able to help could you please indicate
on the form below and send it in to school with
your child, or hand it in at the office. The P&C

be available online from Monday, 29th
April 2013 by

Cracker Night 2013
At the P&C meeting on Monday night plans came
well under way for this year’s cracker night, as it will
be here before we know it!
We would like to ask that all parents/carers put the
2nd August in their diaries so you are able to attend,
and hopefully help out at, this fantastic event. This
evening raises in excess of $10,000 each year for
our school, and as a result we are able to purchase
many valuable resources for your children.
To begin the planning process, we are going to form
a committee who will co-ordinate the night. If you are
able to contribute to this committee, the first meeting
will be on Wednesday 15th May at 9.30am at the
school canteen.
We would also like to get an early indication of
volunteers available. Any help would be much
appreciated, whether you would like to help co-
ordinate a stall or help serve for an hour. Please fill
