Principal’s Message

Welcome to 2024.

We are so excited to start another adventurous year with you.

We have so many new and exciting things happening this year.

To hear about our new assessment and intervention program, our differentiated math program and our curriculum rotations come to our Meet, Greet and Workshop evening on Wednesday 28th February.

Congratulations to all our swimmers who did a wonderful job at the Small Schools Swimming Carnival, we cant wait to see who qualifies for zone.

I was extremely proud of how #teamkitch conducted themselves throughout the day.

Our Kinders have started off fantastically well, and are settling in beautifully.

Keep your eye on Facebook for updates and we cant wait to see you at our first assembly on Friday 1st March at 2:30pm.

LITERACY & NUMERACY NEWS

2024 has started with a bang at KPS! All of our classes settled in beautifully and jumped straight into their teaching and learning programs.

Kindergarten Koalas are settling into their classroom and their Year 1 friends are setting a great example as they learn about school routines, identifying beginning sounds in words and count with songs and movement. It’s so lovely to see their excitement at starting Big School.

1/2 Kangaroos are studying the beautiful texts ‘Welcome to Country’ and ‘I’m Australian Too’, exploring descriptive writing, Indigenous storytelling and publishing their personal stories. They have started new mathematics units involving exploration of numbers with concrete materials and rich problem solving tasks.

3-6 teachers have been busy over the break becoming familiar with, and planning to teach the new English Curriculum. This involves explicit teaching of reading, spelling, grammar, vocabulary and handwriting in literacy workshops, as well as five-weekly units focusing on understanding and responding to quality literature. For the first half of this term, 2/3 Possum’s are studying the text ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’ by Roald Dahl, 4/5 Emu’s are studying ‘Blueback’ by Tim Winton and 5/6 Platypus’s are studying ‘The Wild Robot’ by Peter Brown.

This year we are excited to introduce differentiated mathematics lessons for primary. Our 2/3, 4/5 & 5/6 classes are mixed to better cater to our students' varied needs, so all students get more targeted lessons meaning everyone is supported and challenged.

We are so impressed with the way the students have focused on their learning in 2024. Have a look at these photos.

ATTENDANCE

Education for your child is important and regular attendance at school is essential for your child to achieve their educational best and increase their career and life options. NSW public schools work in partnership with parents to encourage and support regular attendance of children and young people. When your child attends school every day, learning becomes easier and your child will build and maintain friendships with other children.

Education in New South Wales is compulsory for all children between the ages of six years and below the minimum school leaving age of 17 years. The Education Act 1990 requires that parents ensure their children of compulsory school age are enrolled at, and regularly attend school, or, are registered with the NSW Education and Standards Authority for home schooling.

Once enrolled, children are required to attend school each day it is open for students.
