Principal’s Report

Prep – Year 2 students return tomorrow – Friday 10th

September

This is fantastic news that our Prep – Year 2 students are

returning tomorrow! We can’t wait to see all these students

back!

Email Test via GradeXpert!

Hi all, we are testing our email distribution list via

GradeExpert. If you don’t receive a ‘test email’ can you

please let the school know so we can add you into the

system.

Friday 17th September – last day of school for Term 3 –

Footy Colours Day!

Just a reminder that school will finish at 2.30pm next Friday

for on-site students. We are encouraging students at home

(for their 9.30am meeting) and at school to wear their footy

colours on this day!

Planning Day

Next Thursday 16th September teachers have their planning

day. Casual Relief teachers will be teaching students who

are onsite. Students working remotely will have their

9.30am daily check in with me on the Principal’s page on

Teams, and will complete their work as usually via teams or

hard copy as arranged with their classroom teacher.

Naplan

Congratulations to our Year 3 and Year 5 students on their

excellent achievements at NAPLAN this year, particularly

after remote learning! We have numerous academic areas

where our data shows students working well above the

expected level and also above the state average. This

showcases the fantastic efforts by our students, and the

support from our teachers, education support staff and

parents over the last 18 months.

Results to be acknowledged

Year 3 Reading – 2021 – 70 percent of our students are 1

year or more above the expected level in Reading. State

average was 60% - KPS was 70%.

Year 5 Reading - 2021 – 56 percent of our students are 1

year or more above the expected level in Reading. State


Year 3 Writing – 2021 – 70 percent of our students are 1

year or more above the expected level in Writing. State


Year 5 Writing – 2021 – 33 percent of our students are 1

year or more above the expected level in Writing. State


Year 3 Numeracy – 70 per cent of students are 1 year or

more above the expected level in Numeracy. State average

is 41%. KPS is 70%.

R U OK? Day!

To celebrate R U OK? Day, the staff at KPS have prepared a

happiness bag for every child. We know that it hasn't been

easy for students and also for parents during this time, so

we hope the 'happiness bag' brings a smile to every child.

These bags will be put inside the foyer (due to the wind

today) at the front entrance of the school for collection

today.

YOGA – Principal’s Hours – Tomorrow Friday at 12.30pm

We are so lucky to have Clare Roberts run a YOGA session

tomorrow at 12.30pm via Teams. Students are to click on

the Principal’s room!

Julie Stott - Leave

Julie Stott our Italian and PE teacher will be taking leave

next term. She will be taking a well-deserved break! We

look forward to her return next year. Alex Mercuri will be

taking PE, and Amanda Hull will be taking Visual Arts next

term. Amanda is a very experienced visual arts teacher and

we are very lucky to have secured her.

Mulch & Rocks

We are having a delivery of rocks for the front garden and

the succulent garden on Friday. If you have time over the

holidays and can help with distributing it that would be

wonderful!

All library books need to be returned to school so can

you have a look at home in all those hidden place and

return them asap as week need to do a Stocktake.

We are missing three new books out of the Twisted Tales

Book Set they are:

• Once upon a dream

• Mirror Mirror

Please check every where we would really love to see these

books returned.

Good morning and Happy R U Ok day. For those of you who may not know me, I am the Chaplain/School Counsellor at Kinglake Primary School. I have attached a relaxation technique document for you to have a look at and hopefully incorporate into your day and beyond. So remember to be kind to yourself and it's OK to be human with flaws and all.
