Swimming Carnival 2021

Did the teachers beat the children or not? That is the question that has been asked. Everyone had a fantastic time at the swimming carnival and it was fantastic weather for it. Thank you to Mr Bodley for his organisation and to the House Captains for organising the races and staying in the pool to assist our non swimmers. Don't forget to go to the gallery Swimming Carnival 2021 on our website to look at more photographs.

Didjeribone

This week the children watched a Didjeribone performance. They were enthralled and enjoyed it immensely. The bell to go home rang and not one child moved. That's saying something about how entertaining it was.

National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence

On Monday the 22^nd of March, KHPS will be supporting the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence (NDA).

We encourage all student's to try and wear a splash of orange to show their support. eg. an orange hair tie, socks, etc.

The National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence (NDA) is Australia’s key bullying prevention initiative, connecting schools and communities to find workable solutions to bullying and violence.

The theme for the NDA 2021 is Take Action Together. This theme aims to elevate student voice, empowering young Australians to join the conversation.
