A Word From the Principal
We miss all the children here at school.
As we move into a second week of remote learning, many families know where to go to get any information they require around their children's learning, as they need to do this last year. For the newer families to the school, please ensure you are familiar with the school website and classroom programs such as; Webex, Class Dojo and Seesaw. All the learning and communication is delivered through these.
If you are looking for links to join video conferences, they can be located under the remote learning page of our website. I have also created a short video on how to find links to different Webex rooms and one about finding the class work program and resources. These videos are on the recent news (website homepage) and the newsletter.
Contacting staff.
School staff will be following their standard work day hours. If you require assistance from them, please contact them in the appropriate manner within their work hours. School staff are not required and will not necessarily be available to students or families/ carers ouside of their work hours.
Class Dojo or Seesaw are great methods for communicating around school work and expectations.
If you have concerns that are not related to work, please consider emailing the school and this will be forwarded to the correct person.
A huge thank you.
The staff, students and families make KHPS such a wonderful place, even when most are off site. Thank you for everyone for the support you are showing, and the lengths you have gone to over the past week, to ensure that schooling is still happening.
I hope that very soon, school will return to onsite learning and provide a bit of relief for everyone.
Please stay safe.

The Victorian Premiers' Reading Challenge
We support the Victorian Premiers' Reading Challenge.
The Victorian Premiers' reading challenge is a great way to promote reading with your children. Student's will be asked to read a variety of books and record them down, to be submitted under their total. They will get recognition at the end of the challenge period.
Junior school student's will have the books that are read to them, at school, added to their totals. Listening to quality books is just as important as reading them in the early stages of learning.

School Council News
At our May School Council meeting there was an amendment made to our School Values.
Our new Duty of Care policy was also presented. To be more consistent with our School Wide Positive Behaviours work and along with more input from the children our values have now been changed to Respect, Resilience, Responsibility and Safety.
Having consistent values will make it easier for the teachers and the students to follow in all areas of the school.
