Harmony Day 2024

Harmony Day was on Thursday 21st March and is a celebration of our cultural diversity.  Australia is one of the most successful multicultural countries in the world and we should celebrate this and work to maintain it.  This year the message for Harmony Week is 'Everyone Belongs'.  It is about inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for all Australians, regardless of culture or linguistic background, united by a set of core Australian values. 

Orange is the colour chosen to represent Harmony Day.  Traditionally, orange signifies social communication and meaningful conversations.  It also relates to the freedom of ideas and encouragement of mutual respect

To celebrate this event at KHPS, students either wore cultural clothing or costumes to represent their cultural background, or they came in something orange. Students worked in mixed age groups to do a variety of fun activities to create awareness of the wonderful diversity we have in Australia such as painting henna designs on paper hands and creating school wall murals.  They talked about their own cultural heritages and participated in an incursion which introduced them to techniques and sounds of African drumming. 

Take a look at our gallery of the students and staff getting into the spirit of the day!



Grandparents and Special Friends Day 2024

On Wednesday afternoon our school was buzzing with excitement as our students welcomed their grandparents and special friends to join them for an afternoon of fun and to share what they have been learning in their classroom.  There were many activities for the students to do to build memories with their loved ones.

It was great to see so many grandparents and special friends at our school.  
Involvement from all generations in a child's education has very positive effects.  Thank you to everyone who was able to attend and share this day with the students!

Fun Run 2024

DRUM ROLL PLEASE! The winners of our Random Draw are: Phoenix, Lylah-May and Mason. These winners will have the opportunity to slime a teacher at the event on Monday! The staff members who are getting slimed will be decided by all the students on Monday with a loudest cheer vote.

With everyone’s efforts we have now hit over $3000 to go towards the upgrades of the basketball courts. Also, THREE teachers will be slimed at the Colour Run event! Great work to everyone who has raised money so far, we are so appreciative! It is not too late to get involved, simply create a profile at funrun.com.au.
