The Olympic Dream Concert 2024



We are so thrilled at how successful our school concert 'The Olympic Dream' was on Wednesday night.  The concert was a spectacular showcase of our students' talent, teamwork, and enthusiasm.

From the moment the curtains opened, it was clear that the students had truly embraced the spirit of the Olympics.  Each performance was filled with energy and creativity.  The concert featured a variety of performances, including lively dances, powerful songs and dramatic skits, all inspired by the Olympic Games.

We would like to thank everyone who helped make this concert possible.  Our dedicated teachers and staff put in countless hours to ensure every detail was perfect.

Finally we would like to congratulate our students for their outstanding performances.  It was wonderful to see the smiles on their faces as they took to the stage.  

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the concert.  We hope that 'The Olympic Dream'  will remain a cherished memory.

Father's Day Breakfast 2024

What a fantastic morning we had today at our annual Father's Day breakfast!  It was wonderful to see so many of our students and their dads, grandfathers, or special family members enjoying a lovely morning together.  The room was filled with plenty of smiles and laughter and delicious egg and bacon rolls cooked by Mr Bodley.

We would like to wish all the amazing men a very special Father's Day this Sunday, and we hope our students spoil you with lots of love and kidness.

The Olympic Dream Video

Dear parents/carers/grandparents,

Thank you for supporting our whole school concert. It was a fantastic night and the children have been buzzing at school.

An attempt to provide a link to the video was made on Thursday 29/8. However, it did not work very well. The length of the video and the school creating a new account is what was causing the problem. 

The video will be back up and running with instructions on how to access the link as soon as possible. 

If you wish to get a copy put on a USB, please bring one to the office and see Victoria Freeman or Jeremy Bodley.

 

School Hats To Be Worn Again
School hats are needed from now until the end of the school year, if students wish to have open play time. 

Students without hats will be able to play under the covered synthetic grassed area.

Annual Father's Day Breakfast
What a wonderful school community we have at KHPS. 
The fathers, grandfathers and special family members who attended the Father's Day Breakfast packed the library. 

Those bacon and egg rolls must of been good because they went fast!
