20 November, 2019 General News

Dear Parents,

Over the last three days it has been a special privilege to spend time with our

up and coming Year 5 &6 students at Elanda Eco camp. The children stood out

as caring, co-operative and capable young people. There have been many

opportunities to get to know them better and see in each of them wonderful

possibilities. Thank you to Elanda Eco Camp for delivering an outstanding

quality camp. Our Activity Leader Brendan and assistants – Chloe and Riley

brought out the best in the children. Their patience and experience enabled

the students to connect with the objectives of each activity and game. A

special mention to the amazing Steph and Brad for providing a delicious menu

of breakfasts, lunches and dinners. The food feast kept our bodies and minds

ready to take on each challenge.

My special thanks goes to Mrs Webb for her dual roles as Principal by day

and Camp leader by night. This certainly goes above and beyond in so many

ways! Thanks also to Kearin for being camp organiser and camp leader. What

a great team we have at Kin Kin SS.

Interviews

A reminder to parents to contact the school office for a time

to meet with the classroom teacher.

E kindy

Next year we have the opportunity to apply to become a

site for E kindy one day a week. We are seeking interested families who have

a child of kindy age in 2020 - born July or after 2016 or before June 2017, who

might be interested in attending kindy at Kin Kin State School. If you are

interested in enrolling your child or would like to find out more information

please contact the office.

Bendigo Bank visit

This Friday morning, a representative from Bendigo Bank, Jo Winter will be

here to talk to any interested parents who would like to open up a student

bank account. Please remember to bring your child’s Birth Certificate,

Medicare Card or passport with you.

Swimming next week

Is everybody ready for the big week of swimming next week? We will be

going on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday

and Friday. Students will need to bring

togs, towel, swimming caps (we have

some caps here), goggles if needed,

and sunscreen. Please ensure that your
