ROAD SAFETY

We ask parents not to walk their children across the road when dropping off and picking them up. Please walk down to the

either of the crossings. A parent came in quite distressed recently as she nearly hit a child who was not using the crossing.

Please assist us with this important matter. Your child’s safety is our concern.

BIRTHCERTIFICATES, IMMUNISATION CERTIFICATES, CHANGE OF ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBERS.

The above items are very important information for the school to have. If your child is injured or sick it is impossible for us to

contact you if you have not changed your phone numbers at the office. Also, it is an Education Department requirement that a

birth certificate for your child is on record at the school as well as immunization certificates or a letter from your child’ doctor.

If you know we do not have any of the above could you please attend to the matter urgently.

SCHOOL REVIEW – WE NEED YOUR

FEEDBACK!

Every four years, schools participate in a review process.

During this review, all members of the school community are

given an opportunity to celebrate the successes of the school

as well as set direction for the future. Kings Park Primary

School is in a review year.

Go to our website www.kpps.vic.edu.au to provide us with

some feedback. Under notices you will see a form which we

kindly ask you to fill out so you can provide feedback on the

school and also provide recommendations for the next four

years. Thanks for helping set direction for our school. Jodi Park

CANTEEN PRICE LIST

It has come to our attention that students are ordering from the

old canteen price list. The current one reads Term 1 2016.

Could you please look at your list and if you have an old one

you may download a new one from our website or collect one

from the school office.

PREP CSEF UNIFORM VOUCHER

We still have a few families who have been given a voucher

for uniforms through the CSEF grant that have still not

collected their free uniform package. These vouchers do

expire soon and as we need to invoice the company who are

providing them. Could you please bring your voucher to

school office as soon as possible.

KPPS AFL Team

All members of the KPPS AFL Team won the P.E. Value award this week for their teamwork and kindness, in

their game against Movelle Primary School.

‘We were winning and we couldn’t let them go home without letting them score. The KPPS Team felt bad and

they stepped aside and let Movelle score one goal to make them feel good about themselves.” By Bailey 6M

SCHOOL UNIFORM

With winter upon us we are noticing that students are starting to wear

hoodies to school. Students may wear coats to school over their uniform

which they will then take off during class time but we do not want to see

hoodies at school. The school fleecy jacket is perfect for over school jumpers

and polos.

Students may also wear skivvies, black, white or green under their polo shirts

for extra warmth but no other colourful items. Tights or leggings under the

school dress, skorts or shorts are also permitted. Colourful tights are not al-

lowed, they must also be black, white or green. Also leggings MUST NOT be

worn with just polo or jumper, they are leggings not pants.

Hoping these rules will be abided by.

COMMONWEALTH SCHOOL BANKING—WEDNESDAYS

The silver tokens that are placed in your banking wallet every week will no longer be used. When a deposit is made the bank keeps a

record and once you reach 10 deposits you will be called to the office to select a prize. Please take the tokens out of your folders and

keep them at home as we do not need them.

ABSENTEES

If your child/ren are away, could you please notify the school. There are three ways to do this - by ringing the school office on 9367

6555, by using our school website absent form on www.kpps.vic.edu.au or by downloading our school phone app Updat-ed.

HEAD LICE

We have had a few reported cases of head lice so we are asking parents to check their child’s hair on a regular basis. We have

checked the classrooms involved and will continue to monitor the problem at school.

The grade 2 students have been learning about

'Our precious Water'. During Week 1 they

planted beans. The beans were set into 4

different settings (no water no sunlight, no

sunlight with water, sunlight and water, sunlight

and no water). Students made predictions on

what would happen to each of the plants. The

discoveries were amazing, with a conclusion that

without water our plants will simple NOT grow.

Eden of 2R said "Water and sunlight are two of the most very important things for a plant to grow very

healthy".

After the 6 weeks was up students planted the beans into the garden during our garden program.
