PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

As the year draws to a close, I would like to thank all of the school community for their fantastic efforts. The students have continued to surpass our expectations with their dedication, kindness and academic improvement. Parents and caregivers have gone above and beyond in supporting not just their own children but all of the children at Kem-blawarra Public School. Our amazing staff have worked extremely hard every single day to ensure we have a welcoming and supportive yet academically rigorous environment for our students.

I have enjoyed being Principal this term and would like to thank every-one in the school community for their support. I am excited to wel-come back Ms Schroder as Principal next year and continue to grow and improve our school to the high standard that we envisage. I hope you all have a safe holiday period and enjoy some quality family time with your children. See you in 2019!
