What a fantastic term of learning and fun we have had. The preps have
all settled in well and are really enjoying their developmental learning in
the mornings in their magnificent, huge room. The term has just flown by
with the students getting to know their new teachers and their teachers
getting to know them. As well as this we have had a variety of extracurricular activities such as:
•
Swimming for grades 3-6
•
HOUSE athletics sports
•
Moyne athletics sports
•
Ride to school day
•
Clean up Australia
•
Kitchen Garden for grades 3-6
•
Pancake Day
•
Grade three and four camping sleep over
•
Folk Festival singing and concert
•
Grade six leadership congress
•
Starlab
The K.D.P.S. family welcomed Oscar Mathew Buck to its ranks on
Saturday. We were all so excited to meet him and he is very cute.
Congratulations to Rachael and Mathew on the birth of this very special
little boy.
We say goodbye to Bec Beard who is heading overseas on an
adventure. Bec has been a wonderful addition to our staff and will be
missed by both staff and the students. All the best Bec, we can’t wait to
hear about all of your travels.
Thank you to all families who generously donated to the Easter Raffle
and also sold tickets. We hope the prize winners will be happy with their
treats and a big thank you to the Parents and Friends Group who
organised the raffle and wrapping.
Finally on a personal note I would like to thank everyone for their
support this term. Michelle’s absence left huge shoes to fill and I couldn’t
have done it without the work that our staff do to run our school. They
are truly a unique group of people who love what they do and it shows
every day. It was a great experience and I learned a lot but I am really
excited to return to the classroom and I know that Michelle is equally as
excited to return to us. I am sure she can’t wait to see you all again and
catch up with everyone. I hope you all have a lovely break maybe
making a leprechaun to display for the Irish Festival.
We return on Monday13th April, enjoy your Easter,
Hayley Hoy
Congratulations to Miss Lenehan
and Mr Buck on the safe arrival of
baby Oscar.
