Anzac Day Service
Principal’s Report
Student-led Parent Teacher Meetings
Last night we held the first session of Student-led Parent Teacher Meetings. Tonight we have
the second session. Thank you to the parents who attended to share in their child’s learning.
Anzac Day
As a member of a huge audience at the Seaford RSL I was extremely proud of our school
choir’s performance. A huge thank you to Mrs Rich; the choir was a credit to you!
Below is some very favourable feedback we received regarding our choir.
Dear Rob
I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the Kananook Primary School choir at both ANZAC
services at the Seaford RSL. Your students performed so well. You must be very proud of them. I
would be grateful if you could please pass on my appreciation to them.
Kindest regards
Sonya Kilkenny MP (Carrum)
Congratulations to everyone involved in yesterday's performance ‘. The choice of music was
wonderful and the children's singing ... just amazing. My Dad is a 90 year old veteran and he,
along with everyone there were very moved by their singing. So well done Kananook Choir!

SPECIAL LUNCH
Helpers are needed for tomorrow’s pizza special lunch. Please meet us in the
Kid’s Kitchen at 1pm to prepare for distributing the pizzas to the classrooms.
SCHOOL BANKING
Tuesday is school banking day. It is great to see some students redeeming their tokens for Term
2 rewards. The new rewards available this term are the Invisible Ink Martian Pens and the
Intergalactic Rockets. ET DVDs and Handballs are still available. Don’t forget, students who bank
20 times over the year get entered into a draw to win a Family Disneyland holiday, so keep
banking! There is still time to get into the competition, sign up to be a school banker now by
going into your local Commonwealth Bank, or come and see us in the KOOSH room on a
Tuesday morning.
MOTHERS DAY STALL
Next Thursday 7th May: Prices range from 50c to $5. Come along and give us a hand.
Do you have any ideas, suggestions or comments? Email us at ptf1@kps.vic.edu.au, call in to
the office or come and see us in the yard.
