Connor's Run
Kilvington has been a proud supporter of the RCD Foundation-Robert Connor Dawes through Connor's run.
While the run couldn't go ahead in its usual format because of lockdown restrictions, students and staff had t-shirts delivered to them, and then ran or walked on their own or with a friend or family member.
As a result of their efforts, they have raised a staggering amount of just over $14,000! We are so proud! Well done!

Footy Colours Day winner and donation to the JDRF
Jacqui Goldenberg, Community Service Director
This Friday, we encouraged students to participate in Footy Day by wearing either their favourite team’s football colours or a favourite sport attire.
As part of the event, a St Kilda jumper was donated by Jordan Tassone in Year 12, and the lucky winner of the footy jumper was Indie Vienet from Year 7! Many thanks Jordan for organising this fabulous prize.
If you are able to make a donation to the JDRF, (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) in memory of Lachie Cook (class of 2021), that would be much appreciated. Thanks to all those who have made a donation.

SchoolTV special report: The wellbeing barometer
SchoolTV has been supporting families and schools for quite some time now by providing guidance and information to help alleviate some of the challenges faced by young people, especially during the pandemic.
In this Special Report, we are seeking parent participation through a short survey. The survey is designed to assist the School to provide a barometer on the state of wellbeing within the community.
The information gathered will assist in focusing on the key issues affecting students and discovering where further assistance may be required. We encourage all parents and carers to spend a few moments completing the survey. This will help with understanding the nature and extent of your concerns and determine how best to support our community.
Please reflect on the information offered in this Special Report, and as always, we welcome your feedback. If this raises any concerns for you, a loved one, or the wellbeing of your child, please seek medical or professional help.
Here is the link to your Special Report.
