2020 Prep Transition

 

Kingswood hosted the first two transition afternoons for our new preps. The children very quickly settled into their first groupings and were very excited to see their friends and visit the classrooms. Many thanks to parents Bryan, Karen and Dhani who spoke to our new families and welcomed them into our school community. It was also wonderful to see so many new families connected to the community by engaging in our Classroom Helper's Workshop with Patrick Halpin.

 

Transition Day 2020

 

Our whole school transition day on December 10th will soon be upon us! Over the past few weeks the teachers have been very carefully considering the grades for next year to ensure that children have a positive start to their new schooling year. Information regarding the transition day and assigned year level teachers will soon be shared with parents.

The Twilight Carols evening will also be held on the same day. This will also be a great opportunity to meet other families in the same class for the following year

Assessment Schedule 2020

 

New assessments introduced in term 1 will be supported through teacher release time to grasp how to best implement the assessments and interpret the data provided to inform planning. This release time will also enable teachers to meet one-to-one with students early in the new year and provide privileged time to develop strong connections and build a deep understanding of each child’s personal and social capacity.

Camps 2020

 

A revised Camping program has been developed for 2020 and beyond in response to costs associated with specialty camps and parent requests. This Prep-Year 6 developmental camping program takes into consideration experiences for each year level of the school,

provides a variety of experiences and builds on previous camping activities. Please see the indicative dates and approximate costs for each of the camp experiences available next year.
