Keeping you connected with Kilvington

Camilla Fiorini, Director of Marketing and Development

As a community, it is important that you know where to go to get updates on what is happening at Kilvington, both in terms of your child and more broadly.

KCEE – KILVINGTON'S LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

This is your main go-to for information. For our new parents, KCEE is our Learning Management system where you can access and update information relating to your child, including live academic results, calendar, events, activities and news.

You can download the KCEE app from the App Store, and remember to set how you would like to receive notifications from us.

You will find KCEE support information on the left-hand side of your parent dashboard.

New parents will have received access details including log-in details prior to commencing the new year. If you haven’t, please contact our IT Department on 9578 6231.

CONSENT2GO

Consent2Go enables you to provide permission for your child to attend events and be photographed or filmed for Kilvington’s various platforms; update personal details; and, complete and update medical information. You will receive alerts together with a link from the School when you are required to provide any information.

SOCIAL MEDIA

OurKilvington Facebook  page is another way of staying in touch with events, activities and news. 

Our Class Social Representatives (CSR) have also set up Facebook and WhatsApp Groups for particular classes. Please reach out to your CSA to access what has been set up for your class/year level (see PFA News for a list of CSRs).

We are also on Instagram –  search for kilvingtongrammarschool.  

ACCESS TO PARENT CONTACTS

We are currently updating our process of opting in or out of being on class email lists that are used by CSRs to communicate with you about social opportunities. In the meantime, please let our Community Liaison Coordinator, Bianca Lapins, know at lapinsb@kilvington.vic.edu.au if you do not wish to be contacted by your CSRs for these opportunities.

PUBLICATIONS

And, of course, you will receive the School newsletter – In the Know – every fortnight. You will also receive the School magazine, KNews, mid-year, and the Kilvonian (student yearbook) at the end of the year.

We are always open to feedback on how we can better communicate with you. Feel free to contact me via fiorinic@kilvington.vic.edu.cau or Bianca, lapinsb@kilvington.vic.edu.au, with your questions, concerns or issues.

A reminder – dropping off and picking up around the School  

Please be respectful of our local and School community when parking/dropping off/picking up at and around the School. 

This includes not parking in School driveways, across crossings, across residents’ driveways, on nature strips and in No Standing and restricted areas. 

The local Council has been particularly active of late fining parents for parking across the crossing in Lillimur Road when dropping off and picking up children.

Please be mindful of parents waiting to drop off their children in the various zones around the School. 

If you could please drop your children off as quickly as possible and move on, regardless  of the time allowed, it will help reduce the level of congestion around the School and frustration experienced by waiting parents.

For parents of Senior School students, please consider parking or dropping them off from nearby streets to walk the short distance to School. 

Parents who are using the 25 minute parking areas to escort their children into primary school, please vacate the area once your child is safely dropped off.
