Student Achievements

Kalinda Kids shine! 

Every day Kalinda kids are achieving great things in their classroom and yard, but we know that outside of school, they are often kicking lots of goals as well (literally and figuratively)! Celebrating the growth of 'the whole child' is something we treasure.

If your student has an achievement that you would like to share please send to Mrs. Hopkins so that we can celebrate them in the newsletter! Whether it is a sporting achievement, Karate grade, Cub badge, community service or amazing new skill - we want to share it with our community. 

I can't wait to hear about your achievements and share them with our community!

Riley's worthy award

Submitted by proud mum Hayley

Among a range of fantastic holiday activities (including a few through the wonderful Team Kids), Riley (2C) attended an all-day basketball program at The Rings, run by Maroondah Council. It was a full day of drills, games, and team activities designed to develop skills and build connections between young basketball lovers.

At the conclusion of the day, Riley was awarded the Player of the Day medal – an encouragement award that recognised not only his growing skills on the court, but also his respectful approach to learning, his willingness to engage fully in every activity, and the kindness and encouragement he showed to others throughout the day.

He came home beaming with pride, and it was a lovely reminder of how powerful sport can be in helping to grow not just abilities, but character too.
