Kuta-kaya Work Crew – Repurposing Wheelbarrows 

The Kuta-kaya Work Crew has been getting creative in the garden by repurposing old wheelbarrows into unique garden planters! This hands-on project provides students with a practical opportunity to learn about sustainability and the importance of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. By giving old items a new purpose, students are developing practical skills while helping to create a greener and more sustainable garden space. 

 💜 The People's Purple Day 💜 

Kuta Kaya comes together for a day of colour, fun and belonging! 

Kuta Kaya turned PURPLE as students and staff came together to celebrate The People’s Purple Day, our recognition of Wear it Purple Day and its important message of inclusion, respect and belonging. 

The day was all about showing our young people that everyone has a place at Kuta Kaya. Wearing purple represented our commitment to creating a safe and supportive environment where every student can feel welcome, respected and valued for who they are. 

But it wasn't all serious business – the kids had plenty of fun too! 

Throughout the day, students got involved in a range of activities and events, spending time together, having a laugh and enjoying a break from the normal school routine. There was plenty of purple on display, lots of smiles and some great friendly competition as students and staff joined in. 

The activities gave everyone an opportunity to connect with students they might not normally work with and helped create a fantastic sense of community across Kuta Kaya. 

Behind all the fun was an important message. Young people can face many different barriers, including discrimination, racism, homophobia, transphobia and disadvantage. At Kuta Kaya, we want our students to know that they are seen, they are supported and they belong. 

The People’s Purple Day showed exactly what Kuta Kaya is about – our kids, our staff and our community coming together, supporting each other and having a great time while doing it. 

💜 Different people. 

Different journeys. 

One Kuta Kaya. 💜

Who Knows Their Footy?                                                       Kuta Kaya Tipping Heads to the Finals 

By Jed Singer – Kuta Kaya Sports Reporter 

The NRL regular season has reached the pointy end, and things are heating up in the Kuta Kaya Footy Tipping Competition! 

The last round before the finals certainly gave our tipsters plenty to talk about. The Bulldogs suffered a defeat, throwing a spanner in the works for anyone who backed them to finish the season strongly. 

Meanwhile, the Rabbitohs got the job done against the Roosters, giving Souths supporters something to celebrate and catching out a few tipsters who went the other way. 

And then there’s Penrith. The Panthers continue to storm their way towards the top and are looking dangerous at exactly the right time of the year. With finals footy arriving, they could be the team everyone needs to watch. 

But the biggest question around Kuta Kaya isn't just who will win the NRL Premiership — it's who will win our tipping comp?
