Student Achievements
Kalinda Primary School
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!

Kalinda champs!
Submitted by parent Mark J on behalf of the team.
Maroondah Magic Basketball Club fielded a team comprised entirely of Kalinda kids for the summer 24/25 season. Grade 5 students Alfie B, Brock H, Mason F, Max C, Oscar G, Toby J, Tom A and Xav H won their Kilsyth Basketball grand final at the start of the Easter holidays. The boys became Under 11 B Res champions, winning their grand final in style 45-37 to cap off a perfect 12-0 season.
As parents, it was lovely to watch a group of schoolmates come together to encourage each other, demonstrate excellent teamwork and promote each other's strengths all whilst exhibiting great sportsmanship and fair play.
