School Captains News

At St Kevin’s, we are a safe, happy, and respectful community where everyone feels welcome. Our teachers and students are kind, supportive, and always willing to help one another. It’s a place where friendships grow easily, and everyone feels like they belong.

Our school community is very special. Many parents love to get involved by helping run the tuckshop, supporting excursions, and organising events like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day stalls. This makes our school feel like one big family.

Each year, we have a school theme. Our 2026 theme is “Find Your Light.” This reminds us to discover what we love, believe in ourselves, and follow our passions in life.

We also have lots of fun sporting opportunities. In Years 5 and 6, we participate in interschool sports each term, playing games like rounders and other sports against nearby schools. We also compete in cross country and athletics, where we can try events like running, long jump, triple jump, and discus. These events are exciting and help us stay active and healthy.

Our Prep students are supported by caring and dedicated teachers, including Miss Montalto, who is known for being calm, kind, and supportive. The younger students love learning with her and always feel safe and happy.

Excursions and camps are another highlight of St Kevin’s. In Years 5 and 6, we go on camp to Canberra for a few days, which is an amazing experience. We also attend the National Young Leaders Day, where we hear inspiring speakers talk about their journeys. Students in Years 3 and 4 enjoy a fun school sleepover, while Years 1 and 2 visit Sovereign Hill, where they can even find real gold! Our Prep students visit Government House and come back full of excitement and stories.

We also have exciting incursions, like visits from Collingwood players, where students can ask questions and even get autographs!

Leadership is important at St Kevin’s. Year 6 students can apply for roles such as School Captain, Vice Captain, RE Captain, Sport Captain, and more. These roles help us grow as leaders and role models.

We also learn about resilience through our Learning Pit, which teaches us that making mistakes is part of learning. It helps us understand that challenges make us stronger and better learners.

One of the most special parts of our school is the buddy system. Year 6 students support Prep students by helping them find friends, guiding them around the school, and making sure they feel safe and included.

Our school day is also well balanced. We have brain food, snack time, and lunch breaks where we can relax, play, and spend time with friends.

At St Kevin’s, we are a kind, safe, and caring community. We learn new and exciting things every day, support each other, and enjoy coming to school.

That’s why we believe St Kevin’s is the best school in the world!
