A message from the principal

Welcome to our first newsletter for 2025 & a special welcome to all of our new students in Year 7 & in other years who have started at KHS this term. For all of the new parents & carers to KHS I have two expectations of everyone at KHS: 

1. Respect - this is a non-negotiable expectation at KHS. I expect this from everyone - from students to staff, from students to students, from staff to students, from staff to staff & most importantly, from each student to themselves.        

2. Do your best at all times: each KHS student is ultimately the person who is in control of their education - KHS will provide each student with the teaching skills, support & facilities to succeed in their education. Each student alone however will determine whether or not they take up this great opportunity – please remind your child that they will get out of their education what they put into it.

Students have started the year well & I thank parents & carers again for supporting us with the school uniform. Team Spirit will have new supplies this month so please keep an eye out for when they arrive. 

Thank you to those parents & carers who came to Rachel Downie’s parent session last week & I hope it was beneficial. 

Raising a teenager is tough work! I encourage all parents to visit https://raisingchildren.net.au/ & subscribe to their newsletters. This website provides ad-free parenting videos, articles and apps backed by Australian experts.
