Worth Knowing

Kilvington in the Media: Embracing the Promise of AI

Kilvington was prominently featured in The Age on Sunday 29 March in the article Embracing the promise of AI. The piece includes insights from our Head of Teaching and Learning, Ms Alice James, highlighting the School’s deliberate approach to integrating AI as a tool to support learning, rather than replace thinking.

It is encouraging to see Kilvington recognised for an approach that ensures students are developing the skills, judgement and confidence needed to navigate an increasingly complex, technology-rich world.

Drop Off, Then Drop In: Omnibus Café is Open!

The new Omnibus Café has quickly become a lively addition to campus, already drawing a steady stream of students and staff. With its welcoming atmosphere and range of delicious options, it is fast establishing itself as a popular place to pause, connect and recharge during the school day.

For parents at morning drop-off, the Barista Window, located just east of Junior School Reception, is open from 8.00am to 9.00am, offering freshly brewed coffee to start the day. You are warmly invited to enjoy your drink on the Terrace, which is open for parents to relax and connect until 9.00am, or to take your coffee with you on the go.

Families may also be interested in our new Kilvington reusable coffee cups, available for $20. These double-walled, insulated cups are a practical and sustainable option, designed to keep your coffee warm while fitting neatly into your standard car cup holders.

We look forward to sharing more in the coming weeks as we prepare for the Café’s official opening and celebrate the generous support that helped bring this wonderful community space to life.
