Year 7 PD Day

The Year 7 students will be participating in their first Personal Development Day at Killester College. The main focus of this day is based on the understanding that the human person is essentially in relationship with others. The program runs at every year level and, in Year 7, it involves a day long program focusing on Personal Safety, Resilience and Friendships. As part of the program a guest speaker will address the students about personal safety in public settings and cyber safety. Students will also participate in friendship awareness activities and building positive relationships with family and friends. It is important that all students attend this day.

All students have been asked to bring a white t shirt as part of their homeroom period on Wednesday 28th August as part of their affirmations session. Students need to wear comfortable clothing with runners and bring items for a shared lunch. Students with special dietary requirements will need to bring their own lunch please. We request that students do not bring food that needs to be reheated. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me on 9547 5000.

Emergency Management Plan

Your daughter (s) may have come home with news that we had another Lockdown Drill at the end of last week. These are an important aspect of safety here at the College. The girls were very patient, as we checked buildings, doors and windows, staying quiet under their desks. Thanks to everyone for ensuring this was a successful drill.

Subject Selections

The selection of subjects for 2020 has now closed. It has been a very smooth process this year. Now begins the discussions regarding 2020 and beyond.
