KINGSWOOD IS A LEAD SCHOOL

I am proud to announce that the Department of Education and Training recognises Kingswood Primary as a Lead School, due to its high academic results and strong leadership.  100 schools in the state have been identified as Lead Schools. This recognition is a great accolade and endorsement of the work our teachers provide in delivering the best education for all students. We are truly laying the foundations for success and making a positive difference in the life of each student.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR GRADUATES

Last night we celebrated the achievements of our Year 6 students.  Over the past few years, we have watched them play, learn and grow, and now, with a mixture of both joy and sadness, we must also watch them depart Kingswood Primary School and move onward into secondary school.  They have been a wonderful group of students and I wish them well for the future.

2017 FUNDRAISING

I wish to acknowledge the efforts of Parent Club members, President Melanie Inglis, and Jodie Wiggett for raising $21,400. Thank you to the Fete organisers Alba Galban & Melanie White for raising $18,000, giving us the grand total of $39,400. These funds will help pay for the Year 4-6 play equipment project (costing $121,000). The school raised another $58,000 by hosting a Thinking and STEAM Conference. A big thank you to my staff for their work in organising these two events and helping to raise funds benefiting our students. Kingswood is extremely fortunate to have wonderful, dedicated staff and a small core of hard working parents.
