School Life Updates
Agriculture Club
Agriculture Club is now at KWS for any interested students from 7-12. This is a great opportunity for students to learn more about growing produce, animal husbandry, fencing, building, planting, cropping and lots more. It will run from 4-5pm on a Monday at the Wolaroi site and 4-5pm on a Friday at PLC. Any student is welcome at either site. You need not have any agricultural background just an interest to learn and try new things. If you need transport to or from PLC on a Friday, please see Mr Riley.

World's Greatest Shave
On the 15th of March, Kinross Wolaroi students help celebrate and support the Leukaemia Foundations 20th year celebrations, where twelve Yr. 11 students and one staff member participated in the iconic World’s Greatest Shave event.
Our very courageous students included; Sophie Schiffmann, Casey Van Elk, Charlotte Simmons, Greta Ward, Ben Bellamy, Ben Gillham, Duncan Suthers, Bradman Gavin, Tom Cusack, Charlie Wilson, Fletcher Taylor, Isaac Prince. We also had one very brave staff member take part, a very big thank you to Tina Moshkanbaryans.
Thank you to all those individuals that participated; with the support of friends, families and colleagues we raised over $17,000. Money raised will give families facing blood cancer including leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma the free emotional and practical support they need as well as help fund vital research.
