Holidays

Whether you are #Back2Barty or #Into5Irwin, the Junior School is back into the full swing of all things Kinross Wolaroi. 

We have had a fantastic and restful three weeks holiday, alongside a great first three weeks of school. From student-led conferences to sports training and skill development involving all students from Years K-6, we have been fully engaged and appreciative of all learning experiences this Term.

With our sights set on the next two months, we look forward to achieving our goals, setting new ones and continually striving to be the best version of ourselves. #seeyouatthefinishline… 

Jeans for Genes

On Friday August 5, the Junior School will be taking part in a ‘Jeans for Genes’ fundraiser to raise money and awareness for children who are born with genetic diseases. 

We thank our Brown House Captains and Leaders who have helped organise this day. We hope our fundraising efforts can not only bring hope to children facing impacts of genetic disease but also make a better future for all affected.

August 2022 Roo Readings

Do you add colour to others’ lives, colour with spice or simply just love the name of Orange as the ‘Colour City…?

Well, this month, the stars have aligned! 

My role as Roo is to bring you all the readings for the month ahead. After being #holidazed and admiring the #colourcity from afar, I thought there is nothing more fitting than to relate our readings to that of colour for the month ahead!
