KWS Prep School Fortnightly Bulletin

A Message from the

Head of Prep School

A very exciting week in the Prep with our Grandparents Day on Friday followed by Open Day on Saturday.

A wonderful concert has been planned for Grandparents and Special Friends by Mrs Katie Sinclair while there will be a host of activities to be involved in on Saturday.

Saturday requires students to wear their School uniform. All classrooms are open providing the opportunity to look at the work your child has been completing throughout the year.

There will be robotics, cooking our school grown veges, maths challenges, musical items, badge making, solar cars plus a host of other examples of what happens from Pre-Prep to Year 6.

Mr Mark Pritchard will be taking medical leave from Monday November 5 till the end of term. We all wish Mr Pritchard a speedy recovery.

Mrs Tiffany O’Brien who is well-known to all our students and staff will be taking 4P till the end of the year including camp. We thank Mrs O’Brien for her willingness to continue the program for the students.

Our 4 Chess Champions, Krishan Kandeepan, Kajan Kandeepan, Isaac de Bruyn & Lachlan Watts represented KWS at the regional final in Dubbo yesterday. They performed exceptionally well and won the regional final. This covers the area from Lithgow to way, way west. Congratulations boys and Mr Pritchard on a most impressive year. The boys now play another regional winner to  qualify for a place in the Country Finals. We wish them well. You can challenge them on Open Day!

Next Tuesday we welcome Mr Jason Belmonte (ex-student and World Champion Ten-pin Bowler) to be our special guest at our annual Sports Assembly where we acknowledge the effort and achievements of our students.

Parents are most welcome with the assembly commencing at 12:05 in the DPA.

The following week (Nov 13) we acknowledge students who have demonstrated effort and excellence across the Performing Arts area. This year our special guest is Miss Amy Stevens ( ex-student & gifted violist). Amy is an outstanding musician and will also play for us including ‘looping’. Again parents are most welcome.

Along with these events the SRC are holding a walk-a-thon. The students of our SRC have met regularly through the year looking at ways to improve our School. This time they are reaching further afield by assisting our community. Rather than contributing money the motion was put to bring in non-perishables so they can be delivered directly to those in Orange in need. Your support will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks for your support and I look forward to meeting many of you over the next few weeks at the various functions.

At Assembly we acknowledged the following students:

Week 2

  • Respect Values Award - Ella Kerdic
  • Commitment Values Award - Lily Moe
  • Principal's Award - Isabella Lloyd-George

Week 3 

  • Respect  Values Award - Sienna Wilkin

Enjoy your week.
