Principal's Report

Dear Families,

We did it – a whole uninterrupted term of learning, fun and community spirit. Thank-you to our gorgeous children for their resilience and adaptability throughout this term. To our dedicated staff for their staying power as we navigated the COVID_19 landscape and responded to illnesses, absences and changes. Despite the challenges thrown our way we warmly welcomed our students back to school and provided a safe and engaging environment for all our children. 

Thank-you to all our families, parents and carers for your partnership and support throughout this first term. Your support of our fabulous school is noted and greatly appreciated by us all. Together we achieved so much for the benefit of our children.

This edition of our iNewsletter is a celebratory edition, celebrating all that we have achieved throughout term 1. Included within the iNewsletter are our Team Curriculum Newsletters reflecting and celebrating on the past term’s achievements.

LAST DAY TERM 1 - TODAY

Today is our final day for Term 1. Students will finish at 2:30pm and will be dismissed from their classrooms. There will be NO assembly today. Extend will operate from 2:30pm today for all children who require the service.

40th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS – SO MUCH COMMUNITY SPIRIT

Our 40th Birthday Celebrations WERE A HIT. Both nights were well attended and as a school community we celebrated reaching this all important milestone. Personally, I was so impressed with the genuine love and care that our community have for Kismet Park Primary School. Thank-you for your support and attendance.

Thank-you to Karen Bodilly for her organisation and leadership of the event. Thank-you to our PCA for their support and organisation of Food Trucks. To our staff for their attendance – thank-you. 

I think we all agree, that after such a long time without the capacity to get together as a community, the last two nights were so very special. Moving forward we have set a benchmark for the ways in which our community will continue to come together after COVID times.

ANZAC DAY

Kismet Park students are welcome to meet at the Sunbury Shrine of Remembrance at 10:30am. Mr Linton and I will be there to greet our students and represent Kismet Park Primary School on this important day. We will lay a wreath on behalf of our School community.
