School Updates

Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL4)

Kempsey High School has just launched our new Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L) Phone Go, Phone No Policy. Technology and mobile devices can be great learning tools, but there are certain times when they are not required. Teachers will indicate which lessons they can be used with PB4L signage and clear structures. The Phone Go, Phone No Policy supports students to make appropriate choices about their use of technology, teaches phone etiquette and reinforces our PB4L expected behaviours. For further information please visit our school website at https://kempsey-h.schools.nsw.gov.au/ or contact your Year Advisor.

P & C Matters

The Kempsey High School Parents and Citizens Annual General Meeting will be held on the school grounds on Thursday 11 March 2021. Please contact the school for more information. All parents/carers welcome.

Student Bus Passes

As with the beginning of each year, we have 4 weeks for the School Student Transport Scheme Moratorium Period. Therefore, as from 01.03.2021 inclusive, all students will require a bus pass for free travel. Any students that does not hold a bus pass will be required to pay a fare.

It would be greatly appreciated, if you have any pending applications, if they can be processed as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Bus Safety 

Our school bus operator Busways is reminding all road users, parents, and students to ‘be bus aware’ as part of Transport for NSW’s Bus Safety. The ‘Be Bus Aware’ campaign, sees Governments, bus operators, and emergency services raise awareness about the importance of being safe in and around buses and to spread the message to ‘Be Bus Aware’. The initiative provides a timely reminder to parents to have a talk with their children about bus safety; to motorists when giving way to buses; to pedestrians to make sure they are alert of their surroundings; and to cyclists to ensure they can see where buses are. We all have a part to play in bus safety.
