Term 2 CSR Meeting

We had a very well-attended Term 2 CSR Meeting last month and were delighted that both our Head of Junior School, Lucas Collins, and Deputy Head of Junior School, Karen Chandler, were able to join us. 

 

It was wonderful to hear about the catch-ups and smaller events being held for individual cohorts and what's planned for the future. Please join the WhatsApp group and/or Facebook page for your year level to stay up-to-date with news and goings on. 

 

Thank you to all our fantastic CSRs who do such a good job of keeping our community engaged and connected. 

PFA refreshments at Senior School Production

We hope all those who attended the excellent performance of Oliver last month enjoyed the snacks and refreshments made available by our wonderful PFA.

 

A massive thank you to Carrie Fowler, Jacquie Rynn, Marnie Turner and Danita Tucker for their leadership and to Margaret Barkley, Merilyn Griplas, Alexia Le, Lanka Nammuni, Sophia Prentice, Karen Roberts and Dina Zaitman for helping out on the night. We are incredibly grateful to you all. A special shout-out to students Ruby McKinnon and Jasmine Ptok who also very kindly volunteered their time and effort. Thank you!

PFA Staff Thank You Morning Tea 

Enormous thanks to all those families who provided such a wonderful array of treats and notes of gratitude for our staff at the PFA Thank You Morning Tea on Wednesday. 

The tables were full of cakes, slices, sandwiches, cakes, cookies, chocolates, quiches, savoury rolls and some tasty sticky rice dumplings for staff to enjoy. It was a perfect event to convey how much we appreciate and value them and all our staff were very grateful. 

Some of the notes of thanks from our teachers include: 

 

'Could you please pass on a heartfelt thank you to the PFA and all who contributed today. I was blown away when I walked into the staffroom and saw enough food to feed a small country! It made me feel genuinely appreciated and blessed to be a part of the Kilvington community. Thank you!'

 

'Thank you to you all for an amazing morning tea. What a treat!'

PFA General Meeting - Tuesday 6 June

The next PFA General Meeting will take place this Tuesday 6 June from 7.30 to 8.30pm in the Boardroom. Everyone is welcome to attend. 

Kilvington Cares – calling new cooks

The Kilvington Cares Program supports our School community by providing meals to anyone in need of a helping hand. The program reflects the Kilvington motto of ‘not for our own, but others’ good’ and is greatly appreciated by recipients. 

 

'Thank you to Kilvington Cares for the delicious meal delivered to our doorstep last week. We are so lucky to be part of this wonderful community.'

 

'Thank you so much, Kilvington Cares. Your thoughtfulness and delicious cooking are very much appreciated.'

 

We are looking for additional volunteers to sign up to the roster and cook either a sweet or savory item (or both) and deliver to Main Reception on a day that suits. This presents a great opportunity for parents to contribute out of school hours and in an anonymous capacity. If you would like to sign up as a Kilvington Cares, you can do so here.

Secondhand Uniform Shop (SHUS)

The SHUS will next be open on Saturday 17 June from 9.00 to 11.00am in Dalton Hall. 

 

The team will be accepting items for consignment. All items need to be in excellent condition and freshly cleaned. Blazers, tunics, skirts and pants should be dry cleaned please. 

 

Thank you to Briohny Marshall and the SHUS volunteers for providing this great service for our students.
