Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to Term 2!

I hope you enjoyed a restful and refreshing Easter break. The term ahead promises to be an exciting one, with Year 4, 5 and 6 Camps, community nights, and excursions designed to bring our Term 2  CHANGE unit to life.

The theme of Change will also be reflected through our Chapel services, focusing on the big idea that that when we encounter Jesus, He changes us, and through that transformation He uses us to impact the world around us. 

Parent Overviews:

Our Assembly focus this term aligns with our Formation program, with a strong emphasis on developing social skills. Across the school, we use the language and strategies of Friendology friendship curriculum by UR Strong. As parents, you can sign up for free and join us in framing your child’s friendship growth and development by using this link: https://urstrong.com/parents/

Updates and Important Information

Parking: Please refer to newly signed areas indicating No Parking or Staff Only parking zones. As a reminder, only parents with children attending Kingdom Kids are permitted to use the designated Kingdom Kids parking spaces.

Donations Please!: We are looking for donations of loose parts (PVC pipes, tyres, large industrial reels or crates) to inspire young ones to build, create and play imaginatively. Please drop donations to the undercover space outside the Hub.

Prep-Stage 1 Playground: The new playground is officially open! Prep teachers have provided opportunities at the end of last term to teach our little ones how to play safely on the new equipment. The playground is supervised for play at break times (not before school please) for Prep and Stage 1 students.

Parents, thank you for your continued support and partnership, it truly makes a difference in our school community. I look forward to a fantastic term together.
