Today is Australian Primary Principals' Day – 2nd August.

There will be a P&C meeting tomorrow night (Tuesday 30 July 2019) , 7.30pm start, in the staffroom.
All are welcome!
Today is the inaugural P&C Day – 26th July. On behalf of the staff at Kensington Primary School, I wish to acknowledge the wonderful work our P&C does for the betterment of our school and for our students. The P&C is a wonderful way to be actively involved in the community and to get to know other members of this lovely community, while contributing to the life of the school and improving outcomes for all children who attend here.
Thank you to our fantastic P&C. Last year the P&C raised over $25000 for this year’s wish list (including recurring expenses) of items for the school. This entailed things such as the upcoming kindy upgrades, blinds for the music room, comprehension & reading resources, a junior playground swing (to be installed this term), the Consent 2 Go software, library resources and the much feted Growth Mindset quotes in the senior toilets (with more to come in the junior toilets).
The P&C has been busy this year, fundraising for next year’s wish list too. The Colour Run was a great success, as was the cake stall and sausage sizzle during the federal election, to name a couple of events. Please support our active P&C by booking in to attend the upcoming Old Skool Quiz Night at the South Perth Community Hall on 24th August. We also thank and acknowledge the class reps initiative of the P&C, helping us all stay connected and updated.
Our next P&C meeting is on Tuesday at 7:30pm in the staffroom. Come along and be part of this active and supportive group.
You can enrol your children now in VacSwim swimming lessons during the October school holidays.

If you have any lego materials that are surplus to your requirements, we would love to give it a good home here. We are setting up a quiet play area for those who would prefer to spend their breaks in quiet activities. Lego will make a good addition to this area. Please drop any in to the office after the holiday break or let us know so we can collect it.

The S1 class is seeking a handy parent to do a minor repair to the frog pond - the original plug in the fibreglass bathtub needs to be covered and applied with a silicone seal so that we can refill it and repopulate it with tadpoles/fish. It probably won't take more than 15 minutes to do.
Please contact the office on 6436 8448 if you are able to assist.
Many thanks!

Parent Social Committee
Fun people wanted! We are looking for volunteers who’d like to be involved in the KPS Parent Social Committee for 2019.
This is an informal committee whose purpose is to work with the Fundraising Coordinator to arrange school related social events throughout the year. No matter what your skill set is, everyone is welcome to contribute.
If you’ve been waiting for your chance to get involved with the school but haven’t put your hand up for anything yet – now is your chance to get in on the fun stuff!
Please contact Camille Jeppesen on email camille@fluidfinancegroup.com.au to find out more.
The 2019-20 Entertainment Book is here! Support KPS by purchasing your Entertainment Book via this link – www.entbook.com.au/859a57
We are happy for students who are being directly supervised by the parents to play on playground equipment after school. Supervising other people's children, without consent from their parents, is not compliant with legal requirements. Equipment can not be used before school (except by clubs who have been licensed to use the school site for training) and the oval is out of bounds before and after school.
It has been school policy for some time for the early childhood area (enclosed area where the kindy and pre-primary classes are located) to be vacated by 3:30pm. Likewise, now that we have OSHClub on site, it is important that we vacate the schools grounds by 3:30pm to allow the OSHClub to use the area, as they are licensed to do.
If you would like to pay upfront charges for your child/ren, please see or phone Amanda/Sharon in the office and they can take your payments now.
