Welcome Back to School!
It's hard to believe we have already had our first week of term (albeit, a short week).
Clubs and Activities
Please ensure you have noted down what activities your child has signed up for; the correct afternoon collection time, and payment required. *All payments must be made by the end of next week please. These can be paid directly to the coaches, or through the school office.
Recycling Program
The Kennedy House Recycling Group is close to recycling almost 1 tonne of rubbish since we joined the Recycler company. If you would like to join this scheme please get in touch with the office and we can assist you.
Sports Captains
Congratulations to our newly appointed sports captains:
Ella Braack - U11 Hockey; Surinder Aggarwal - U11 Cricket and Beau Prescott - U13 Volleyball
Lamda Awards
We received our Lamda results over the holidays and what wonderful results we received. Congratulations to all of the children and of course, Mr Woolgar for working so hard with preparing the children and building up their public speaking confidence and poetry recitals.
We received 2 merit awards and 11 distinctions!
Maths passports
If any parents would like to volunteer to assist us with our mental maths passport scheme please get in touch with us. It would require you to be at school just a few days per term (a Thursday specifically) between 10.20 - 12.30.
Triathlon and Colour Run
Get training and register. Sign up forms will be sent out soon, and we have even more race options this year. See the posters below for more details.
