Last Day of School

Rule of the Week

Gold assemblies

Our next gold assembly will be held tomorrow, Friday 16 November at 12:00pm. As well as gold certificates, we are

also going to be presenting the first gold keys to students

who have demonstrated continued commitment to maintaining excellent behaviour, both in and out of the

classroom. We are very proud of our "KPS Gold Key Kids".

Helpers’ Morning Tea

Each year we have parent and community volunteers who give their time and support on a regular basis to help our

school in a number of ways. This includes activities such as helping in the classroom, covering books, coaching a sport

team or helping in the canteen and uniform shop. We value the good work these people do and to show our

appreciation, we have a helpers’ morning tea towards the end of each year.

We will be having this year’s morning tea on Tuesday 27

November. Invitations will be sent home very soon.

Behaviour Expectations It’s the time of year when many students are getting tired

and restless and some careless behaviour decisions are being made. This has been particularly evident in our Stage

3 students. We would like all students to finish the year on a positive note and encourage students to continue to

maintain high standards of behaviour and respectful interactions with peers and teachers right through to the

last day of school.

Last day of School There have been several enquiries to the office regarding

the last day of school. School finishes on Wednesday, 19 December for all students. Teachers then have two

professional development days and finish on Friday, 21

December.

LESSONS NEXT

From the Principal continued;

Rule of the Week This week’s rules are about behaviour during sport activities. Teachers and students practised and talked

about the following expectations that relate to our school’s four values of Care, Courtesy, Cooperation and

Commonsense.

The reason for these rules is to ensure that everyone gets

to play fairly and have a turn and everyone is safe.

Thank You

Mrs Peters returns from leave tomorrow and I would like to thank the school community for their support while she has

been away. Kincumber Public is a great school.
