Special Programs for 2023 School Visits

Very soon I will be starting to attend some of our local primary schools and speak to the Year 6 students about our Special Programs. Please note that the closing date for applications is the Monday 2 May so if you know someone who may be interested in applying for one of them, then please direct them to our website for more information.

Student Planner

As a reminder, can you please ensure that your students have their Student Planner and are using it. A great way to check is to write a note in it and have them get the teachers to sign it. This is a great communication tool and also helps to develop those planning skills which are becoming more vital in an ever changing employment market.

Cybersafety

I have been fielding some questions on Cybersafety lately so I want to remind you about the Office of E-safety. This is a wonderful resource for all ages and discusses very real examples of how to keep your child safe in an Online world. 

Mentor Teachers

One of the greatest resources at school are our amazing staff and especially the work they carry out with their mentor class. The Mentor Teacher is a major part of our Pastoral Care system here at KSHS and so I would urge you to make contact with your child’s mentor teacher as they work with them on their journey across High School.

Hooray! It’s back on. Out tradition of taking our Year 8s out into the wonderful Community and seeing what is just at our back door. We take each Year 8 mentor class about 11km (by bus) from Kalamunda and we then pick up the Bibbulmun Track and walk back to school. It is a great day that really builds resilience and a wonderful sense of accomplishment. I have attached the timetable below and notes will come out about 2 weeks prior to the day.
