As we come to the end of Term 3 - I hope it has been a successful one for our students and families.

Year 12 celebrations

Our Year 12s will finish the term with their breakfast, final assembly and school ball.  It is a wonderful celebration of their time at KSHS, and we acknowledge this amazing cohort of students as they prepare for their final assessments and to transition to school leavers. 

We will say our final farewells at their Valedictory on 20 November at the Regal Theatre, and information has been distributed directly to families.

New canteen management

Our school and the P&C are pleased to let you know that Metro Canteens has been the successful candidate who will be taking over the operation of the canteen from the start of Term 4.  Metro Canteens has extensive experience running school canteens, and the selection panel feel they will be a good fit for the school community.

From the start of Term 4 the canteen will be using Flexischools for online ordering and cashless payments.  This means that you will be able to order and pay for items from our school without needing to pay cash or visit in person.

To create an account, you will need to download the app.  You can find instructions here. 

Flexischools is Australia's number 1 school ordering solution and operates in more than 2000 schools across Australia. Flexischools takes a market leading approach to information security, having received ISO 27001 certification for its information security management system, and has also successfully participated in the Safer Technologies 4 Schools (ST4S) process - a national standardised approach to evaluating digital products and services used by schools across Australia.

Free travel with a Student SmartRider

Students with a valid Student SmartRider can enjoy free travel on Transperth services for any journey from Monday to Friday, until the end of the 2025 school year.

To access free travel, students must tag on and tag off correctly with a SmartRider every time they use public transport. When travelling by bus, students need to tag on at the front door. They can tag off at any door when exiting.

Tagging on and off helps Transperth plan enough buses to get everyone to and from school safely and on time.

Further information can be found on the Transperth website.
