This term we had a trip to Canberra to visit Parliament House and meet our Local Member.

Students who could not attend the school camp went to Hurstville for a Multicultural Day. They learned to weave Indigenous bracelets, made a smoothie with a bike and learned about different community organisations in the area.

Class 6S had the opportunity to participate in the ABCN program where students were mentored by employees from Macquarie Bank and Hall & Wilcox Law Firm. It was a great experience to develop their confidence, speaking skills and future ambitions.

Over 40 International Students from KIEC and KHS came together for a morning tea to hear from DEI student ambassadors about their experience of being an International Student in school. Students asked questions and gained valuable advice about high school and university.

On Wednesday 29th October, classes 3J, 4J and 5J enjoyed a memorable excursion to see the exhibition Sculptures by the Sea at Bondi Beach. Everyone had a great day appreciating the many incredible sculptures along the coastline.

All students visited the local Kogarah Library in Week 4 to orient them to what books and resources they could use when not at school.

Students in 6S visited the NSW State Library and the ANZAC Memorial in Hyde Park  on  the 11th of November as part of their History studies

A group of students attended the High School Career's Day at Rydges in Parramatta.  It was a great day learning about the careers available for their future.

Bush Care was an excursion organised by Bayside Council. Students had the opportunity to learn about Australian plants and weeds. Using team work they worked hard to identify and remove weeds. In doing so, they helped improve the condition of the bushland at Sir Joseph Banks Park. Although it was challenging, it was a  fun and rewarding experience!

The Annual High Tea is a community event that brings together parents, staff and members of the community to raise awareness of local organisations that can support students and their families. The theme for this year was 'United in Diversity'. Two of our students performed and showcased their talents for everyone to enjoy.

Last Wednesday 10th of December KIEC students went on an excursion to visit Arncliffe Youth Centre. Classes 3J, 4J and 4S participated in various sports, games and social activities. Students can visit the centre in the school holidays for more information visit the centre's website: baysideyouthservices.eventbrite.com 

Students from 5J were invited to the Kogarah Community Service's Christmas Party. They enjoyed lunch, had their arms painted and met Santa. Most importantly they were very well behaved as they interacted with senior members of the local community.

During Term 4, our students enjoyed an exciting adventure at The Tops Camp in Stanwell Tops.

At camp, students took part in a range of thrilling outdoor activities that challenged their fears and tested their coordination skills. Highlights included archery, bubble soccer, the high swing, abseiling and navigating a high ropes obstacle course. It was a memorable experience filled with fun, teamwork, and personal growth for everyone involved! 

Students from Kogarah IEC showed great determination and sportsmanship in their recent matches against Marrickville IEC and Beverly Hills IEC. The Mixed Girls’, Junior Boys’, and Senior Boys’ teams all participated with enthusiasm and represented our school proudly. Although our teams unfortunately did not come away with a win, we congratulate Marrickville IEC for their strong performance and excellent play on the day.

KIEC had a picnic day out at Gunnamatta Park. The tall gum trees provided shade and students spent time playing, dancing and eating with their friends. A great way to end the year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! 

Congratulations and farewell to our graduating students. We wish you all the very best for your onward journey in your new schools. We will miss you. Thank you for the wonderful memories.
