ST KEVIN'S SCHOOL RULES Be Safe Be Responsible Be Respectful
Principal's Message
Dear Parents & Friends,
It has been a great start to Term 3 with so much happening both in and out of classrooms. Whilst our children's formal learning takes place in class a great deal of other important skills are gained in the playground as our children experiment, create and explore. It is so rewarding to see the initiative and imagination our children have and how this can lead to the development of great social and problem solving skills. Of course at times we as adults need to be on hand to ensure that the safety and well being of each child is maintained.
Parish Education Board
On Wednesday evening our Parish Education Board met to discuss many important issues facing our school. As we know the enrolment of new families is our biggest challenge and something we are constantly working hard to improve. As a board our main focus has been on maintaining our current student numbers and of course increasing enrolments in prep and in other year levels. I understand that with the closing of St Aloysius Catholic primary school recently and PCW secondary girls college there would be some raised concerns about our own school. As communicated last year, St Kevin's is guaranteed to be open in 2020 and we will continue to work towards re-establishing our school in the community. I greatly appreciate each families commitment to St Kevin's and do understand your concerns. With this in mind it may be timely to gather as a community to hear concerns, reassure families, and to share ideas. I will inform you all soon, regarding a suitable evening in the coming weeks.

Our Out of Hours School Care fundraiser was a big success thanks to the committee and all the volunteers who helped out during the day. Thanks to everyone who donated cakes for the cake stall which added greatly to the effort.
