KINGSTON CAMPUS NEWS

PREP

In Prep, we have been focusing on 2D shapes. We went on a shape hunt around our school and made 2D shapes with natural materials. We explained what they are and what materials we used to make our shapes.

GRADE 4 LEADERSHIP DAY

Our Grade 4 Leadership day was a great success! We started by hearing from our wonderful Acting Principal, Mr Sandric, who talked about leaders being helpers in the world. Then we met our new Parish Associates, Hannah and Robert, who spent the day helping with activities and meeting with the Faith and Mission Leaders after lunch. Students then broke into three groups for leadership and team building activities. We all had fun trying to come up with a strategy to cross the crocodile infested waters using only rocks (hula hoops) and getting our team to safety. We also participated in team tug-o-war and "The dot game" which is a non-verbal team building game. Mr Groves and Ms Saxby prepared our wonderful BBQ lunch which was delicious and well earned after our hard work in the sun.
After lunch, all the Grade 4 leadership groups met with their lead teacher to discuss their roles and responsibilities for 2020. We finished up by hearing from Fr Chris about following the example of Jesus by being a servant leader. We want to thank everyone for giving their time to Grade 4 students and making the day a really worthwhile and fun day.

NORTH MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB VISIT

On Tuesday, 10th March players Jy Simpkin, Paul Ahern and Tristan Xerri from the North Melbourne Football Club spoke with the Grade 3 and 4 students as part of their Community Camp Program.  The students had the opportunity to ask the players football questions which ranged from how many goals have you kicked, why do you go in the ocean after a game to who is the funniest player on your team.  

KINGSTON CANTEEN GUIDELINES

We ask that you read through the following to ensure the smooth running of our canteen.

• Canteen is now open for over the counter sales at recess and lunch. We request that students visit just the once at either recess or lunch.

• Some students have been bringing large amounts of money and at times sharing this with their friends. Students can bring no more than a few dollars (e.g. maximum $1.00 for lollies plus chips or one icy pole etc.) Money is not to be shared.

• Please check that your child's details on Qkr! are correct (the ordering app). Some common errors - ordering through Huntingfield menu, not Kingston; incorrect class colour (Green, White or Blue); selecting the wrong day for ordering. Your child's classroom details can be checked on Compass - please note V on Compass refers to Green.

Thank you for your cooperation.
