Dear Kenmore Families,

Welcome to Term 2. It’s wonderful to welcome our school community back for the new term. A special welcome to the new families who have joined our community. We commence Term 2 with 530 students, and we look forward to the learning, growth, and connection that lies ahead.

Community Connections: ANZAC Day

This year marks 110 years since the Gallipoli landings, a significant milestone in our nation’s history. This week, our school community came together to honour the bravery and sacrifice of those who have served and continue to serve in conflict and peacekeeping missions around the world.

Through our commemorative events, we paid tribute not only to their courage, but also to the enduring values of respect, resilience, and unity. These moments help our students understand the importance of remembrance and the legacy of peace and service that shapes our national identity.

Thank you to the staff, students, and families who participated in our school service and we welcome you to join us at the ANZAC Day community event tomorrow (details below).

Your involvement helps make these events deeply meaningful for us all.

Religious Instruction

Religious Instruction begins this term for students in Year 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 (Year 5 will commence in Term 3). Participation in RI is not compulsory. Any student (except Prep students) may participate in RI if a parent has provided permission at enrolment.

Students who are not participating in RI will be provided with other instruction in a separate supervised location.

Please see the e-brochure at this link:

Further information can be found on the school website at this link (or look under the ‘Extra-Curricular’ tab on the school website).

This year the Christian RI Team will provide the program on behalf of local churches. They will provide a 30-minute lesson teaching students from years 1-6 about the basic beliefs of the Christian faith from a non-denominational perspective. Lessons typically include a Bible story, and activities such as games and music and (optional) prayer that reinforce the values taught.

Please contact the office if you are unsure about your child’s participation.
