Dear Kenmore families,

The past fortnight has been full of rich learning experiences for our students. Our STEM excursions have provided hands-on opportunities to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in action. These excursions form part of our ongoing community partnerships and continue to spark curiosity, encourage problem-solving, and strengthen student engagement with the Australian Curriculum.

Book Week

Last Friday, we celebrated Book Week with great joy and colour. The parade was a highlight - our students looked amazing dressed as their favourite characters. We were also fortunate to welcome a number of illustrators and authors who inspired our students with their creativity and stories. This year’s theme, Book an Adventure, truly came alive across the school, reminding us of the joy and wonder books bring into our lives. A big thank you to Mrs H and Mrs Caskie for making it happen!

School Opinion Survey

Thank you to all parents, caregivers, students, and staff who completed the School Opinion Survey this year. Your feedback is invaluable and shows the strong support for our school community. Results will be available later in the year and shared through our Annual Report on the school website. 

Student-Free & Staff Development Day

Please note that Friday 5th September is a Student-Free Day for all students. Staff will be engaged in professional learning on this day. Our Teacher-Aides will participate in a Wellbeing Conference in the city. Teachers will be working through the new version of the Australian Curriculum and engaging in Mathematical Modelling workshops, as well as completing Parent-Teacher interviews. 

Parent-Teacher Interviews

Parent-Teacher interviews commence next week:

• Tuesday 2nd September: 3.15 – 4.15pm (Education Queensland International Students only)
• Thursday 4th September: 3.30 – 6.00pm
