25.01.2022 Band Practice It's a thrill hearing the school’s senior band practicing under our expert and passionate conductor, Anne Wheat. They sound in fine form as they get set to perform during our inaugural Music Week next term.

24.01.2022 Our world is becoming increasingly interconnected and we recognise the benefits of learning languages at KCS. As part of Languages Week last week, students enjoyed a number of activities designed to encourage curiosity about different cultures and languages.

24.01.2022 Our Year 5 students discovered a fun way to apply their knowledge of maths, factors and multiples. A factor is a number that divides into another number exactly. The children had a fabulous time making Factor Bugs with googly eyes. They stuck their number onto the body and the factors onto the legs of their bugs.

24.01.2022 Last week our Year 4 students took part in an online incursion run by the State Library of WA via Zoom. Author Trina Saffioti spoke to students about her book "Stolen Girl". The workshop taught students how to write historical narratives, which they will be working on next term.

24.01.2022 Our students love playing outdoors on beautiful days like today! Theyve made a number of forts, cubbies, shelters and bases around the school grounds, using whatever natural materials they can find. The hills lifestyle is just awesome here at KCS!

23.01.2022 Our students in Year 4 showcased their knowledge of science by presenting experiments to the class. The children used scientific terminology to explain why the hypotheses for their experiments could be proved correct. It was thoroughly intriguing for everyone.

23.01.2022 The sun is shining. Its been another great week of learning at KCS and we love seeing our classrooms full of happy and engaged students!

22.01.2022 As part of their ‘Under the Sea’ theme this term, the Year 2s had to design and create a diorama in Design and Technology that depicted an under the sea scene. What a wonderful job they have done!

22.01.2022 What a beautiful Year 2 Assembly we had last week. The students loved showing their parents all the work they did throughout the year.

22.01.2022 We are excited to be launching our first school debating program next term for Year 5 and 6 students!

22.01.2022 Our Endeavour Clubs are back! These clubs give students opportunities to learn new skills and expand their interests while having fun. Activities include multisports, workshop band, creative card making, science, cooking, STEAM, D & T, craft and drama.

20.01.2022 The Year 5 HASS theme for Term 2 is History Comes Alive. As a part of this, the Year 5s combined learning how to write an informal letter, with the information they are learning about child convicts and the early settlement of Australia. The students pretended to be a child convict that had been brought to Australia on a ship, and wrote a letter home to England to tell their parents what it was like. The students wrote superb letters and their eloquence and imagination were a joy to read. To make the letters look a little more authentic, they printed them onto yellow paper in an old-fashioned font and used wax seals and ribbon to make them look old. The students were very happy with the results.

19.01.2022 Its hard to believe that its been six months since our last assembly. What an unusual year! Today it was awesome to see our Year 5 students finally get the chance to host an assembly combined with a celebration of languages.

19.01.2022 What a big assembly this morning! The Year 5s shared what they got up to on camp, we celebrated World Down Syndrome Day by wearing crazy and colourful socks, and announced the winners of the House Cup! Well done Slessor!

18.01.2022 Congratulations to our athletics champions and runner-up champions for 2020! The students who had the highest number of points from the combined athletics sprints, long jumps and throw events received their awards today. Well done everyone!

18.01.2022 Our Year 4 students participated in Night of the Notables last night. The students researched various notable characters and took on the persona of that notable for the evening. They wowed the audience with their knowledge of the notable during their speeches and then showcased their learning in their fabulous displays.

03.01.2022 Jackson Pollock was a revolutionary artist, famous for painting out of his emotions instead of just illustrating.
