25.01.2022 Apparently we got a bit of rain last night! What do we do when one of our drains gets a little more than it can handle, and it becomes a swimming pool in one of our line up areas? Not to worry, here at KPS we are problem solvers With a bit of creativity our drain is back in business! #KilsythPS #PuddleTown #MelbourneWeather #PrincipalOrPlumber #YouDecide

24.01.2022 Our Foundies have been working on subtraction this week! We hear that practising subtraction is always better when it involves squishing balls of play-doh #KilsythPS #Foundation #Playdoh #Subtraction #Squish #Squash

24.01.2022 It has been so exciting seeing our F-2 families returning! We cant wait to see our 3-6 families too!

23.01.2022 Shout out from Mrs Bertrand, who has this to share: How is your art wall coming along? Find a good space in your home such as a blank wall or the back of a door to start adding your artworks to. This is a great way to display all of your pieces and be proud of what you have achieved throughout the year. This is my art wall in my office. I try to add a new piece each week! What a great idea! #KilsythPS #ArtWall #Artists #Masterpieces #UpgradeFromTheFridge
