25.01.2022 Please disregard the text that went to all parents re: absences on Wednesday 31 March, regardless of whether their children were at school or had previously advised of an absence. This is a computer error and will be rectified. Apologies for any heart problems this message caused!! A new message will be sent to parents of any students who are currently marked as absent without a pre-recorded reason but PLEASE IGNORE IF THEY ARE ABSENT DUE TO COVID. We still have a duty of c...are to our students, and this is all part of the process. Thank you and once again, apologies for the confusion.

14.01.2022 WHY DO PARENTS STILL RECEIVE AN ABSENCE MESSAGE DURING A SITUATION SUCH AS A LOCKDOWN? Many of you may be wondering why absence messages are still sent through lockdown. In a lockdown situation, the school is open for children of essential workers and vulnerable children and rolls are marked daily to record the attendance of these students. However, we cannot assume that all other children are safe at home with their parents. Therefore, if you have not sent an SMS message a...dvising of your child's absence (even in a situation such as a lockdown), you will receive a text advising your child is absent. We hope you can appreciate that this is a process to help ensure the safety of your children and not one to cause disruption to parents. If you have any queries, please contact the school on tel: 3451 5333. Thank you.

14.01.2022 KPSS Community should be so proud today... The level of respect and spirit shown by all at the ANZAC service was palpable. Great Job! Thanks to all for your attendance, involvement or organisation. Thank you KP. Lest We Forget.
