22.01.2022 It's Footy Colors Day. Beautiful sunshine. Perfect day for a Covid safe footy parade.

22.01.2022 As part of our Grade 4/5/6 remote learning our children were asked to write letters to a community service to thank them for how they help us. Jack wrote to the Kinglake Police and as well as a tour of the station, received this letter back.

21.01.2022 COVID-19 UPDATES to School Regulations: As of Tuesday 1st December: If required, parents are permitted to enter school grounds as long as masks are worn and social distancing measures are put into place.

Please enter through the office and sign in on entry. There will be no need to have different dismissal times. ALL students will be dismissed at 3.30pm as of Tuesday 1st December. Students will now be able to use the drinking taps (they will be cleaned daily!)

20.01.2022 Prep orientation for children starting Prep in 2021 has begun. Please contact the school for session dates and times on 57865262.

18.01.2022 We are looking forward to having our Prep, 1's and 2's back today. It's a crisp clear morning, the sun is shining and we have balloons. Yeah!

18.01.2022 THURSDAY WELLNESS CHALLENGE Each week during Remote Learning we are holding Wellness Challenge Thursday. Last weeks challenge was: As a family create either a Castle or a Palace out of any materials that you can find. It can have a drawbridge, tower, entry, windows, battlements and can be made from boxes, blocks, paper, Lego, kitchen items or anything else. Have fun... Here are some of our great family creations.

17.01.2022 Our grade 6 jumpers are in and on! 33 degrees is no match for these jumpers. They look great.

17.01.2022 Enjoy the Easter break everyone. See you after the school holidays.

17.01.2022 We had a wonderful Christmas Craft Day on Friday.

16.01.2022 Each Friday afternoon we enjoy a variety of house sports. Our House captains set up and run each activity. Last Friday the Possums won with over 200 points.

16.01.2022 We held our annual family sports and badge presentation night last night. Congratulations to our school captains, vice captains and house captains. We had lovely weather, great company and fun and games. Thank you to everyone who came along.

16.01.2022 WOW we have some master chefs at Kinglake West Primary School. Check these photos out.... Thursday Family Challenge from 3rd September. This week’s challenge will, hopefully, provide an opportunity for some family bonding and excitement but will also provide a tasty family treat. Today the children of the house are to create a cake or slice for the family to enjoy. It can be made from scratch, be a packet mix or an old family recipe (you can Google some great recipes). The ...cake can have parental advice and you can explain what has to be done but unless it is dangerous (cutting up something, using an electric mixer or removing a cake from the oven) it must be made by the children with no adult physical assistance. The children need to do the measuring, crack the eggs, pour the mixture in the pan. Once the cake or slice is cooked it needs to be decorated in an interesting way, photographed for the Facebook or put on Seesaw (I don’t get to see them on Seesaw) and then enjoyed by the family. Have fun with the challenge and enjoy the product! See more

04.01.2022 Going into lockdown on the 99th day of school would have led to some very disappointed Preps who were so excited about the 100 Day party. The party happened a day early and everyone was so excited! Just look at all those smiles.

04.01.2022 Today students across the state who are transitioning to Year 7 in 2021 will take part in their first orientation day. We hope all of our students have a great day and enjoy this next step in their education.

04.01.2022 At Kinglake West PS we normally love showing families around our school and talking about what is so special about our school and our children. This year, due to covid restrictions, we have not been able to do this so our school captains and vice captains thought they would give you a tour and show off what they love about our school. Hope you enjoy it!

04.01.2022 Here is our FAMILY CHALLENGE THURSDAY from last week and some of the great creations.... Measure out a square that has sides 2 metres by 2 metres. This can be done inside or outside but there are different rules depending on where you are. Inside the 2 metre by 2 metre square you are to create a picture of all of the people who worked on this project. Inside the house picture... If you create the picture inside it must be made using materials that are usually found inside a house. Suggestions here would be Cans from the cupboard fruit spaghetti cake mixes and other boxes chairs teddies clothing pillows cushions remote controls CD’s mugs plates cutlery and cooking utensils blankets Outside the house picture If you create the picture outside of the house it must be made using materials that are usually found outside a house. Suggestions here would be sticks a scratch in the dirt stones Grass A hose Garden statues Leaves Tools from a shed Dog bowls Bark Firewood Paint cans Pine needles Pot plants Pets (good luck making them stay still!) There are so many things you can try but they must come from inside or outside the house, no mixing them! Once you have created your picture you need to take a photo and then upload it to Seesaw, Facebook or your class email address. It can be whole body, portrait or anything in between. We had some amazing creations last week and some of the castles/palaces/forts were brilliant. Let’s see some really creative ones this week. Remember they must fit inside and fill a 2 metre by 2 metre square!

03.01.2022 We are very proud to have our students work complimented in this post.

Prep/1 students will go straight to their classrooms for the first few weeks. Please bring your school hat and wear full school uniform. Students are welcome to bring a drink bottle though the bubble drink taps are in use again. The school will continue to receive a deep clean at the end of each day. We look forward to seeing you all again tomorrow.
