25.01.2022 We have reached a grand total of $1040 and there is still time to buy tickets until Thursday (tomorrow) 4pm...we look forward to drawing prizes during our virtual assembly on Friday - thank you for the overwhelming support! https://www.rafflelink.com.au/kdps-raffle

21.01.2022 A simple question goes a long way!

20.01.2022 Enjoy the outdoors this week!

19.01.2022 We raised a grand total of $1,150...thankyou for your support (all winners have been notified, results published in the newsletter)

18.01.2022 Over the past 2 weeks the Green Team have collected rubbish from classrooms to get an idea of how much waste we are sending to landfill from our lunch boxes. On average we are bringing... 235 chip and bar packets 30 zip lock bags (that are not being reused), 65 plastic tubs (yogurt etc), ... 70 drink boxes 20 plastic spoons 20 squeezy yogurts 35 pieces of glad wrap 60 other bits and pieces of plastic waste. That’s a total of 535 single use plastics going to landfill just from our school, each week! We know we can do better than this! Next Wednesday we are holding a special Rubbish Free Lunch Day and ask that families think about purchasing and packing less or no waste in student lunches. Let’s all work together to reduce our waste!

18.01.2022 The students at KDPS had another great session of ‘kids teaching kids’. Our grade 5/6 leaders are doing a remarkable job to plan and teach different activities.

17.01.2022 Congratulations HoL team...what a great contribution to our community.

13.01.2022 The school holidays are nearly here again and these holidays the Koroit Library is offering an activity pack for you to pick up from the library. Just phone the library 55658230 during normal opening hours or leave a comment below to arrange the pick up of your pack. Enjoy!!

13.01.2022 One of the many ways our whole staff have stayed connected with our students and families is by sharing some uplifting movies and messages based on the theme for the week. This week is 'footy' colours week, so we thought we would get into the spirit and finish our remote learning journey by connecting with our school and wider community. Enjoy the game.

12.01.2022 We look forward to providing more detail in the very near future.

12.01.2022 There is no better way to end term 3 other than with a ‘footy’ colours day. We congratulate our whole school community on what has been another interesting term. The positivity and connectedness has been pivotal in supporting everyone - staff, parents, students and the wider community. Enjoy a well deserved break, see you all back at school in term 4

12.01.2022 Wet weather activity...happy holidays!

11.01.2022 Today HoL was all about the presentation of our picnic table to the Koroit CFA. After the presentation, some of the CFA volunteers showed us around the new station and most importantly, how to squirt the fire hose! We thank the Koroit and all CFA volunteers for all that they do for our community to keep us safe.

10.01.2022 All KDPS students will be watching and discussing this video clip during GROW. We encourage parents to also talk to your children about the feelings of all players and spectators during this game. We Choose Kind at KDPS!

10.01.2022 FILM LAUNCH Ngatanwarr: An Open Door We are so grateful to share this film! Ngatanwarr means welcome. We welcome you to join us in learning about the language ...and stories of the oldest living culture on earth. Of the Peek Whuurrong dialect of the Gunditjmara-Maar Nations, the lands on which our towns exist. Filmed this winter, along the coastline of Port Fairy, Ngatanwarr stars proud Peek Whuurrong Elders Uncle Rob Lowe Snr and Uncle Locky Eccles. Peek Whuurroung woman Mel Steffensen was co-producer with filmmaker Mitchell Withers. Together, they encourage us to be curious and proactive in learning about the true history of Maar Nation and the shared future that lies ahead. Thank you to the Uncles for sharing their experiences and teaching us language. For more information: www.portfairywinterweekends.com.au/open-door Everyone is invited to watch the 7-minute film and then take a small action by answering a simple question: 'Would you like to see more acknowledgement of Aboriginal culture with language signs in our area?' VISIT: www.portfairywinterweekends.com.au/open-door Thank you to Regional Arts Victoria for funding support to make the film. And to the amazing, gorgeous crew for their skill and creativity in bringing it to life: Director: Mitchell Withers Producers: Mel Steffensen, Sophia Power Walters, Mitchell Withers Cinematographer: Mitchell Withers Editor: Mitchell Withers Sound Designer: Tom Allum Drone Operator: Xavier Lane Colourist: Mitchell Withers
