Kaya Parents and Carers

What a few weeks we have had! Colour Blast, Pre-primary Carnival, student leadership elections, early childhood orientation and transition, World Teachers Day (P&C) and the brilliant Massed Choir Festival. A huge thank you to Jem, Thu and all the P&C volunteers, our early childhood leaders Helen T and Victoria B, Martin S and our Year 5 and 6 teachers, Peter G, Carys E (our superstar compere) and the staff who attended the Massed Choir Festival last Friday evening.

We are fast approaching the end of the year and staff are finalising their carefully considered allocation of achievement grades in all areas and had been calling into my office to share stories of the incredible progress students have made this year. Yesterday I was surrounded by a group of beaming Year 2 students sharing their writing and I was astounded at the rich vocabulary, risk taking with advanced sentence structure and their use of literary devices to build excitement in each sentence. This is a wonderful time of year where for many of our students, particularly in early childhood , things fall into place and they accelerate beyond expectations. An exciting time of year for staff, but more importantly a time when our students feel so proud of the mastery they have achieved in many small ways, each and every day.
