Dear Parents and Carers
We have finally made it to the end of the 2020 school year and I
must say we have ended with
a bang!!! After having few events throughout Terms 2 and 3 we
have certainly made up for that
in Term 4. Term 4 has been jam packed with activities to suit
all students. We have had a very
successful Athletics Carnival, the annual learn to swim program,
Tiger Day, NAIDOC Week, the
Rising Stars Program and our traditional STAR reward days.
Presentation Day – Congratulations to all students who received
awards at our recent
ceremony. Although the format was different to previous years
the enthusiasm from our
winners didn’t change. As I said on the day, I am very proud of
all KVPS students as they have
worked hard in 2020 and done the best they could do and that is
all we are asking for. Special
congratulations to our newly appointed leadership team for 2021.
School Captains Indi and
Riley, Vice Captains Lyla and Caleb and ministers Jazmin,
Madelyn, Jackson, Kade, Zailee,
Danyon, Jessica and Jake - I know your parents are very excited
for you and the staff is looking
forward to working with you in 2021.
Farewell Year 6 - This last week we farewell our fabulous Year 6
students with a number of
memorable events, and I must say that Thursday was the best day
for Year 6 I have ever been
involved in. It started in the morning with the Graduation
assembly, then the virtual disco and
finally the dinner and trivia night. I have never seen all
children engaged in every event as they
were on Thursday. It was absolute credit to Mrs Kable and her
team of hard working teachers
and parent volunteers; it was truly a spectacular day for all.
Thank you to all who were involved
in any way!
2020 Leadership team – I would like to congratulate the current
School Leadership team. Ty,
Elise, Isaac, Lara, Jayden, Bree, Astara, Leila, Brydon,
Monique, Piper and Jake, together in a
very difficult year, you have served your school to the highest
of standards. You adjusted to the
restrictions that were in place and showed resilience beyond
your years. Your support and
ability to adapt and lead the way was valued by me and all
staff. Thank you!

Term 1 COVID plans - We are anticipating some minor changes to
the current COVID
guidelines for Term 1 next year and will keep you updated as the
guidelines change. The current
drop-off and pick-up arrangements will stay in place for Term 1
for most students. When students
return on Friday 29th January they can be dropped at the gate as
they have been this year. Staff
will be present to help students transition back to school. When
the morning bell goes they will
meet in their department assembly areas from 2020; classes K- 2
in the Infant cola area and
Years 3 - 5 in the Primary assembly area. Students will return
to their 2020 class whilst we check
our numbers. At pick up time students will meet at their normal
meeting place. Please ensure
your child knows their routine for pick up. Canteen, uniform
shop and P&C volunteers will
continue to be onsite in Term 1. Other classroom volunteers will
start in Term 2 after a revised
induction which incorporates COVID guidelines.
Just a reminder, 2021 Kindergarten students first day of school
will be Wednesday 3rd February.
Finally I would like to say farewell to our Year 6 families and
other families who are moving out of
the area. I thank you for the contributions you have made to
KVPS during your time with us and I
wish you the best of luck in your new schools. Thank you all for
an amazing year. I wish a safe
and restful holiday filled with lots of love and laughter. I
look forward to seeing you in the New
Year.
Best wishes,
Jeanette Dillon
