Well done Preps!
Well done to all of the Preps for their outstanding performance of Baby Elephant Walk at Whole School Assembly. It can be so nerve racking to stand up and perform in front of the whole school, and they did a fantastic job overcoming those nerves and giving such a confident performance. They all showed such great dedication in learning their parts, and I’m very proud of their efforts! -Mrs Emery
WANTED … Mrs Heeley is holding a lunchtime activity in Term 4 and would appreciate any dona-tions of balls of wool or bubble wands for bubble blowing. Anyone wishing to donate any of these items can leave them in the tub outside Room 5 (in the hallway). Many thanks, Mrs Heeley

KPG News KP-TV Channel (in – house)
We are looking to introduce an in- house TV channel for the children to produce items and deliver them to the school and community. We would also like to aim for this to be uploaded to our Facebook and website to promote what we do at Kingsley Park. In conjunction with Matt Brand, the KPG are currently getting quotes as the specialized equipment can be quite expensive, however we are looking to re – purpose equipment we have here at the school. If anyone has any connection with Tech companies, please let us know. Money raised from our upcoming Parent Night will go towards purchasing the equipment we need. If you would like to see a TV Channel in action check out the Coral Park Primary School Facebook page.

Camp was spectacular!! My favourite activity was the giant swing because it
made my heart race. Maddy My favourite thing at camp was going to the top of the giant swing. Pulling the
rope was hard and when it let go my heart beat really fast and I was scared.
The commando course was tricky and scary but a lot of fun. The most challenging
part was when you had to drag yourself on the pole across water. Jaxon
Camp was fun and exciting. The giant swing and leap of faith were
scary. The commando course was a great experience. The giant swing was fun to watch because of
people’s scared faces. Aseri and Riley
Camp was a great experience because we had so many fun activities to do and we were always busy doing things.
We had a movie night and we watched Finding Dory. Some people got wet when they did hut building because their huts had holes and when the teachers/parents threw
buckets of water it got through. By Holly, Emma and Cate
This fortnight’s focus is
Organisation: I can be organised for everyday tasks
and challenges.
Organisation means having everything you need to complete tasks and knowing what you are working
towards.
Kingsley Park will be introducing a new mentoring program called Kids Hope, which will assist in the wellbeing of our school where children will be selected to receive a mentor who will come into the school and spend an hour each week with them. We will be partnering with a local church in our community who will provide thoroughly screened and trained mentors to work one-on-one with a child they are matched with. There will be no religious affiliation with the mentoring. We are looking forward to partnering with Kids Hope in the near future. For more information, please speak to our school
welfare staff or go to: http://www.kidshopeaus.org.au
