Celebrations

We are back! 

It was fantastic to see the excitement of our Grade 7 students on Tuesday. It was a full-on day as many of our Grade 7’s have spent more time in isolation or quarantine than spent at KMHS! However, we are so grateful that we can recommence face-to-face learning with some hygiene and physical distancing modifications. 

We would like you to take this opportunity to give a huge ‘shout out’ to our Grade 7 parents and carers who have supported our students' learning at home over the past 6-10 weeks. Thank you, we understand that it hasn’t always been easy, but we thank you for your patience and support of our young learners.

Also we would like to thank and acknowledge the essential workers who have been on the front line of the pandemic, without you and your hard work we would not be able to return to face-to-face learning. Thank you for everything that you do, we appreciate your contributions immensely. 

Our Grade 7 students; your year has been a blur so far, many of you have spent more time at home than at school, but you have handled yourselves with maturity and resilience. Thank you for engaging so well online, taking responsibility for your learning and scheduling at home. We hope that this experience has taught you to be independent learners, to problem solve, find solutions, to not be afraid to reach out for support when you need it and know that there are so many people who care about you, your development and learning. We hope you never take coming to school face-to-face for granted and appreciate the time you get to spend with your friends, peers and teachers in this wonderful environment. 

Lastly our fabulous Grade 7 team who have worked so hard over the past 6 plus weeks to upload, provide feedback, have extra tutorials, make phone calls home and go above and beyond to provide online pastoral care to our Grade 7 students. This has certainly been a learning curve for us all, however you have dealt with every obstacle that has been thrown at you with grace, confidence and tenacity. Thank you for the amazing work you have done to support our students. 

Grade Focus

As the winter months are upon us we are focusing on ensuring our Grade 7’s are in full school uniform. As part of our winter uniform, students are allowed to wear a winter skirt with navy stockings and a blue shirt in addition to this grey trousers or shorts may also be worn. Students are encouraged to wear their spray jackets, woollen or rugby jumpers in order to keep warm. It should be noted that beanies and hoodies are not part of our school uniform and are not to be worn to school. Students are able to layer for example singlets underneath their uniform as extra layers, however these should not be visible from the outside. 

Below is an image of two students in our Grade who have displayed our school uniform with pride wearing the correct winter uniform ready to commence their learning.
