Week 1 – 1st May 2019 Sharing Our News
Welcome back to Term 2. We trust you all had a wonderful Easter
break and your child is ready for an amazing term ahead.
Congratulations to our leaders who were superb in representing our
school at our local Singleton ANZAC Day service at Burdekin Park in
the holidays. It was great to see such a nice turn out of King Street
Public School students representing themselves, their families and
the school on the day. A huge thanks to our families and teachers
who took the time to support such an important day in Australia's
history.
Today, our school participated in our own ANZAC Day service in the
school hall. We were privileged to hear one of our ex-student leaders
Able Seaman Libby Pearce speak to our school about what ANZAC
means and the sacrifice many men and women went through so that
we can live in such a great country today. Able Seaman Libby
Pearce also visited the Kindergarten rooms for a Q&A session which
our students were very excited about.
Our Year 6 students took part in a Transition to High School day and
had the opportunity to meet with our new Education Minister The
Honourable Sarah Mitchell. Our students got a small taste of what
high school will be like and attended classes and visited various
areas throughout the school. We hope you all enjoyed your
experience!
Good luck to our Rugby League team who are heading off to
Waratah tomorrow to compete in the Knights Knockout competition.
A huge thanks to Mr Morrison for coaching the team and we look
forward to hearing about the day.
We would also like to wish all of our students who will be performing
as part of the KAOS evening next Wednesday night at Singleton
High School all the very best as they entertain the whole Singleton
Learning Community. The evening showcases the amazing talent of
our students and provides exposure for the different cultural
programs that are offered within our public schools.
Our monthly P&C Meeting will be held on Monday 6th May in the
school library from 6pm. It would be great to see many new faces
come and join our dynamic group of parents who support and create
wonderful opportunities for our students.

King Street is an Allergy Aware School
This is a reminder for all families that some of our
students have serious reactions to products
containing nuts and fish.
We ask that you please do not send foods or
containers to school that contain nut or fish
products.
This includes nutella and peanut butter spread.
Wellbeing of Students Valued
Please be aware that we have two immune-
suppressed students at our school.
If your child develops a contagious disease, please
let the school know ASAP so we can act
accordingly.
Showing Positive Behaviour for Learning
Do you need to Renew your Working With
Children Check?
In 2013, the NSW Government introduced the
Working With Children Check initiative to help keep
our children safe. As these checks are valid for 5
years, many Checks either have expired or are
about to do so.
We are asking all parents/carers that have a
Working With Children Check to please check it's
expiry date and renew if needed. Please pass this
information on to our school office.
Thank you for helping to keep our students safe.
Student Invoices
Towards the end of last term, we issued Student
Invoices out to all families. These invoices will show
fees payable such as the Voluntary School
Contribution ($40 per child) and payments owing for
the Stage 3 Excursion (STAGE 3 PLEASE NOTE -
The deposit of $50 is the only payment required at
this time).
The Voluntary Contribution helps us to provide
valuable resources for our students including
stationery, books etc.
If you have any questions regarding Student
Invoices, please do not hesitate to contact me via
the school office.
We thank you for your attention to these payments.

ANZAC March
It was fantastic to see so many of our students
marching along with the Singleton community to
commemorate ANZAC Day 2019.
Thank you for using your KSPS values during the
service.
KSPS ANZAC School Service
Abel Seaman Libby Pearce who is a former student
and school leader of KSPS joined us for our service
today. She addressed the assembly on the history of
the Navy snd the role she currently performs.
Libby is the daughter of SLSO Mrs Baily and sister
to Erin and Claire. It was wonderful to welcome 4
generations of Libby’s family to our service.
Thank you to all the families who attended our
service.
Lest we Forget.
Horse Sports
Parents who are interested in their children doing
Horse Sports please contact the office this week.
Students will need their own horse, equipment
and transport to participate.
Information packs will be made available to parents
from our front office.

Have You Packed a School Jumper?
As the cold weather approaches, we ask all
parents/carers to please check with their children
each day that they have packed a school jumper.
We have a supply at the office for those that forget
and are happy to lend these out for the day,
however, we have an increasing number that are not
being returned. If your child accidently brings home
a jumper that belongs in the office, we ask that you
return it the next day so our supply does not
disappear.
A reminder also that students not wearing an
appropriate school coloured jumper will be asked to
remove it and exchange it for one from the office. It
is very important that students show they are
PROUD of their school by wearing their school
uniform. Brand new school jumpers are available in
the uniform shop for $30, they also have a supply of
second hand jumpers that can be purchased for $2.
Finally, please ensure that all jumpers are
labelled. Each year we wash jumpers worth
hundreds of dollars from lost property that have no
name in them. If clothing is labelled and found, we
are easily able to return it to its rightful owner.
Thank you for your support.
Canteen
Our school canteen will be closed for recess on next
Monday 6th May due to personal reasons.
It will be open at lunch as usual.
Thank you for understanding.

UNIVERSITY OF NSW 2019
International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS)
Each year King Street Public School offers our students the opportunity to participate in the UNSW
International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS).
Students from Year 3-6 have the opportunity to enter Digital Technologies, Science, Writing, Spelling Bee,
English and Mathematics. This year all assessments will be conducted online.
Regardless of students’ results, they have a wonderful opportunity to experience and master the skills of
external testing. Sometimes students can have the knowledge but not the confidence when they are put
into this sort of environment. As there is more external testing happening right across our educational
system, it makes sense to offer them this opportunity if we can.
All students receive a certificate and an individual report.
Please return the attached form for each child to the school office with payment.
