FUTURE MAKING FOR EVERY STUDENT
Welcome to our KPS slide school tour 2020In the following photos and text we hope to give you some insights into Keysborough Primary School.
The tour takes the same format a walking tour would on site.
We start at the front of the school and walk to the Theatre, Art Room and the Gym / Hall before arriving at the Agora open play and gathering space.
The Theatre/Performing Arts
Our theatre space incorporating a stage area, retractable seating and a fully mirrored wall for dance rehearsals. Upstairs, we have a fully functional production and lighting room whilst out the back there are costumes and props for drama sessions and to facilitate whole school productions. All students access the performing arts program. Performing arts provide students with opportunities to express themselves as they build confidence in their individual performances.
The Gym / Hall
Our fully equipped gymnasium is beautifully maintained and offers our students the full range of sporting and fitness experiences.
Combined with our massive oval space, our students are immersed in a fully comprehensive Physical Education program conducted by a specialist teacher.
Assemblies are held in the hall every Friday afternoon and family and friends are encouraged to attend.
Student awards are announced and we are able to share those special moments with the entire school
The Art RoomOur Art room is bright and beautiful and well resourced. Our students learn in an environment that encourages and allows them to explore and express their imaginings.
The Arts specialist teacher supports students to experiment with all mediums in order to express themselves visually.
Our students demonstrate their learning through stunning and evocative pieces of individual artworks.
The AgoraA place to meet, play and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine.
Its also the space used for our End of Year Concert.
The Oval
Our oval is pristine and beautifully maintained. During the warmer months, most physical education classes revolve around athletics and the many sporting skills required to achieve success in each individual event.
School House Sports are a great day enjoyed by students, staff and the school community. Families gather for the day, bringing a picnic lunch with them, whilst the students compete against each other to earn points for their house teams. A great day is had by all.
Our Playgrounds
There are many playgrounds across the entire school site. All available to different levels of students.
Children also have two large sandpit play spaces to enjoy creative play.
Our classrooms
KPS classrooms are full of bright colours, engaging displays and the joyful sounds of students happily learning. Each room is equipped with the latest technology, a fully interactive white board and sets of iPads or Chromebooks.
Every learning space has its own library full of age appropriate reading, both fact and fiction and a quite space to enjoy silent reading.
