Prep first full week of school After having a mid week rest for the month of February our prep students had their first full week of school for the year. If your child has any difficulties adjusting to a full week of school, please contact their classroom teacher.
It’s hard to believe we are already six weeks into the new school year. Staff and students are busy but there is a wonderful happy vibe across the Primary Campus; of course having such good kids makes our job so much easier. We are also fortunate to enjoy the continual support of our parent community.
Please don’t hesitate to come and see me or make a time to meet with any of our staff to discuss any concerns, issues or ideas you have. Kyabram P-12 College is your school and we are here to do our best for the education of our/your children.
Lawn Bowls 12 students ranging from Grade 2 to Grade 6 competed at Moama on Thursday 28th February. All students did a wonderful job of representing our College with pride. Thank you to Mrs Mangan for her organisation and to Ms Parkinson and Jemma for taking us over.

Harmony Day Volunteers
On March 22nd the College will be celebrating Harmony Day. We are looking for families to showcase their cultural experience and knowledge (cooking, dances, demonstrations, artefacts). Please contact the office if this is something you could help with.
100% Attendance in February 235 students came to school everyday in February. These students will receive a certificate, a freddo frog, an icy pole and an extra long lunchtime one afternoon.
Religious Instruction We no longer offer Special Religious Instruction (SRI) during class
time. We will be offering a 30 minute class one day per week
during lunchtime. This program will be run by volunteer instructors
from our community for our Prep – Year 6 students and will
commence on Thursday 14th March. If you would like your child to
take part in this program please collect a form from the Primary
Office.
Schools Clean Up Australia Day It was great to see our students out in the community and in the school grounds keeping our environment clean and tidy last Friday as part of the ‘Schools clean up Australia Day’.
Fountas and Pinnell – (BAS – Benchmarking Assessment System)
In 2019 the Primary Campus have begun an exciting new reading journey using The Fountas and
Pinnell resource. A benchmark assessment is a series of texts that can be used to
identify a student's current reading level. This new system is used to evaluate
student reading and comprehension ability and replaces our current systems—PM
Benchmarks and Lexile. This program is being introduced in Prep to Year 6 but is
aimed up to Year 8 level, enabling a consistent approach across our College. Once students have
completed the reading tests the classroom teacher can use the resource to target their teaching
at the needs of students in the class.

Primary level Music Lessons Sue Meeking
Most of our instrumental music lessons are under way. Please contact Sue Meeking at school if you have any concerns or your child has not started lessons where expected or you still want to participate. There are waiting lists for some instruments but there is room for a few more students in the Grade 5/6 free lessons in brass e.g. trumpet, trombone or woodwind e.g. flute. We also have places in the Grade 3/4 free beginner violin lessons for semester two.
A detailed music choices notice goes to all Primary students of Grade 1 to Grade 5 in December each year so that families can hand in an expression of interest for the following year. Lessons are tailored to suit certain age groups due to the system we have in our College.
Costume Care Sue Meeking The costumes we have collected in the Performing Arts room get a good work out each year. Some need a wash, some need mending. If you are willing to lend a hand please email Sue Meeking at [email protected] It would be great to have some help to have everything in good shape for the P- 2 Concert in term three (Sept 18th at the Plaza).
Swimming Sports
Congratulations to the eight students who represented our College at the
Echuca pool on Friday 22nd February. As you can see we had many place
getters! Thanks again to Mrs Mangan for organising this opportunity.
