Dear Parents and Friends of St Kevin’s,

Winter is here and the weather is deliciously cool! Students are working hard in all lessons, and as I visit the rooms it is great to engage in conversations with the students about their learning. Year 2 are to be congratulated on their learning in geography and English, and in Kindergarten they are now able to share with me what they are learning in reading and writing and why they need to learn these skills. St Kevin’s is a fabulous learning community where everyone is trying their best to always learn something new …. including me!

Stay warm and enjoy the sunshine!

Winter Uniforms

We understand that the delay in winter uniform supplies has caused some anxiety and consternation, but we can only control what we can control, and supply chains are beyond our control. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. Children will not be in trouble if they are not in the correct winter uniform during these times.
