CELEBRATING HARMONY DAY IN STYLE
What an incredible time we had at our Harmony Day Food Fair! The variety of delicious dishes from all corners of the globe was truly a feast for the senses. From savory treats to sweet delights, it was a beautiful reminder of the rich cultures and diversity that make up our community.
A huge thank you to all the families, staff, and volunteers who took part and shared their amazing dishes with us. Your contributions made this event so special!
KINDERGARTEN ‘COME AND PLAY’
On Thursday 6th March 2025, our Kindergarten class had their first ‘come and play’ parent morning session.
14 parents/families came along and did some fun activities with their kindergarten child. They made a parachute with a pipe cleaner person attached because the Kindergarten students were reading ‘Parachute’ by Danny Parker and Matt Otley in their Pre-lit lesson. They completed an ‘All about me’ information sheet, decorated the letter their name starts with and made a paper aeroplane. After the activities the parents/families watched their child participate in the Kindergarten matt session, as well as show their gross motor skills through yoga, an obstacle course and outside play.
It was a great turn out and everyone had lots of fun.
The next Kindergarten ‘come and play’ morning session will be held on Thursday 20th March in week 7, from 8:35-10:05. All Kindergarten parents/families are welcome.

WALK TO SCHOOL
On Friday, May 17, Kewdale had a blast celebrating Walk to School Day!
Walk Safely to School Day is all about rethinking our transportation habits and sneaking in more steps for a healthier, more active lifestyle. While walking the entire way to school might not be doable for everyone, there are plenty of fun and simple ways to add a walk to your family’s daily routine:
- Walk with your kids all the way to school.
- If they take the bus or train, walk past your usual stop and hop on at the next one.
- If driving is a must, park a few blocks away and stroll the rest of the way.
Getting regular exercise like walking to school not only keeps you and your child fit, but it also helps fend off chronic issues like obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. Plus, it’s a fantastic chance to teach your kids about road safety and smart behavior around traffic. So, lace up those sneakers and make walking a part of your day!
