Kangaroo Flat Primary School

On Thursday, 18 June, eight of our EAL New Arrival students attended an excursion to the Discovery Science and Technology Centre in Bendigo, organised by the Virtual New Arrival Program (VNAP).

Students enjoyed a lizard demonstration, explored interactive exhibits, visited the planetarium, and challenged themselves on the centre’s famous vertical slide. The excursion provided a fantastic opportunity for students to learn, have fun, and connect with other New Arrival students from across the Bendigo region.

Our Foundation students had a wonderful morning celebrating Milo’s birthday!

Students came dressed up and enjoyed a range of special treats inspired by Milo’s friends, including Leo Lion’s Lollies and other fun snacks. The celebration was filled with excitement, smiles, and having fun together.

It was a fantastic way to bring learning and celebration together, and the students thoroughly enjoyed being part of Milo’s special day.

Room 10 students had a great time making fresh orange juice with Raye in the canteen.

They enjoyed taking part in the process, from preparing the oranges to tasting the finished juice. It was a fun and engaging activity that gave students the opportunity to learn new skills and work together.

Our Year 1 and 2 students have been learning about Reconciliation Week 2026 and this year's theme, 'All In'.

Through class discussions and creative activities, students explored how everyone can play a part in building respectful relationships and supporting reconciliation. They worked together to create these thoughtful displays, reflecting their understanding that reconciliation is something we can all contribute to every day.

We are proud of their learning, creativity, and commitment to being 'All In'.

Our Foundation students explored how First Nations peoples share history and stories through oral storytelling and artwork.

After reading the Dreaming story Tiddalick the Frog, students discussed the important messages and lessons. Students then learnt about Aboriginal symbols used in artworks before creating their own family stories using symbols to represent important people and places.

It was wonderful to see students engaging so respectfully and creatively while developing an appreciation for the rich storytelling traditions of First Nations cultures.

Don’t forget!

Our Year 2 students proudly shared their learning about the digestive system at assembly.

Through their video presentation, students explained the journey food takes through the body and demonstrated a wonderful understanding of how our digestive system works.

Well done to all of our Year 2 students for the effort and creativity that went into this wonderful learning showcase!

What a wonderful morning celebrating our Grandparents and Special Friends!

It was fantastic to see so many families and special visitors spending time in our classrooms and sharing in the learning. Thank you to all the grandparents, family members, and friends who joined us and helped make the morning so memorable for our students and staff.

Our Book Fair has been a wonderful success, helping raise valuable funds to purchase more books for our school.

Throughout the week, students and families have enjoyed exploring the wide range of books on offer and sharing a love of reading together. Thank you to everyone who has supported the event so far.

The Book Fair will be open one final time after school today. We look forward to seeing you there!

Our Year 3 students created a special Mother’s Day video to celebrate the important people in their lives.

Students practised writing thoughtful messages about their mums using whiteboards while applying their learning about conjunctions to create compound and complex sentences. It was wonderful to see students combining their writing skills with kindness and creativity.

Happy Mother’s Day!
