Staff vs Students Volleyball Showdown!

A huge shoutout to our staff team who took to the court last week for the Staff vs Students Volleyball Game! While the scoreboard may have favoured the students, we know the real story.
The students certainly kept Staff on their toes, and although a few sore knees and aching backs may linger this week, the fun, laughter, and community spirit made it all worthwhile.

Well played, everyone!

This term, for our Theme Studies unit entitled ‘What a Waste’, Waka travelled to the EKKA!
Students embarked on a learning trail to explore a variety of agriculture and sustainability topics. Students had hands-on experiences when interacting with and feeding goats, sheep and more in the animal nursery, cradled baby chicks, did some cooking, tasted some sample delights in the Woolworths pavilion, watched some show dogs perform as well as much, much more. Students also learnt about sustainable farming practices, waste management in agriculture, and the importance of reducing food waste.

A Special Day of Cultural Exchange and Karate at Kimberley College

Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome members of the Suzuki family from Japan, along with karate instructors Vesa Pekkarinen and Shuichi Matsunawa, to Kimberley College.

Throughout the morning, students enjoyed a wonderful cultural exchange, with Tokihisa and Touka joining Japanese language classes and participating in learning activities alongside our students. It was a fantastic opportunity to build connections, practise language skills, and gain a deeper appreciation of Japanese culture.

A highlight of the day was the inspiring karate demonstration during assembly. Students watched with great respect and admiration as the visitors showcased the discipline, focus, and spirit that lies at the heart of karate.

Students from Gubbi and Waka, took part in a hands-on karate workshop, where they even had the opportunity to punch through calligraphy paper under the guidance of our visitors.

We thank our special guests for sharing their time, knowledge, and culture with our Kimberley College community. What a memorable experience for all involved!

Could your child benefit from a break from the digital world?

We proudly support the Kokoda Challenge each year because it helps fund life-changing programs like the Kokoda Youth Foundation's Digital Detox Program. ❤

This fully funded 8-day adventure camp is designed for young people aged 12–14 who may find it difficult to switch off from screens or who could benefit from building confidence, resilience, and real-world connections.

Participants will:
• Disconnect from technology and reconnect with themselves.
• Take on exciting outdoor adventures including high ropes, rock climbing and camping.
• Build confidence, resilience and leadership skills.
• Learn healthy technology habits and explore social media's impact.
• Create genuine friendships beyond the screen.

📅 Upcoming Camp:
27 September – 4 October 2026
📍 Kokoda Park, Thornton, QLD

Only a limited number of places remain for girls this year. If this intake fills before you're ready, it's well worth keeping this incredible opportunity in mind for next year's program.

Thank you to everyone who supports the Kokoda Challenge. Your fundraising helps make programs like this possible, giving young people the chance to grow in confidence, resilience and connection.

A fantastic two days of football last week at the 2026 Pacific Pines Invitational! ⚽👏

Congratulations to our students on their outstanding efforts, with our Year 9/10 Boys crowned Championship Division Champions and our Year 5/6 Boys finishing as Bronze Division Runners-Up. Competing against 47 teams from across the region, our players displayed great skill, teamwork, and sportsmanship throughout the tournament. We are incredibly proud of all students who represented Kimberley College with pride. Well done!

It was wonderful to attend the Japanese Speech Contest last Sunday and to support our talented students as they showcased their public speaking skills.

Five primary school and three middle school students proudly represented Kimberley College after dedicating many lunch breaks throughout Weeks 2 to 4 to preparing their speeches and practicing responding to questions. It was a pleasure to work alongside them and watch their confidence and skills grow.
We were delighted to see an increase in participation compared with last year, highlighting the enthusiasm our students have for developing their communication and leadership skills.

Congratulations to all of our participants for their hard work, courage and commitment. We are especially proud that several Kimberley College students received Highly Commended awards at this year's competition.
Well done to everyone involved on a fantastic achievement!
