Kensington Secondary School

Celebrating real-world learning in action! 🌟
A huge shoutout to our incredible Catering students who, alongside Mrs Holmes, are delivering outstanding service at our family and caregiver events. Your professionalism, teamwork and pride in your work truly showcase skills that go well beyond the classroom 👏💚
We also celebrate Mr Reksmiss – our PE king 👑 – on his nomination as a WA Footy Inclusion Ambassador. Your passion for inclusion and commitment to every one of our students is inspiring.
This is what life beyond school skills looks like at its best – connection, opportunity and community. Well done everyone! 💙

Week 8: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work 💫
Our students are shining when it comes to teamwork this week!
From working together to enjoy our new nest swing, to teaming up in the kitchen to keep our staff well-fed with delicious biccies and cake 🍪🎂—it’s wonderful to see collaboration, kindness and shared effort in action.
When we work together, amazing things happen! 👏💛

✨ Week 7 Wins!

Celebrating the moments that matter 💙
From baking in the kitchen 🍪, to working hard (and taking those well-earned breaks 😄), to soaking up the sunshine ☀️—our students continue to shine every day.
A huge highlight—being presented with the shield after taking out the Cricket Kalability Carnival last term! 🏏🏆 What an incredible achievement!

And of course… plenty of joy on our new basket swing 🛝💫
Here’s to noticing, celebrating, and cherishing every moment—because they all count 🌟

All staff will be offsite Tuesday, participating in Professional Learning.
We will see everyone back at school Wednesday morning 😀😊

Such a thoughtful surprise from our students this week!

They catered a special snack for staff, going above and beyond to ensure every option was inclusive and considered everyone’s needs. 💙
A beautiful reminder that inclusion matters—and our students are leading the way. 👏

First week of Breaky Club in our brand-new café = ✅ buzz, ✅ smiles, ✅ full bellies ☕✨
Also… accidental Pet Week 🐾 �After some stealth work, our resident under-the-building kitten, “Kenso” has been safely coaxed out & now off to Cat Haven (thanks Mr Fox!) 💛
Meanwhile: �🐶 Ms Sannie brought in her pup to meet the staff �🐕 Tom made café dog friends of his own
Coincidence? We think not 😄
A week of community, connection… and a whole lot of cuteness.

🌸 Mother’s Day High Tea Celebration 🌸
We loved celebrating our annual Mother’s Day High Tea with our wonderful community. It was so special to come together to acknowledge and appreciate all the mums and mum figures who play such an important role in our students’ lives. 💕

Wishing everyone a relaxing and enjoyable weekend! 🌷✨

💸 The Cook Labor Government is delivering more cost-of-living relief for WA families — with a THIRD round of the WA Student Assistance Payment coming in 2026! 🙌

As part of the 2026-27 State Budget, we’re investing $89.5 million to help families with the everyday costs of school.

✅ $150 for every kindergarten and primary school student
✅ $250 for every secondary school student

The WA Student Assistance Payment has already helped more than 500,000 students across our State — and we’re proud to deliver it again.

From uniforms and stationery to excursions and school essentials, this support is about helping WA families when they need it most 📚✏️

Payments will be made available from the start of Term 3 🚌

🌟 Big milestone today! 🌟
Our first outdoor aided language board is officially up and ready to go! 🎉
The vocabulary is mostly general to support a wide range of communication, with a special set of icons on the right (white background) that connect directly to specific places and words related to our recess and lunch spaces. 🛝🍽️
A big shoutout to Omer for lending a hand to our amazing Speechie, JT — teamwork at its best! 🙌
We’ve already had some fantastic interactions, with Sam (very curious!), Lucas, Omer, and Harley exploring and engaging with the board. So exciting to see it being used straight away! 💬✨
Now the fun begins… 
👉 Let’s get modelling!
