Keysborough Gardens Primary School

On Friday, we celebrated a group of students who proudly represented our school at inter-school sports and were recognised for their outstanding sportsmanship ⚽️🏉

Each student received a Spirit of Sport Award, nominated by Silverton Primary School, for the respect, teamwork, and integrity they displayed both on and off the field.🏅

We’re incredibly proud of the way they represented our school and showed our school values of kindness and respect. 💙🧡

Mrs Jenkins was also presented with awards recognising the students’ recent achievements, including being crowned District Cross Country Champions and the Y6 girls’ Softball team taking out the District Premiership! 🏆🚩

We are so proud of all our students recent sporting achievements! 🌟

🌿🧤 KGPS Working Bee – Thursday 18 June! 🧤🌿

We’re inviting our KGPS families to join us after school from 3:30pm–4:30pm for our upcoming Working Bee!

Many hands make light work, and even an hour can make a big difference as we work together to freshen up our beautiful school grounds. 🌱

Jobs include:
🌿 Weeding garden beds
✂️ Trimming hedges
🍂 Raking mulch
🏫 General school tidy-up

It’s also a wonderful opportunity to connect with other families and contribute to our school community.

We’d love to see as many families there as possible! 💚

🏊‍♀️💦 What a Fantastic Week of Swimming! 💦🏊‍♂️

Our Prep–2 students had an amazing time participating in this year's swimming program, building their confidence, developing important water safety skills, and having plenty of fun along the way!

Throughout the week, students challenged themselves, and showed great enthusiasm in the pool. We are so proud of their efforts! 🌟

A huge thank you to the incredible instructors at Toby Haenen Swim Centre for their expertise and support throughout the program.

We would also like to extend a special thank you to Mr Blundell for all of his hard work organising the program and ensuring everything ran so smoothly. Your efforts are greatly appreciated! 🙌

Well done to all of our Prep–2 swimmers on a fantastic week! 🏅🐬

Today is World Environment Day 🌿
A global day of action to protect our environment and encourage sustainable practices.

At KGPS, we promote responsibility and kindness towards our planet, empowering students to make positive environmental choices.

Today we recognise Mabo Day.

This day marks a significant moment in Australian history, recognising the land rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

At KGPS, we reflect on the importance of respect, justice and understanding, as we continue to learn about Australia’s history.

A big thank you to all of our Year 3 families who were able to attend tonight’s Camp Information Night! We truly appreciate you taking the time out of your evening to learn more about the exciting adventure ahead.

Year 3 camp is such a special milestone and an exciting first camp experience for our students. Your support and involvement helps make this opportunity even more meaningful as we prepare for a memorable experience filled with learning, growth and fun.

While camp is still a little while away in Term 4, we are excited for the journey ahead! Please keep an eye out for upcoming compass posts and important information, including forms and updates, which will begin to be shared next term.

We can’t wait to see the excitement build as camp gets closer! 🏕️✨
