Killara High School

German Day at UNSW! On Friday 29 May, our Year 9 and 10 German students attended the Stage 5 German Day at UNSW, organised in collaboration with the German Embassy and the Goethe-Institute (German Cultural Institute).

Students had the opportunity to interact with other German learners from across New South Wales through a range of engaging language and cultural activities. They also learned about future opportunities available through German, including university pathways, scholarships, exchange programs, and studying in Germany.

It was a fantastic day that allowed students to use their German in an authentic setting while discovering the many opportunities that language learning can provide.

Last Friday the Mr Wilson and the SRC hosted our Fun Friday and m***i day. Students engaged in games, a raffle and a yummy bake sale, all raising money for the Inner West Refuge supporting refugees. Thank you for supporting this fun day raising money for a good cause.

A massive congratulations to Bridget M for her recent efforts at the NSWCHS Open Girls Netball Championships!

Bridget was a member of the bronze-medal winning Sydney North team. Playing nine games across three days in Port Macquarie, Sydney North finished with six wins, one tie and two losses.

Bridget was named as MVP for Sydney North sot the second year in a row.

At the conclusion of the tournament, a ten-member NSWCHS representative team was selected from the ten competing regions. Bridget was successful in being selected in this representative side which is an amazing achievement.
Well done, and Good luck for the NSW All Schools.

Over the weekend of 16 & 17 May, proud KHS students competed in the Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA) hosted by Rotary District 9685 at Roseville Public School. During MUNA competitions, teams need to best represent the interests of their countries across a range of topics, such as whether minerals should be mined in Antarctica. KHS represented Ukraine and students George, Annabel and James showcased their outstanding ability to weigh up their country's international interests in times of global conflict.

We were gratefully sponsored to compete by Rotary Ku-ring-gai, whose continued support means our students get to participate in fantastic opportunities beyond the classroom.

Year 7 had an amazing time at camp last week! Students and teachers alike stepped out of their comfort zones, enjoyed plenty of fun on the water, and made some fantastic memories together. It was great to see everyone getting involved, supporting one another, and embracing every opportunity camp had to offer.
