Rain or shine, we’re thriving (and dancing, and running, and so on and so on…)!

Is it really spring? More like an Australian winter!

We've certainly had some un-spring-like weather lately, but we hope everyone is still finding ways to enjoy the season, even if it feels a bit more like an Australian winter!

Celebrating Our Students!

We had a fantastic time at the Kars Got Talent Show! Our students truly shone, showcasing an incredible range of talents from puppets and drumming to rock and roll and dance. A huge thank you to our Student Council and to Mme Reece, Mme Tait, and Ms. Westbrook for their hard work in making it such a success.

Good luck to our dedicated marathoners who will be completing their marathons tomorrow at the Race Weekend event! We're so proud of their commitment and perseverance. Many thanks to Mr. Blois for his exceptional leadership in preparing them for this challenge.

Spring into Gardening with KOTR School Council!

Join us on May 31st from 9-11:30 AM as we spruce up the school grounds, refresh our outdoor spaces, and add some vibrant new plants to the front gardens. Bring the family and your gardening gloves and tools for a morning of digging in the dirt and sprucing up the school. Kids can choose their own planter to take home, and everyone will have a chance to win a beautiful hanging basket from Ritchies!

Thank you for your continued support and engagement with KOTR. We appreciate your partnership in making our school a wonderful place for our students to learn and grow.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Take good care,
