• Stage 1 – from Tuesday 26 May 
  Early years students (Prep to Year 2)

• Stage 2 - from Tuesday 9 June 
  Year 3 to 6 students will return to on-site schooling

PREP 2021 TRANSITION PROCESS AND SCHOOL TOURS

Due to the Covid-19 restrictions schools are unable to hold any tours of the school until further notice. The Sunbury Network of Primary Schools intend to hold tours and information sessions during Term 3, dependant on advice from the Department of Education at that time. These dates will be promoted on school websites, Facebook pages, local childcare centres and kindergartens as soon as they are confirmed.

2021 enrolment packs are now available. Please our school office on 97444566 or email kismet.park.ps@edumail.vic.gov.au to request a copy.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as well work through the COVID environment.

2020 Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge

Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge

The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is open and Kismet Park Primary School is excited to be participating. A new application is being used this year that offers a range of exciting features including:

• access to a library catalogue (including book images and blurbs)
• a modern user-friendly interface
• rewarding  students with badges as challenge milestones are achieved
• the option for students to mark books as a favourite, give them a star rating or complete a book review

The Challenge is open to all Victorian children from birth to Year 10 in recognition of the importance of reading for literacy development. It is not a competition; but a personal challenge for children to read a set number of books by 4 September 2020.

Children from Prep to Year 2 are encouraged to read or ‘experience’ 30 books with their parents and teachers. Children from Year 3 to Year 10 are challenged to read 15 books.

All children who meet the Challenge will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the Victorian Premier and former Premiers.

To read the Premier’s letter to parents, view the booklists and for more information about the Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge, visit: www.education.vic.gov.au/prc

You can even share your stories and photos using the hashtag #VicPRC and join the Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge Facebook page
