Kukerin Primary School

• Sergeant Alby Van Den berg, Officer in Charge Dumbleyung Police Station, visited the school on Tuesday the 4th of June to talk to the students about some ongoing community vandalism. This was linked with our school behaviour expectations of ‘I am Respectful’ and ‘I am Responsible’. It was pleasing to see the students take the matter seriously and offer thoughtful comments and questions in regards to the issue.

• Last Friday the Senior Room students participated in the annual Lakes Speech, Drama and Art Festival held in Dumbleyung. The students had been working long and hard on preparing for this through practising their choral and individual poem recitals as well as putting together some outstanding ‘Mixed Media’ art pieces. It was a highly successful day and the students displayed great courage, composure and skill in their poetry performances. Congratulations to all students on their efforts and for those students who achieved a specific award.
• Kael Astbury, Miells Astbury and Ashleigh Faulkner were recently selected to represent our school at the 2019 Interschool Cross Country event held in Narrogin.
