We discussed these and other general issues at our termly whole school Health &amp; Safety Committee meeting. If you have any concerns related to Health &amp; Safety in school please do contact us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Linked to safety but outside of school, unfortunately on Wednesday during the pick-up time, one of our parents returned to their car to find dents and damage to the front bumper. Could I appeal to our community, if anyone is aware of, or saw what happened to pop into the school office or send me a message; the car was parked opposite the drop-off lane.\u00a0 Your help would be very much appreciated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next week on Wednesday 18<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we have a coffee morning (Drop Off &amp; Drop In), starting at 8am. It will be an opportunity to highlight the year ahead and answer any questions you may have. At 9am we will be hosting a visit from KPJ who will be delivering health talks for our parents on hypertension and hand hygiene. This will last approximately an hour and will be in the MPR room straight after the Coffee Morning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The end of next week on Saturday 21<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">st<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a busy day with a number of opportunities, firstly we have the Eco Warriors Beach Clean, if you can spend some time helping, it would be much appreciated; you can also bring a picnic and enjoy the social side of helping the environment. At the same time, a Reef Clean Up to help protect under the water is being led by Ms McNutt. Across the same weekend, Penampang Stadium will have other students in water but this time, swimming and competing at the Preps Swim Competition; we wish all the KIS competitors the best of luck.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Finally, many of you will know Ms Tina as one of the first faces you meet at KIS in Admissions. We are delighted to announce she has had her own little admission to her family. Baby Jagger Louie was born a few days ago, weighing in at 3Kg. We all wish the family well at this exciting time.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever you are doing this weekend, I wish you a relaxing break and a happy Malaysia Day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See you on Tuesday (which will be a Monday).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ian Gross<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><strong>Principal<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear KIS Community, &nbsp; Next week is the last of the four day weeks.
