School Development Days:
For many schools, the first day of each of Terms 1, 2 and 3 and the last two days of Term 4 are School Staff Development Days and thus are student free days (ie. students do not attend school as there is no supervision available). On occasion, KPS staff will participate in evening training sessions in lieu of Staff Development Days as outlined above - we will always notify the school community of these end/start of Term date changes via the school Newsletter and media channels. Eg. last day for KPS students in 2017 is Thursday, 14 December (Friday 15 December is a Pupil Free Day).
Parents need to make alternative arrangements for their children on these days as staff members engage in professional development activities.
Sometimes these activities are conducted at a different venue. School administrative support staff (SASS) members may be involved in our school-based development on site or at another venue on separate topics. This could affect office hours.
