On Tuesday we ran the interschool swimming carnival involving our school, East Victoria Park and Victoria Park Primary Schools. Kensington PS won the event by a considerable margin. The results are below. Thank you to Mrs Stanford and her wonderful team of parent helpers: Shannon Kynaston, Mel Byfield, Martine O'Connell (ex KPS parent) and Brendan Joss. Thank you to Mr Powers for supervising, our student leaders for organising the team, Mrs Jetta for judging and Mrs Bernic for keeping the score. There was a wonderful atmosphere at the carnival with everyone showing great sportsmanship and enjoying the lovely weather.

Summer Carnival
Last Thursday was the Victoria Park area summer carnival. We played 5 sports against 6 other schools, Victoria Park, East Victoria Park, Lathlain, Bentley, and Millen. It was a new experience for all students as last year’s carnival was cancelled. Our students competed in an exemplary manner with great results. The tee ball team placed 1st, Newcombe ball 2nd, volleyball 2nd, girls cricket 1st and 6th, boys cricket 1st and 4th. (We had 2 teams in the boys’ and girls’ cricket- a great experience for the Year 5 students who were able to play). Kensington won the overall summer carnival shield. Big thanks to our parent helpers Mel, Leanne, Amy, and to our staff, Cecelia, Denise, Jack, and Ashley for their coaching at senior sport and the carnival. Without their assistance we would not be able to field the extra teams and be so successful.
Curtin University sponsored our summer carnival. They offer School Holiday Sports programs through Carnaby Kids. Check out their website or the attached brochure for details.
