Dear Parents & Friends

We hope all our students, families, and staff have settled in well for Term 1. It is hard to believe we are in Week 7 already!

The P&F Association continues to work closely with Kennedy and we always aim to support and benefit the whole College community. We would love to see some new faces join the committee and become actively involved in the incredible work the P&F does for the College. There are so many reasons to be part of this community, and you will be pleasantly surprised with what we achieve and the fun we have. On that note, I am once again privileged to serve as president of the P&F committee. I would love to introduce and welcome our P&F Executive Committee for 2021 and also extend a warm welcome to our General Committee Members:

Executive Committee:
Vice President – Mrs Michelle Marshall
Secretary – Mr Peter Gough
Treasurer – Mrs Marie Spires
Facebook Coordinator – Mrs Lorinda Gregory

General Committee: Mrs Vicki Howe, Mrs Katherine Arnold, Mrs Anita Cagney and
Mr Glenn Elliott running the Fathering Project. 

We are excited that 2021 is now in full swing and our first event last night, the Protective Behaviours Information Evening, was very successful. Next on the calendar is a fun Indoor Rock Climbing evening for all current dads and their child/ren, run by the Fathering Project. This event will be held at Portside Boulders O’Connor on Saturday 20 March from 7:00pm - 9:00pm. Please click here for more details. In Term 2 they will be hosting a fun evening of Ten-pin Bowling. Keep an eye out for more details!

I would also love to encourage all families to join us at the Kennedy Easter services on either Monday 29 or Tuesday 30 March. The Kennedy Easter services prove to be special events where we reflect on the foundation of our faith here at the College and it is an excellent opportunity to connect with other parents.

Our next General Meeting will be on Wednesday 28 April at 6.30pm in the Staff Lounge.

Kennedy Baptist College Parents and Friends Association (the Association) was established in 2013 and was formed to bring together the wider community of the College, parents, friends and teachers. We hold General Meetings each term and contribute to our Community Open Day's planning and running in Term 3. We value all our parents and friends, along with the broad scope of expertise and talents that you would bring to the committee. 

If you have a desire and willingness to serve, be involved with your children/s academic years, and want to see great things happen in the life of our College, come along, and see what all the excitement is about!

I would love to leave you with this verse from Philippians 4:8, "And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise."

Many Blessings,
Renee Puizina

How will we keep you connected?

• P&F Facebook page – this is a great avenue for us to keep you up to date with all the latest and greatest news as well as a tool for parents to sell books and uniforms.  If you would like to be a part of the page please use the request to join and our committee will follow that up. 

• Kennedy Parent’s Connect – this is a newsletter specifically from the P&F which will be sent to each family a few times throughout each term.  It will have more detailed information than the Facebook page for all the relevant events at the time.  It will also have articles of interest or ideas and tips on parenting, schooling or even just life. 

• College Newsletter – only dates of events and P&F contact details will be in the fortnightly College newsletter.
