Principal Message
It’s been an action-packed few weeks at Kambora. Students have enjoyed a wide range of engaging and meaningful learning experiences that reflect the energy and community spirit of our school.
Our wheelchair sports workshops were a standout, offering students a hands-on opportunity to build teamwork and resilience while learning about inclusive sport. Weekly sports lessons have also continued to be a highlight, with students developing their skills across a variety of games and activities.
In the classroom, students have begun writing letters to their new pen pals at the Belrose Country Club Retirement Village. There has been a real buzz of excitement as they prepare to send off their first letters and look forward to seeing how they are received.
Guitar lessons have also begun, bringing music into our learning spaces, and our recent pyjama day was a fun and relaxed way to build school spirit and connection.
A reminder that the Department of Education’s consultation process is currently open. Parents and carers are encouraged to provide their input — please see the information below for how to take part.
Thank you for your continued support.

It was an inspiring experience that celebrated creativity, confidence, and community through the performing arts.

It was a fantastic opportunity for students to learn about accessibility and have fun while trying something new.
National Simultaneous Storytime 2025
All Kambora students participated in National Simultaneous Storytime on May 21 in the library, enjoying the book Truck Cat. They had a wonderful time, joining more than two million students online across the country to share this reading experience together. A big thank you to Mrs Allman for facilitating this engaging and enjoyable event.
Pyjama Day
On May 26, Kambora students participated in Pyjama Day to raise funds for the Pyjama Foundation. They came dressed in their snuggly best and enjoyed hot chocolates with marshmallows from the canteen as part of the day’s activities. Many thanks to Liz for facilitating these and making the day extra special for everyone.

Extra Curricular Opportunities
Art Enrichment
After a term full of 3D projects, students kicked off the Term 2 Art Enrichment program exploring the world of Abstract Art.
Vibrant, ribbon-like compositions that practically dance across the page were created. Inspired by contemporary Californian artist Amber Vittoria, known for her bold use of color and fluid forms, students crafted double-sided colored paper strips transformed into mesmerising zigzag patterns.
The project challenged our young artists to think about composition, colour relationships, positive and negative space as they arranged their colorful ribbons. Come and view these pieces and more where they are on display in the main hallway next to our art room.
The abstract nature of this project allowed students to experiment freely with color combinations while still working within a structured technique.
It reinforced fine motor skills through careful tracing, cutting lines, colouring, cutting, folding and gluing, while simultaneously introducing our abstract art theme in an accessible, playful format. The finished artworks are bursting with vibrant hues against neutral backgrounds, and I’m sure you will agree, bring a welcome splash of color to our entry hallway.
