Communications at KPS

Outlined here are the ways to keep up to date with everything that’s happening at Killara Public School. In order to be included in these communications, please register for the school’s app, called Sentral and provide your contact details to your class parent in the first week of the school year, as outlined below. You will also need to keep your contact details up to date with the school office.

I have a question about my child…

The first point of contact for queries relating to your child is via your class teacher. To make an appointment, please contact the school office by phone (9498 2397) or email (killara-p.school@det.nsw.edu.au). You may contact the teacher directly if an email address has been provided to parents.

Get to Know Your Class Representatives

Every class aims to have two class parent representatives who volunteer to organise and coordinate class-related activities. Their role is to provide communications between the teacher and other class parents (e.g. to organise reading group rosters, provide last minute email reminders on behalf of the teacher and organize class social functions). If you would like to be a Class Representative, please advise your class teacher at the Parent Information Night (held in the first few weeks of term 1). Once appointed, the Class Representatives will introduce themselves via email to all class parents.

All school year groups will be allocated an event/activity which is to be managed collectively by the Class Representatives across the grade. Class Representatives will call out for volunteer parents within their class to assist.

Save the School Directory

This is a document containing contact details for each class member and their parents/carers. Your Class Representative will send you this directory once it has been completed.

Fortnightly Newsletters

The school produces a fortnightly newsletter which is emailed to all parents. The newsletter is also sent out on the Sentral app. and is available on the school website ( School Newsletters). They contain updates on all activities happening at the school. The P&C have a page in the newsletter fortnightly to update the community of our P&C news.

Read Notes Sent Home

Notes and permission slips are often sent home via the class teacher/office with your child or via the SchoolBytes app. Sometimes only one note goes home with the eldest child, other times there will be one note per child. Notes are also available on the SchoolBytes app. and from the school website ( School Notes).

Information Evenings & Parent/Teacher Interviews

There are information evenings held throughout the year for important topics/events (e.g. at the start of the school year and for education week). Parent/Teacher interviews are also conducted mid-year. School reports are sent home mid-year and at the end of the year.
