It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Kadina Memorial School
We are a truly dynamic, friendly, vibrant and community oriented school located at the top of Yorke Peninsula. This web site will provide you with information about the school, its programs, newsletters, activities and other relevant information. It won’t however be able to answer all your questions. I encourage you to contact the school and arrange a meeting at a mutually convenient time, so we are able to more fully attend to your questions.
Our school in 2013 builds on existing traditions of supporting students from Reception to Year 12, whilst using innovative learning practices, to empower them to achieve their full potential as successful and valued members of their community.
The most important people in our school are the students. They continue to show that they are young people who are willing to take a chance and also work hard to develop knowledge and skills that will support their future opportunities and their ability to participate and relate to our global world.
Kadina Memorial School is fortunate to have the services of a committed, passionate group of educators, supported by quality hard working student support officers who take great pride in providing a safe and secure learning environment, whilst at the same time providing a full range of dynamic and challenging academic and extracurricular programs. Staff take great pride in providing a safe and secure learning environment, whilst at the same time providing a full range of dynamic and challenging academic and extracurricular programs.
We have a great group of parents who support Kadina Memorial in many valued ways, we always welcome parental support and you may wish to assist us by working in the canteen, Mentoring, Learning Assistance Program (LAP), listening to students read, working at sports day and other school events or being involved in our Parent Club or School Council.
The partnership between school, parents and students is vital in achieving successful outcomes and we invite you to work with us in aiming for success for your child.
As a parent you can start the pathway to success by encouraging your child:
- to attend school every day except if they are sick
- to talk with their teachers or relevant school leaders if they have any problems
- to respect the rights of teachers to teach and other students to learn
- to complete all set tasks including homework
- be organised, with equipment and books required
- to be positive and do the best they can – through determination and persistence
We welcome you to our school web site and encourage you to make contact with us directly.
