Stories and highlights
There's always something to celebrate at our school! From exciting events to proud moments and everyday wins, here are some of our highlights.
A Year at our school
Annual Whole School Performance
A much-loved tradition at KPS is our Annual Whole School Performance, where all students from Kindergarten to Year 6 participate. The event includes both a matinee and an evening performance, providing opportunities for families and community members to come together and enjoy the show. Performances always feature a vibrant mix of dances and beautiful costumes.
In 2026 we are excited to present, The Kangaroo King which is an Australian-inspired adaptation of the well-known movie and book The Lion King. These performances celebrate student creativity and community spirit, drawing many local families to Kandos Public School.
Infants, Stage 2 and Stage 3 Excursions
Excursions are a vital part of our school experience, providing rich learning opportunities beyond the classroom. Last year our Lake Burrendong excursion provided students the opportunity to explore, learn, and connect with nature while building teamwork, independence, and lasting memories.
Grandparents' Day
Each year, we celebrate the contribution grandparents make to their families and to our community. This special event offers grandparents an opportunity to visit and participate in their grandchild's school.
Weekly Gather and Yarn Sessions
· Provide a culturally safe space for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to share their voices, reflect on their strengths, and set goals.
· Focus on building student confidence, celebrating culture, and strengthening connections to learning and community.
· Incorporate new resources to support engagement, with positive feedback from students.
We are proud to support every student in walking strong in both their education and their culture.
Education Week 2026
Kandos Public School celebrated the 2026 Education Week with an Open Day on Friday, 7th September. The event commenced with class items and an assembly where students, staff and community members were awarded Education Week awards. The assembly followed the unveiling of new murals, painted by local artist and author, Jess Lefley. Classrooms were then open to families and visitors and the P&C provided the school community with a barbecue and a cake and drink stall.
Visit to Kandos High School Ag Plot
The students in Class KB and the Intervention Group were invited by Kandos High School to visit their Ag Plot. The group helped to collect eggs, feed the sheep and even took over the controls of the tractor. The smiles said it all! Kandos Public School is proud to maybe have encouraged a few farmers of the future.

“All three of my children have attended KPS, and I can’t recommend the school highly enough! KPS has amazing, caring teachers, and the students are given so many opportunities to participate in a range of team sports and extra-curricular activities such as Public Speaking, the Gulgong Eisteddfod, the Peer Support Program, and exciting excursions that support their classroom learning.” — a parent of Kandos Public School
