Kinma Community
The Kinma community thrives on participation by everyone. Parents manage the school through an elected Board, and are frequently part of the classroom - bringing to the school a whole spectrum of activities from music, arts and craft, to drama, yoga and storytelling.
To the child, Kinma School feels much like an extended family, and in this community atmosphere children learn that they are valued, respected and heard.
If you are a current preschool or primary parent, please join our Community Group on Facebook.
Kinma alumni
Kinma provides children with a strong academic, emotional, and social foundation. Along with the important basic skills, Kinma children take with them a love of learning, a strong sense of self and well developed thinking and communication skills.
We love to hear from our alumni and welcome you back to visit our school. If you have a story you'd like to share about your Kinma experiences, or about what you've achieved since leaving Kinma, please email us.
Community planning day
Held only once each year, our community planning day is an opportunity for existing and new Kinma families to get together, meet and chat about the year ahead, as well as discuss Kinma's educational practices, activities and work you would like to see happening throughout the year and opportunities for you make your unique contributions to our school community.
As we are a parent-managed school, it is very important that all Kinma families attend - children are very welcome to come and play. Community Planning Day is hosted by the Kinma School Board.
Annual auction night
Our major fundraising event of the year is our Annual Auction Night, held annually in September/October. It's a fabulous themed night which our parents view as the perfect excuse to get dressed up and let their hair down while bidding frenetically on a range of fantastic auction items.
Snack Attack
At Kinma, we don't have a canteen. Instead we have Snack Attack, a weekly healthy lunch prepared on Wednesdays by parents and children for the whole school. The children love Snack Attack and parents enjoy the break from preparing a packed lunch.
Whole School Camp at the Yurt Farm, Goulburn
Kinma's annual school camp is held at the Yurt Farm, a large operational sheep farm about 20km out of Goulburn, hosted by Mike and Judit. We have been visiting the Yurt Farm for over 20 years.
The camp is held as a community event to allow families to have a good time and the kids to wind down. It is a great opportunity for the whole family to enjoy a camping/ farm experience together with their school community.
Community activities
Kinma hosts a range of different actvities for the community throughout the year, some of which have become mainstays of the Kinma culture, including our annual Bush Dance, poetry festival, kids Christmas markets and progressive lunch.
