Rise to the challenge with Bush Ranger Cadets
The mission of the Bush Ranger Cadet program is to support young Western Australians to take an active and lead role in the conservation of the natural environment and to understand the mechanisms for its management.
Developing creativity and critical thinking through STEM
Lower school students have one lesson a week in the STEM room where they develop their capabilities in critical and creative thinking as they learn to: generate and evaluate knowledge, clarify concepts and ideas, seek possibilities, consider alternatives, and solve problems.

With the Great Southern Trade Training Centre on site, KSHS Students get an early start towards a Vocational Pathway in the Automotive and Engineering Industries if they choose to. The facilities include vehicle hoists, CNC Plasma cutter, CNC Lathes, and Miling Machines, Hydraulic guillotine and Pan brake and a host of Welding Technologies.

On Monday we had our final PBS Shop opening of the year where 88 students used their PBS points to choose personal prizes. Students will be able to roll over up to 200 points into next year to spend at the shop. We also celebrated reaching 90,000 PBS points with ice-cream for all students and staff. It’s fantastic to see our school community regularly displaying our school values of Respect, Achievement, Perseverance and Tolerance.
Such a great initiative for our students to earn their PBS points. Thanks for baking the yummy treats which they can also choose as prizes 😁
Last weekend, the Bush Ranger Cadets had their final camp to Albany. We swam at the beach, canoed on the King River, visited the Historic Whaling Station, Gap, Natural Bridge, and Blow Holes, and camped at Gilcreek Scout Camp. Thanks to all the students and staff who have made Bush Rangers a fun experience this year. We hope you have enjoyed learning new skills and exploring the outdoors. We look forward to welcoming new members and doing more great things next year. Miss Watson
