The Bugle is pleased to present a fortnightly feature with Kiama High School, bringing you the latest news and events from the school.

KHS Fest on again

KHS Fest will be held on 8 December to celebrate the positive school culture that students and staff build together every day and recognise the successful completion of another school year.

Coordinated by the Student Representative Council and held at school, it will include food trucks, activities, games, raffles, music and entertainment.

The school wants to hear from any parents or businesses who would like to hold a stall at KHS Fest.

Or if there are any local businesses, members of the school community or parents who are able to donate items, gift vouchers, etc for the raffles and prizes, that would be greatly appreciated by the school as well.

Keep a look out for further information on the Kiama High School social media pages.

Year 10 Science Excursion to IMARC

Kiama High School Year 10 students recently enjoyed a full and engaging day at the International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC) in Sydney along with students from nine other selected NSW schools.

The day began with talks from geologists that sparked curiosity and prompted thoughtful questions about the variety of careers available in mining and resources.

Students participated in a competitive exploration activity where they formed teams to simulate real-world mining decisions.

With support from industry volunteers, they analysed geological, environmental and social impact data before pitching their projects to ‘investors’ to secure funding or social licence credits to develop their mine sites.

The winning team struck gold, winning bars of chocolate as prizes.

Students explored over 500 exhibition booths, interacting with robots, drones, and large machinery.

One memorable experience was having the opportunity to hold a 20kg bar of gold and meet the Australian scientists teaming up with NASA to ground survey the moon in 2026.

Movember momentous

Kiama High School is proudly taking part in Movember, a global movement raising awareness and funds for men’s health.

From growing moustaches to moving for mental health, students and staff are stepping up to make a difference, helping to start important conversations about mental wellbeing, suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

Kiama’s iconic lighthouse now sports a stylish Movember moustache on the school logo, reminding us all to shine a light on men’s health and look out for one another.
