Yes. Kennington has ample play spaces for children during their breaks. There are four playgrounds, each allocated to specific grade levels (Prep, Grade 1 &2, Grade 3 & 4, Grade 5 & 6.)
As a school we expect that every child reads at home every night. Some grade levels may ask students to complete learning at home if necessary from time to time.
For students to access the Bendigo Deaf Facility they must first meet a certain criteria. This criteria can be discussed by contacting the school.
