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.)

For students to access the Bendigo Deaf Facility they must first meet a certain criteria.  This criteria can be discussed by contacting the school.

Each year level at Kennington Primary School has a booklist.  Parents pay for the contents of the booklists as essential items and the school orders it in for all students.
