Dear KingsView Families,

We are excited to be launching a promotional push to share the great things happening at KingsView School with our wider community. This will include:

• Facebook Promotion – Please support us by liking, commenting on, and sharing our posts to help spread the word!
• Community Outreach – We’ll be involved in sausage sizzles, market days, and Open Mornings to connect with families who may be interested in joining our school.
• Open Morning – Tuesday, 1st April at 9 AM – If you know families who might be interested in KingsView School, invite them to our Open Morning where they can meet our staff, tour the school, and see what makes KingsView special.
• Posters & Flyers – If you have space at your church, business, or community venue, we’d love to provide you with an A3 laminated poster to display. See Amos if you can help! Flyers can also be placed in cafés, libraries, and play centres—every little bit helps!
• Word-of-Mouth & Parent Referrals – Your personal recommendations are invaluable! If you know families looking for a great school, we encourage you to share your positive experiences.
• Referral Appreciation – As a small thank-you, we have a welcome gift for new families and a token of appreciation for the family who refers them.
• Enrolments & Future Growth – We currently have a waiting list for non-preference families but do have space available for preference enrolments (Christian families). While we continue to grow, we are committed to maintaining our small class sizes for current families. We also have room to open a new class as needed.
• Future Plans – As we look ahead, we are actively seeking land for a new school site to support our long-term vision for KingsView School.
• Parent Testimonials – We love hearing from our families! We already have testimonials from new parents and would love to add more. If you’re a current or former KingsView parent and would like to share your experience, please let Amos know. Your words can make a big impact!

Your support in building our school community is greatly appreciated. Thank you for partnering with us to grow KingsView School!

Blessings,

Amos
