    President's News

    Hello Everyone,

    I hope everyone's surviving the cold winter days...only a month to go!  But before the winter ends, KAF families will be heading to the snow on Sunday 29th August.  We will be travelling together to Mt Baw Baw as a group in a comfy bus.  So if you haven't registered for the trip yet, book your place with us ASAP.  Please note that the bus fare for children (for those who are members) will be subsidised by 50%.

    We also have a KAF trivia night coming up on Saturday 23rd of October.  This will be a great chance for the parents to socialise without kids and also show off their knowledge.  Hope you can make it.

    Warm regards,

    Linda Choi

    KAF President
