From the Principal
It is my pleasure to announce that Mrs Andrea Curran has won the position of Advanced Skills Teacher for the remainder of 2019. Mrs Curran will be working in the role of Numeracy Coach across Kinder to Grade 6, and brings with her extensive experience and knowledge in coaching and numeracy. We also are pleased to confirm that Mrs Jen Thompson will be staying with us in the role of Art teacher for the rest of this term.
Today, 5/6A and 2A travelled to Rosny College to attend their Science Fair. Eight of our classes have opted into this amazing experience over the next 7 days, where college students will share their knowledge with our students as part of Science Week.
Following on from Science Week, we are very excited to have lots of fun and educational opportunities organised during Book Week (August 17th-23rd). Our parade is being held on Wednesday 21st August at 9:15am in the GP Hall. Staff and students are very excited about this, and welcome all parents and friends to attend the parade.
Duty of Care is something we take very seriously at LPS, and therefore, it is important for all parents to be aware that this doesn’t officially begin here until 8:30am and ends at 2:55pm. If students arrive before 8:30am, or are on school property after 2:55pm they must be in the company of a responsible adult. We are fortunate to have Clarence Outside School Hours Care here on site, so if you are having trouble with either before or after school care please contact the Clarence Council on 6217 9610 to discuss availability, or visit their website here:
Over the past few months we have been working hard on our communication with parents. As I have previously mentioned, we have several social media platforms, in class online apps as well as our official SchoolZine app. Could all parents who need to communicate with the school please use the SchoolZine app, or phone the school office (6243 9232), when reporting absences or if they need to send messages to students or classroom teachers. The Facebook site/Seesaw app is not checked regularly throughout the day, and is not an appropriate forum for time-sensitive messages or information.
