Meeting Summary

At our last meeting on August 25^th our Chairperson, Sarah, welcomed an inclusive working relationship and ran a process where we agreed on the way we want to work together in meetings. This will become a dynamic document we revisit at each meeting.  We also explored our values, and came up with ideas about how we can involve parents in the aims of the School Association. This will result in a Task List that those currently involved with LPSA can put their names against, and will be accessible to the school community as a skills callout and survey in Term 4.

Kel Innis updated us on school improvements and the excitement happening around plans for the Kitchen Garden program, including an EOI process for a Kitchen Garden Educator that our Chair Sarah was involved in. Beth Vince updated us on Teaching and Learning, and took questions from parents.

We approved a funding proposal from Literacy Coach Sophie Sheehan for $1000 towards 150-200 new decodable readers that support our emergent and struggling readers.

 Call out for the LPSA FUNdraising Subcommittee

Talking about shared values, our LPS School Community loves to have FUN at the same time as making our school an engaging and supportive place for learning. If you would like to be involved in the cheer that happens while we FUNdraise, please email Sara Wright – Secretary at silverliningprojects@gmail.com with your interest and we will be in touch to form the committee and set a meeting. We need your creativity, comradery and help to find new ways to fundraise during these uncharted Covid times.

Our next meeting 

Tuesday October 13^th at 6.30pm in the GP Room.

Two important topics we will be touching on is how do we maintain an inclusive school community and how can our school community support the children’s learning in the outdoor environment. We will welcome two special guests to our meeting: Tasmanian Aboriginal Elder Theresa Sainty, to hear about her experience working with education, and Brett Gordon, our groundskeeper and creative land worker extraordinaire!! to talk about where he needs community support in his projects around the school and in the Music Garden.

Funding requests

Please submit any new funding requests by the 6^th of October so our committee has time to read and consider them. All school community members and students are eligible to submit requests in the interest of our students.
