MIDDLE SCHOOL
Welcome back!
Middle School welcomes back all of the returning students and we hope that new students to LHS are settling in to their new surrounds. We are sure you all had a refreshing holiday and are looking forward to a very enjoyable and productive year in Middle School.
Congratulations to all students for your conduct, preparedness for class and the way in which you are wearing your school uniform. We hope to see this continue throughout the year.
Although it is early in the school year, we would like to give all parents and students a reminder of the School’s S and N policy. We expect all students are: punctual to class, be prepared with books and resources, be positive and have a ‘can do’ attitude, be persistent and not give up easily, complete and submit all of the work set, complete assessments and complete and submit all homework.
