Attendance Awards

A new initiative has been started by the office staff to minimise absences and maximise student learning, growth and development at Lyndhurst Primary School.

Every Monday morning at Assembly, grades with 100% attendance for the previous week will be presented with a certificate to congratulate all the students in that class for their attendance.

Attendance Awards for the week ending 21/6/19:

Grade 1D won the attendance party and enjoyed a day at the “circus”

We have 197 students at 100% attendance.

It’s just as important to arrive on time as it is to attend school when students arrive late at school, it can lead to a disruptive day. When they are late, they must try and catch up to the rest of the class from when they arrive at school.

There will be a reward offered to the students that have the highest attendance for the term.

Experiences of Parenting survey for Parents

Are You A Parent of a Child Aged 2 to 12?

The Parenting and Family Support Centre at the University of Queensland is conducting research into parents’ opinions about parenting and parenting programs. If you have a child between 2 and 12 years, we would love to hear your views on parenting and the services that are available to you as a parent. You will need to complete a short survey. To find out more or to participate please visit https://exp.psy.uq.edu.au/parenting

4pm Bell

Any students that are still waiting on school grounds to be picked up MUST come to the Office when the 4pm bell goes. The Office will attempt to contact parents, but if we can't get in touch, the children will go to after-school care to wait for their parent/guardian.

Staff Car Park

Just a reminder to our students and families that the students are not allowed to walk through the Staff Car Park on their way to and from class.

Unless parents have a disabled sticker, there should be no parents parking in the staff car park at any time.

Student Early Departures

There will be no student early pickups between 3pm and 3.30pm without an appointment card from a medical centre (Doctor, Dentist, Optometrist etc.). Special circumstances must be approved by the Principal in advance.

Students must be collected from class after being signed out by their Parent/Guardian. We can not be making announcements during class time.

It is a legal requirement for all parents or guardians coming to pick up children from the Office to show photo ID, e.g. Drivers Licence, Passport or Proof of Age Card.

If you are not picking up your own children, we will need to call the child’s parents to confirm, unless we have been notified prior to the pickup, as well as see photo ID. Please take this into account if you are picking children up for an appointment.

Children & Pets in Cars

We would like to remind families that it is illegal and dangerous to leave children, or pets, in the car unattended at any time.

Working With Children Cards

All parent helpers attending school excursions will need to have provided a copy of their Working with Children card to the Office before they can attend an excursion.

Dismissal of Students

Continuing on from last year, all students will be dismissed through the external doors of their classrooms.

Parents are to wait at the outside doors and not the internal corridors. Both measures are to reduce the amount of traffic through the school building. Your assistance is appreciated.

Please organise a meeting place for your child/ren if they are in classrooms at opposite end of the school. It is not possible for the Office to do announcements for 700 families to help children find each other.

Any children directed to the Office if their parents are running late will be directed to wait outside the front Office doors. Staff are on duty until 3.45pm.

Canteen List

The Canteen is now available for orders on Qkr!

All student lunches MUST be ordered before 9am on the day.
