Wellbeing Report

By Brooke McInnes, 

Acting Assistant Principal LPPS.

Main focuses:

• As we begin the new term, teachers have been actively recognising students who are demonstrating excellent behaviour in the classroom and playground. Keep an eye on Compass—you may receive a ‘positive behaviour’ notification celebrating your child’s efforts. Teachers are also consistently applying the "reinforce, remind, and redirect" approach when students need support in meeting behaviour expectations. This process ensures students are given every opportunity to reflect and adjust before any further action is taken.

• Lego Club – We are very excited to have our Lego Club up and running. This will be running 3 lunch times per week in the library. The first week has been a great success with students from all across the school coming to check it out. 

• Breakfast Club runs for 3 mornings a week over near the gym area. It is staffed by some of our Education Support staff and our Breakfast Club monitors. We firmly believe that students need to have a good breakfast to be regulated and focused in the classroom. We offer fruit, milk and toast. We are aware of allergies alerted on student files. It is a ‘grab and go’ set up so we can cater for lots of students to have a healthy snack before class.

• On Tuesday 6th May we had Dolly’s Dream come out to share research and tips to help keep kids safe online. Attached are some Bullying Prevention notes that you may like to read if you weren’t able to make it on the night. 

• THRIVE Awards - Well done to all of our THRIVE award winners from weeks 1 and 2. These students demonstrated our THRIVE values of ‘Try Your Best’ and ‘Be Healthy’

On Tuesday 6th May we had Dolly’s Dream come out to share research and tips to help keep kids safe online. Our next parent event will be 6th August with Kids Roar, which will focus on protective practices

Spinal Health Week 2025

Get the heads up on tech neck this National Spinal Health Week (26 May to 1 June 2025)

National Spinal Health Week (26 May to 1 June 2025) is the flagship initiative of the Australian Chiropractors Association (ACA). For almost 30 years, ACA’s annual community health initiative has shone a spotlight on spinal health issues that affects millions of Australians while encouraging individuals and communities across our nation to take proactive steps to improve spinal health.

In 2025, our campaign targets Tension Neck Syndrome. Commonly known as ‘tech neck’ or ‘text neck’, the condition is a global health concern caused by poor posture and the prolonged or incorrect use of digital devices, including smartphones, tablets and computers.

With prevention the best protection, get the heads up on tech neck and join the Spinal Health Week movement to learn and share practical strategies that can help prevent tech neck, support spinal health, and reduce the economic and personal burden of MSDs.
