Week 6 Update!
We’ve reached the halfway point of Term 1, and it has already been a busy and productive start to the year. A key focus across the school has been our Aim High Expectations and Learner Qualities.
It has been wonderful to see these explicitly taught in every classroom, with students and staff building a shared understanding of what strong learning looks like at LNPS.
By consistently reinforcing these core principles, we are strengthening a positive learning culture where every student can thrive. We encourage families to continue these conversations at home as we work together to build a strong foundation for success.
Honouring Our Legacy:A New Chapter for the Front Office Entrance
For more than sixty years, the ironbark trees at the Front Office entrance have been a defining feature of our grounds. Originally planted in 1960 by our first students and staff, these legacy trees have been part of the story of generations of LNPS learners. They were also an amazing home for rainbow lorikeets, rosellas, kookaburras, galahs, cockatoos and the mysterious malurus wren.
On Monday night, we had a significant limb fall, and after professional assessment, the final original Ironbark will be removed due to safety concerns. While we farewell this important part of our history with sadness, the safety of our community remains our highest priority.
This now provides us with the opportunity to reimagine the space. We will be keen to redevelop the area in a way that honours our local bird life and our past while supporting the future of our school.
We look forward to engaging with our community as planning progresses and will share opportunities for input in the future.
Learning Conferences
Learning Conferences will be occurring with families and students during Weeks 8, 9 and 10 (16th March to 2nd April).
Students, family members, and teachers will:
Reflect upon and discuss the Learner Quality reflection
Identify Learner Quality goals and collaboratively develop evidence to demonstrate success
Discuss English and Mathematics goals, sharing strategies to support this learning at home and at school

As per usual, if families have queries regarding their child’s learning at any stage of the year, they are invited to make contact with staff.
All bookings will be undertaken through
https://www.schoolinterviews.com.au/codeusing this code t738j and will be open to families from Friday 6th March at 3pm until Friday 13th March at 3pm . If you any support with booking, please contact your child's classroom teacher.
Morning and Afternoon Yard Duty
Each morning and afternoon, we have a Leadership Team Member on yard duty from 8:30 to 8:50 and 3:10 to 3:25. This is to support morning drop-off, afternoon pick-up and provide duty of care. This is often done in collaboration with parents and families.
Please be aware that both playgrounds are closed every morning and are only accessible after school with parent supervision. The Grounds Shed at the back of the oval is also out of bounds at all times.
We appreciate everyone's support in ensuring that your child/ren, and our students are safe at these times.
