Things to know
The community members of Launching Place Primary School acknowledge the traditional owners, the Kulin nations, of the land on which we learn and play.
We pay respects to the Aboriginal Elders, past and present, who are our teachers.
We thank them for taking care of children and country for countless generations.
Community Pantry
Please remember to utilize the resources available at the Community Pantry located in the school foyer.
Everyone is encouraged to take what they need.
Our goal this term is to utilize all the supplies we have before the end of the term in preparation for the new year, when we can begin fresh by placing orders to replenish the pantry for the community.
Breakfast Club runs every Wednesday and Thursday from 8.10 - 8.40 (limited menu after 8.30). All welcome!
Parent helpers are most welcome to pop in and give a lending hand. Thank You To Esme for all your help.
Uniform shop
LPPS is in the midst of changing uniform suppliers. Soon our new supplier will be online.
The transition should be seamless and we will keep you up to date when this transition is complete. We still have exsisting uniform at school which can be purchased at the school

EVENTS-Excursions
Please ensure that you provide consent for any upcoming excursions prior to the specified closing date. Once bookings with venues and transportation have been confirmed, and staffing ratios established, it is typically not possible to accommodate late additions. Changes after these arrangements are finalized may disrupt our planning. If you have any financial concerns regarding an excursion, we encourage you to reach out before the closing date to discuss potential options.
