Positive Vibes Festival

An amazing group of Year 8 students, our Youth Summit Team, organised the recent Positive Vibes Festival here at LHS.  The event was to promote positive mindset, healthy living and being yourself.

 

A very big congratulations to the students who took this project from its inception to implementation, it was yet again another example of what our students are capable of when given the opportunity and support, congratulations once again to the following students;

 

  • Brianna Birthisel - Mulready
  • Lara Brobbel
  • Sarah Davies Mariah Derkson
  • Emily Gerdes
  • Zachary Hoiles
  • Alex Lamport
  • Celine Nash
  • Tyler Swann
  • Sienna Wyatt
  • Jamie Young

Thanks also to the wellbeing staff who supported the students in organising this event – great job!

Mobile Phone Policy

Over the years we have maintained the 'Mobile Phone Policy' that bans the use of phones whilst at school. Our focus is on learning and social interactions without the use of phones.

 

In the case of emergencies, staff must be able to discharge their duty of care according to department guidelines i.e; 'Whilst students are at school they are in the care of school staff, when there is an issue or emergency at school it is incumbent upon staff to be able to deal with it.'.

 

This is sometimes difficult when students directly contact parents rather than speaking with Co-ordinators who are always happy to call parents for the student concerned.

 

Please don’t encourage your child to contact you during school hours – any student who is in need of assistance for any reason, must report to the Sub School Offices. In the case of medical issues, students must report to Sick Bay.

 

Thank you for your assistance with this in advance.

Year 12 students

As the academic year draws to a close for our Year 12 students, I would like to encourage everyone to take advantage of the 'Master Classes'  on offer over the break, plan study time carefully and importantly, take some time to rest and recharge after a long term. 

End of Term 3

Please have a safe and restful break, we look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Monday October 9.
