2014 Festival of Music
On Saturday night Cheryl Barker, Lauren Ireland and I had the pleasure of attending the Festival of Music to see 20 students from across years 5,6 and 7 perform. It was a wonderful evening and our students represented LNPS to an extremely high standard. Our students were rated highly at audition and were chosen to sit in the back row due the quality of their singing. Thank you to those parents who attended to support the school and well done to all the students who performed. I encourage any students in years 5,6 or 7 to be involved in the choir in 2015.

She has a great understanding of the school and this will enbale a smooth change over. We are also hopeful that we will be able to have Sue stay on for all of Term 4.
