🌲 Inclusive Garden Area Photo Update 🌲

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

To support the Leader in Me Journey our school will be conducting a survey to learn more about key areas of strength and areas of further development in our school. The data from this survey will also help us track the impacts of the Leader in Me process and implement key practices more fully. For us to have a holistic picture of what is going on in our school, we are asking all staff members, parents/guardians, and students to participate in the survey.

For parents and carers, the survey window is now open and will close on Friday 25th of August.

The parent and carer survey is anonymous and takes about 5 to 10 minutes to complete. You will respond to questions about your child and about his or her experience in our school. If you have more than one child attending the school, you will be asked to think about the oldest child’s experiences as you respond, related to his or her growth.

Please use the link below to complete the survey: https://www.leaderinme.com/s/le-page-primary-school/families

We are very excited to announce that we have been given grant funds from Terry White Chemmart Cheltenham to help us purchase a defibrillator for our school.

Did you know that having access to a defibrillator within the first few minutes of a Sudden Cardiac Arrest increases the chance of survival to over 70%

Having a defibrillator at Le Page PS is such a precious resource or our school community.

A massive thank you to Terry White Chemist for their generous donation. Please be sure to pop in to the store to thank them 💚💙
