Welcome to Middle School

Middle School welcomes back all of the returning students and we hope that NEW students to LHS are settling in to their new surrounds. 

We are looking forward to a very enjoyable and productive year in Middle School.

A reminder to all students, please make sure you are wearing the correct school uniform every day (maroon pullover, white socks, black polishable school shoes) and NO FACIAL piercings. This includes clear piercings.

Mobile phones must be kept locked in lockers at all times throughout the school day. 

Sanctions will apply for any student using their mobile phone whilst at school, wearing the incorrect uniform (without a note from a parent/carer) or wearing a facial piercing.

Parents and carers, if you need to contact your child throughout the day please contact the Middle School Office and a message will be forwarded to your child.

S and N Policy 

Although it is early in the school year, we would like to give all parents/carers and students a reminder of the School’s S and N policy.

We expect all students are:

• punctual to class
• be prepared with books and resources
• be positive and have a ‘can do’ attitude
• be persistent and not give up easily
• complete and submit all of the work set
• complete assessments
• and complete and submit all homework

Charge Your Device

A friendly reminder to students to make sure that devices are fully charged when they come to school.  Your device is a really important learning tool that should be ready to use every day.

Student Absences

It is DEECD (Department of Education and Early Childhood Development) policy that all student absences are accounted for.

If your child is absent, there are several ways to assist us to fulfil our legal obligations and approve any outstanding absences by:   

• Logging in to Compass to approve an absence
• Calling the Middle School Absence Line
• Providing a note to the Home Group teacher or Middle School Office

If it is expected that your child will be away for more than two days, please communicate this with the Middle School Office.

Parents and carers guardians who may have forgotten their Compass username and password, can contact Lauren Kelso in the Middle School Office.
