School Photos

We are very excited to share that school photos have finally arrived and will be sent home with students at the end of the day tomorrow, Friday 2nd May.

If your child/children had any sports or special photos done, please send an email to Kim who will then provide you with the link and code required to order.

Mother's Day Stall

Good Shepherd Lutheran School’s Mothers’ Day stall is fast approaching. Our team is very excited to host this next week (week 2).

Please remember to send along small notes/coins - up to $10 for a gift for your child’s special someone - next Mon/Tues in a named bag for the teacher to store. Classes will visit either on Wednesday or Thursday next week.

We are very much looking forward to hosting the Mother’s Day Stall at Good Shepherd. It is such an exciting time for our children as they get to purchase some gifts for their Mum.

Thankyou,

Mother’s Day Organising Team

Scholastic Book Club

Scholastic Book Club Issue 3 catalogues have been sent home with students this week.

Scholastic apps are available to download for both Apple and Android devices to make ordering through the Loop system easier.

There is the option to mark your purchases as GIFTS. When these books arrive, you will be contacted directly, rather than books going home with students.

Please also note that some titles offered, differ from the Christian ethos followed by the school.

As cash orders are not accepted by the school, orders will need to be placed via LOOP by Thursday 8th May 2025.

Happy Reading Everyone!

ICAS Online Competitions

* * * Cut-off date for registration is July 14th so make sure you get in touch before that date if your child would like to participate * * *

Dear Stage 3 & 4 Parents/Caregivers,

Each year at Good Shepherd Lutheran School Para Vista, we offer an opportunity for our students to participate in the ICAS Online Competitions. These are academic competitions that give students the chance to test their higher order thinking and problem-solving skills in Digital Technologies, Maths, Science and Writing. These competitions will take place in August this year.

Participation is optional. This is an opportunity for students who wish to challenge and extend themselves.

If your child is interested in this opportunity, or if you have further questions, please get in touch with me via email (jared.grierson@gspv.sa.edu.au) or come see me in person. You can find me in the office near the library.
