☀️ SunSmart Reminder: Hats Required from the 1st September (next week!)

As we move into the warmer months, we would like to remind families that hats are required at school from September 1st, in line with our SunSmart Policy.

As a SunSmart school, we are committed to promoting healthy sun protection habits. From September 1st, students will be expected to wear their school hat when outside during break times, Physical Education and other outdoor activities.

Please ensure your child has a clearly labelled school hat ready for the beginning of September. Students who do not have a hat will be required to remain in a designated shaded area when outdoors, in accordance with our SunSmart practices.

Thank you for your support in helping us keep our students safe while enjoying the warmer weather.

🤝 Keeping Our School Community Safe and Respectful - Communication in the Yard

We ask that parents and carers please do not approach or have conversations with children other than their own while on school grounds, including during yard time.

If you have a concern involving another student, please do not address the child directly. Instead, raise the concern with the yard duty teacher or your child’s classroom teacher, who can follow the appropriate processes and support the students involved.

This approach helps ensure that all students feel safe and supported at school and that concerns are managed by staff in a fair, consistent and appropriate way.

Thank you for your understanding and for working with us to maintain a respectful and safe environment for all of our students.

Real Support Right Now

The Victorian Government has policies and programs in schools to help your family with the cost of living. 

School Breakfast Clubs:

At LPPS we offer breakfast club to students on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:30-8:50am. Options include toast, fruit cups, fresh fruit, milk and popcorn.

More Affordable Uniforms:

From 2026, uniforms at Victorian public schools with a dress code cannot include school logos on pants, shorts, skirts, skorts, leggings or socks. This helps reduce uniform costs for families.

At LPPS we have regular second hand uniform stalls, to help families with the cost of uniforms. Prices for items are $5 or $10. Keep a look out on compass and in the newsletter for dates.

Please speak to our Wellbeing Team for support if you are having difficulty with the cost of school uniforms.

Glasses for Kids:

The Glasses for Kids program offers free vision screening for Prep to Grade 3 students. Students can also get further free vision testing and glasses if they need them.

Getting glasses through the Glasses for Kids program can help your child to see better. This makes it easier for them to learn, read and play at school. Good vision helps children do their best in class and feel more confident every day.

The program is optional and parental consent is required before students take part.

Families will be notifed when the program will be at LPPS.
