Welcome to Middle School

We look forward to a very enjoyable and productive year for all students.

The Middle School Office has an open-door policy and students are welcome to come in and discuss any queries or concerns they may have.  

We hope all students are enjoying Year 9 and 10 so far and that our new students to LHS are settling into their new surrounds and making friends. 

We are always happy to meet with parents and carers to discuss any concerns or queries. If you wish to meet with a Year 9 or 10 Coordinator, it is recommended to call first to make an appointment.

We have sporting equipment for students to borrow during recess and lunch and a number of lunchtime activities for students to participate in.

The play was put together by the students for the students and was thoroughly enjoyed by the Year 8 audience.

Arrive to SCHOOL on TIME

Students should be arriving at school no later than 8.30 am. This gives them time to put bags in lockers and organise their books for Periods 1 and 2.

Students who arrive late to school are REQUIRED tosign in at the Middle School Office before going to class.
