Important Reminders

All important dates and events are on our Compass Calendar, please check the calendar regularly to stay up to date!

Students are required to bring their take-home bags to school daily. This will be used to send home notices, student work and take-home books.
Please name all of your child's items. Students often misplace them and if there are no names, your child's items cannot be returned. We are also trying to develop your child's independence. We have had discussions with the children about picking up hats when they fall off and placing school jumpers back in bags. If your child loses one of their items, please check lost property, which is located opposite the first aid room.
Preps will be attending school assembly from Friday 16th February at 2.45pm in the school gym.

Learning in Action

What a fabulous start to school we have had, a big step for both students and families! To help support students with this step, we begin the year with a whole school program called ‘Head Start.’ This program assists students to settle into school with a focus on student wellbeing, developing relationships and learning school expectations and routines.

Here are some things that we have covered so far:

LPS school rules
Name writing
How to be a bucket filler
Whole body listening
Growth mindset
Workbook expectations
Whole class games
Yoga and meditation
Maths collaborative games
Recognising and naming emotions
Classroom and School Tours

In addition to all of this, students were introduced to our phonics program ‘Little Learners Love Literacy’. Each week students will meet new characters to learn new letter names and sounds. This week we met Milo the Monkey, whilst learning about the letter M. We loved making our very own monkey craft and drawing items that start with the /m/ sound.

Preview: We will continue settling into school routines with a growing focus on literacy and numeracy.
