From the Principal

Dear LPS Families and Friends,

In schools the terms go by very quickly as there is always a lot going on, however term 2 and 3 seem to be much busier with student events than the others. We are very conscious that student events often come with additional costs for families and that this can put a strain on families. If you have concerns about making payments for excursions, incursions and camps don't hesitate to contact Cath Campion, our Business Manager, so we can support you where possible.

Over the remainder of this term, we will release the costs for school camps to families, these are without doubt the most expensive student events. At the end of 2022 we surveyed families about the make-up of our school camps and also the cost, we have tried to remain within the guidance families gave at the time. At the end of this year we will reach out again to get your feedback and adjust accordingly. With camps booked about 2 years in advance, it is difficult for us to act quickly with regards to change but we will continue to do our best respond to the needs of our community.

Family Engagement

At Lysterfield Primary School we value the connection and input of our parent community, we are all part of the Pegasus Family. We believe a connected and engaged school community is essential to delivering the best possible learning and wellbeing outcomes for students.  As such, we are looking to enhance opportunities for parents to connect and engage with the school community and we would like your input.

Below is a survey that investigates 3 areas: Social Sustainability, Impactful Engagement and Connected Community

We would like to know:

- Your needs in supporting your child with their learning, health and wellbeing?

- How our school can support you with your own health and wellbeing? 

- In what ways we could better connect our parent community?
