Lakeside Students RISE Up
As part of our endeavours to acknowledge and highlight positive behaviour, we present RISE Awards at Flag Assembly each Monday. RISE is an acronym for Resilience, Integrity, Service and Empathy. Each teacher identifies one student who has made a concerted effort to display the attribute of the week. This might be someone who exemplifies it readily, or it might be given to someone who has worked hard to really improve themselves in that area. These are our key character traits for the Primary School which help to reinforce our school behaviour expectations.
R - Resilience
I - Integrity
S - Service
E - Empathy
Parents are welcome to attend our Flag Assemblies, held on the Primary basketball court.

Primary Artists Bring Keith Haring’s Spirit to Life in Collaborative Mural
This year, our talented primary students dove into the bold, energetic world of Keith Haring, a renowned artist known for his vibrant figures and messages of love, unity and social connection.
Under the guidance of Ms Vaughan, students across all year levels explored Haring’s signature style — bright colours, thick black outlines and powerful symbolism. When it came time to design a mural together, everyone had a voice: students were invited to contribute ideas around the themes of love, family, faith and heart.
Inspired by the students' suggestions, Ms Vaughan sketched out a mural that captured these shared values in the unmistakable Haring style. From there, the real magic began. Each grade helped choose colours for different elements of the design, ensuring the mural became a true reflection of the whole school community.
Lunchtimes at the Art Club and early-finishers' sessions were filled with excitement and teamwork as students helped paint the mural, section by section. Over several months, layers of colour and creativity came together — and at last, the mural was complete.
You’ll now find this stunning artwork proudly displayed just outside our Arts Building — a joyful reminder of what we can create when we work together.
A huge thank you to all our primary students for their imagination, dedication and collaboration. We can’t wait to see what our next big creative adventure will be!
