Principal's Report

Welcome to term 4 everyone. Great to see everyone back at school after a relaxing spring break. We had a fabulous start to the term with our Bollywood extravaganza in week one. Everyone really embraced the opportunity to learn all about India and the seasons of the year through dance and music. Thank you to all parents and carers for supporting children by bringing them along to the concert and enjoying the fabulous evening. 

Fundraising Efforts

We are really pleased to announce that our recent Trivia Night raised $9231.00 which is an amazing effort. We are so grateful for the generosity shown towards our school by our community, families and LPS friends.  School Council have decided that funds raised will be spent in the following ways: supporting the purchase of new chrome books for the use of all students, much needed new library shelving for the class atrium area and the provision of a whole school experience for our students in 2024. The Lancefield Uniting Church have also very generously donated $2,500.00 this year to go towards our ICT purchases. This along with our fundraising efforts has really provided us with the opportunity to update our aging bank of chrome books.

Prep 2024

We are holding an information evening for our 2024 prep parents and carers on Wednesday 1st of November in the WMC from 6-7pm.

Finally, I have heard nothing but fabulous reports about our 5/6's on camp in Melbourne!
