Introducing uEducateUs for 2027!

Lockington Consolidated School will be transitioning from XUNO to uEducateUs as our new School Management System in 2027.

uEducateUs will become our central platform for school communications, student information, payments and other important school-related updates.

We will provide families with further information in the coming weeks, including details on how to access the new system and set up their accounts.

We appreciate your support and patience as we make this transition and look forward to using uEducateUs to support communication between home and school.

Please keep an eye out for further information!

The Smile Squad free school dental program is coming to our school - Registration close TODAY!!

The Smile Squad team from Echuca Regional Health are coming to our school this term.

Smile Squad is the Victorian Government free school dental program.

This means ALL students can get a free dental check-up, preventive services, and treatment at school.

How to access free dental care

We need your consent before we can provide services. Consent is usually provided by a parent or guardian.

Please complete and submit the consent form by TODAY (Friday 30th October) if you would like your child/children to participate in the program.

Upcoming Pupil Free Days

We have two Pupil-Free Days coming up:

Monday 2nd November
Friday 20th November

Students will not attend school on these days, as our staff will be undertaking professional development and planning.

TheirCare will be available on both days for all-day care, subject to sufficient student numbers. If you require care for your child, please make a booking through TheirCare 1300 072 410.

Please make note of these dates and arrange care for your child/children if required.

Canteen Volunteers

We would love some more people to volunteer for our canteen roster. Our canteen runs at lunchtimes on Monday, Thursday and Friday. The rostered persons prepare and heat the ordered items and package them to be delivered to the classrooms. Most volunteers arrive at 12pm and are done and dusted by 2pm. You do not have to be available every week, you can just put your name down to help a couple of times a term. If you are able to give us a hand please contact the office on 5486 2474.

We have a growing number of unexplained absences....

Did you know it is a legal requirement for parents to supply an explanation for their child’s absence from school.

Please check your XUNO dashboard to ensure all unexplained / unapproved absences have been addressed.

Refer to the step by step instruction guide attached for more information.

FAMILY HOLIDAYS REMINDER

If your family is planning a holiday during the school term, parents must notify Principal Lisa Duffy via email at lisa.duffy@education.vic.gov.au to seek approval.

Please ensure notification is provided before your holiday. If the school has not received notification, your child’s absence will be recorded as Parent Choice – Unauthorised..

That is all for this week, Lisa Lind
