LNPS Donation Box
Hello Students and Parents/Caregivers of LNPS. I am a former Lockleys North student seeking your help.
For a subject called the Community Project, I am required to design a project based on a need in the community. As I enjoy reading, my focus is on collecting reading supplies, such as fiction books and educational resources to help the less fortunate and disadvantaged groups in our community (locally and overseas) to improve education.
I am collecting for South Pacific School Aid and setting up collection points at LNPS in the Library and in the front office.
I will be collecting from this Friday, which is the 19th of August, to the 2nd of September
Extra details on donations are in the attached file below.
I hope the amazing LNPS school community can support this project and help me achieve my goal.
Thank you
Mia Karlis, Year 9 student at Immanuel College

Returns
Students can either place books they want to return in their classroom library box or directly into the green returns box in the Tirkandi library.
Overdue, Lost or Damaged Books
The school library policy for overdue, lost or damaged books is as followed. A library book that has been overdue / lost for 2 weeks or more or returned damaged, there will be a fee of $15. However, if the book is found or returned you will be reimbursed the full amount. Students will be unable to borrow until the book(s) are returned or the payment is made. The money goes towards replacing that book.
