From the Principal

Nurture Conference 

This will be short piece from me this week.  Phew, I hear you say!

I want to bring to your attention a unique opportunity that is before our school community.  It is the way the Christian Education National (CEN) Nurture Conference is being held.  This national event was in the planning stages Pre COVID-19.  Not surprisingly, COVID-19 has impacted how this event has been planned and will be delivered.

The LCS Board has made a commitment to support this conference for LCS parents.  When this conference has been held in other Australian states, LCS has sponsored one or two families to attend.  This confirms our school’s commitment to see this as a really valuable way to grow the collective understanding within our school parent body about the value of Christian Education to our own community.

Because Launceston is hosting this national event, we see it as the perfect opportunity to throw a similar financial resource, but with a highly multiplied effect, because we don’t need to pay for travel and accommodation, both things which have limited the quantity of opportunity we can provide to our parents.

So I want to make this never to be repeated offer to the LCS community, to parents who have children enrolled at LCS. 

Attendance at this conference will be FREE.  It includes a two course evening meal at the Tailrace Centre on Friday 4th September beginning at 7pm. The following day on Saturday 5th September, is a series of sessions delivered in an interactive, collaborative and informative way.  

These sessions will focus on the importance and impact and partnership that parents and Christian Schools engage in as we nurture our children in God’s ways. Two highly credentialed educators from Calvin Christian School will present, in person, addressing adolescent mental health.  This is such an important area for parents to be engaging in and working out strategies and collective understanding in how to help our young people in life.

If you would like to attend please contact our Community, Events & Marketing Coordinator, Tanya Socorro via the school office or email:  socorrot@lcs.tas.edu.au

Deadline for expressions of interest is Thursday 20th August.

We would love to see a large contingent of LCS parents at this ‘once in lifetime’ opportunity.  Please pray for the success of this event and that it will be one of those cultural markers for our community as we strive to provide the nurture and education for our emerging generations.   

Did I mention this is a FREE event for parents of LCS families?
