IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Welcome to Semester Two

Dear families, welcome back! After a successful start to the school year, and a thoroughly deserved break for our students and staff members, we are looking forward to beginning the second half of the year in a positive fashion with students demonstrating our LNPS School Values and Learner Qualities. 

We have a jam-packed final two terms of learning for our students in Fisher, as well as many special events being sprinkled through Term 3 and Term 4. It's going to be a very exciting second half of the year! 

Our Fisher team work closely together, collaborating on all areas of the curriculum and the well-being of our students.  If you have any questions, concerns or would like to arrange a meeting, you may contact us via the email addresses below. 

You can find the digital handbook here: 

Our school values of Respect, Honesty, Pursuit of Excellence and Care and Concern underpin all expectations at LNPS. The ultimate goal is for LNPS students to exhibit characteristics of successful learners. Students who are continually aiming high, knowing what they are learning, what success looks like, and acting upon feedback.
