Term 3

Reflecting on another busy term at LNPS we have engaged in lots of exciting events and achieved many successes. Throughout the term our students participated in various excursions and incursions, where they were able to build upon the learning at school and make connections with the world around them.

Just some of the amazing experiences students engaged in were:

Visit to Ayers House,
The Arts Theatre
Egyptian Gallery at the SA Museum
Golf Excursion to Kooyonga
Swimming
DanceFIT
Cricket Clinic
Bike-Ed
Book Week
Science Week
German Folk Dancing
Festival Of Music Choir Performance
Torrens and Fisher camps and many more

Term 4 is looking to be another busy time for the LNPS staff and students. We are very excited about our Community Night where students will be exhibiting their entrepreneurial skills through games and business ideas.

Wishing everyone a safe and relaxing holiday!
