School News
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!
