Calendar for Diversity
At LPS we acknowledge that our community is made of families from many diverse faiths. We acknowledge the following important commemorations, celebrations, national days, international days and religious observances that will be celebrated in the coming weeks by our families.
Through acknowledgment and celebration of these days and events, LPS contributes to social harmony between students, staff and community members from the range of cultural, linguistic and religious traditions of Australians.
