Book Fair and Book Week
Book Week is coming up fast! During Book Week, there will be activities running in the library at lunchtime as well as the costume parade at the EY assembly on Friday August 23rd.
We can’t wait to see everyone dressed up as their favourite book characters!
Alongside Book Week, the Scholastic Book Fair will be on in the EY staffroom from August 20 – 27th. This is a great opportunity to grab some wonderful books while supporting the school. The school earns up to 30% of the total sales which goes towards new books and resources for everyone to enjoy!
Book Fair opening times:
Tuesday 20th: 3:00 pm – 3:45 pm
Wednesday 21st – Mon 26th: 8:30-9:00 am and 3:00-3:45 pm

We hope to see you there!

Sentral Parent Portal Access
The Sentral Parent Portal is the primary method for home-school communications at The Lakes.
We are excited to say that most families have access to the Parent Portal. The portal allows students and parents\carers to keep up to date with important information and communication. This includes student academic reports, parent-teacher interview bookings and permission for students to attend camps, sport and excursions.
The Student and Parent Portal can be accessed at school, from home and from mobile devices. To assist families without internet facilities at home, The Lakes has installed mobile technology devices into both the EY and MY offices for families to access.
If you are experiencing any issues with Sentral, please contact either office to assist you.
