Term 3 Parent Education Evening

Last term we had the great pleasure of hosting Bill Hansberry from Hansberry Educational Consulting.  Bill presented a highly informative and engaging session on 'Raising Kids with grit: being the Best Resilience Coach for your Kids so they can navigate life's ups and downs'. 

 

Next term on Wednesday 2nd September Bill will be presenting the following workshops as identified by the Education Committee.

Please add this date to your calendar so you don't miss this opportunity to hear from a highly renowned education expert. 

 

Registrations  will be available early next term.

Premier's Be Active Challenge Update

 Children at Lockleys North Primary School have been busy keeping physically active in this uncertain time, participating in school events such as Virtual Cross Country and resuming after school sport whether it be competitive, social or for leisure. Congratulations to all the students who have returned their PBAC booklets to school. Don’t worry if you haven’t because there is still plenty of time. Why not get started recording your physical activity this coming holidays?

The Challenge

The challenge is to participate in at least 60 minutes of physical activity on at least 5 days of the week for at least 4 weeks. After 4 weeks of daily recorded physical activity children will receive a medal. Simply record your progress on the booklet provided, sign and return your registration form to the front office. The Challenge finishes on the 27th September 2020, so there is still time.  

Virtual Cross Country Update

School Sport SA received over 10,000 entries from over 200 schools with Lockleys North contributing 335 entries. What a great achievement for all our students!  For a summary of results please visit the website

School Sport SA at Home

Due to varied courses and weather conditions from schools, times cannot be compared between students. A summary of the fastest times per age category and distance can be found on the website. Children aged 9 years and under have not been included as these age categories were participation only.

Students will receive a certificate this week to celebrate their persistence and determination of this very successful event.
