Welcome to Middle School
The Middle School Coordination team welcomes back all students, and we hope that our NEW students to LHS are settling into their new surrounds.
Year 9 and 10 students are welcome to come into the Middle School Office and discuss any queries or concerns they may have.
We have sporting equipment and games for students to borrow during recess and lunch.
Parents and Carers, if you wish to meet with a Year 9 or 10 Coordinator, it is recommended to call first to make an appointment.
We look forward to a very enjoyable and productive year in Middle School.
Celebrating student Achievements
During 2023, if there is an achievement that happens in your child's life outside of school (sporting achievements, musical successes etc), please let us know, as we would like to acknowledge their success.

Important Reminders for
Year 9 and 10 students
Students are required to wear correct school uniform every day, including travelling to and from school (Eg maroon pullover, white socks, black polishable school shoes).
As per the school uniform policy, students are not to wear any facial piercings. This includes clear piercings.
Mobile phones must be kept locked in lockers, at all times throughout the school day.
Sanctions will apply for any student using their mobile phone whilst at school, wearing the incorrect uniform (without a note from a parent/carer) or wearing a facial piercing.
Chromebooks are to be fully charged before arriving at school.
Parents and carers, if you need to contact your child throughout the day, please contact the Middle School Office and a message will be given to your child.
S and N Policy
Although it is early in the school year, we would like to give all parents/carers and Year 9 and 10 students a reminder of the School’s S and N policy.
We expect that all students are:
- punctual to class
- be prepared with books and resources
- be positive and have a ‘can do’ attitude
- be persistent and not give up easily
- complete and submit all of the work set
- complete assessments
- and complete and submit all homework
Unexplained Student Absences
We ask that parents and carers please check their Compass Parent Portal and approve any unexplained absences your child may have this term.
If it is expected that your child will be away for more than two days (illness, holiday, medical appointments etc), please communicate this with the Middle School Office.
Parent/Carer Compass passwords can be reset by contacting Lauren Kelso in the Middle School Office.
