Wellbeing 2021
Mike Tarleton - Assistant Principal - Wellbeing & Engagement
Aussie of the Month
Being able to focus on the positives is something that we all need to focus on! We have many wonderful students at Lockleys North who consistently demonstrate our school values of RESPECT - CARE & CONCERN - HONESTY - PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE.
On Friday, it was with great pride that we announced our first Aussie of the Month for 2021 with our exceptional recipient being Yana from Fisher 15.
During the past couple of years, Yana has dedicated her lunch times every day to ensure the success of the Active Lunch initiative. She demonstrates a high level of respect for herself, her peers and the adults she interacts with on a daily basis.
Yana is a natural leader who consistently demonstrates our school values. She is a great asset to our school community as she is always willing to lend a hand to others and goes above and beyond in her volunteering roles. J Martin
Congratulations to Yana - we are all very proud of you and know that your family are too! Yana receives our RESPECT patch which she will proudly wear on her uniform. We now have loads of other LNPS citizens that can be nominated for this prestigious award.
Families and Educators are encouraged to make nominations for Aussie of the Month. Please contact our educators with your testimonial for an LNPS student who you think goes above and beyond in championing our school values. Teachers and leadership will consider all nominations before awarding our next Aussie of the Month.

Reader's Theatre
This week we have some wonderful Year 4/5 students presenting children's books to our Reception students and many others too!
The Gruffalo was on stage at recess on Tuesday, one of my absolute favourite books! Well done to Arly, Sibella, Beau, Levi and the amazing Jemma who did a wonderful job being the Gruffalo!
We'd like to get our teachers involved in performing a book this year and wish to extend this offer to our parents and grandparents - if you have a favourite book that you like to read to young children and have time to pop in for recess (10:45-11:00), please send me an email...

Pastoral Care
Hello everyone
Can you believe how quickly this term is going?
For the new families at the school my name is Coralie and I have been at Lockleys North for just over a year. I am a married with 1 adult son. I love to read, watch movies, trail run and eat (not necessarily in that order!)
My role is to offer pastoral (wellbeing) and practical support to the school and I’m part of the Wellbeing team. I am an extra resource working alongside teachers in the classroom and also supporting extracurricular activities and events. I work with students either in the classroom or one-on-one as necessary, primarily helping with setting up strategies around behaviour and social issues (fitting in, friendships, bullying) I am also available for the children if they have a problem they need to talk to someone about.
Another part of my role is to support parents/caregivers. If you need access to services but don’t know where to start I can help you with that. I also love to have a chat and get to know people. I have loved being able to meet some of you this year now that Covid restrictions have been lifted.
I am at school Tuesday and Wednesday 8.30-1.30. Please feel free to come and introduce yourself if you see me around. You can find me in the yard, usually around the Fisher building gate, before school most mornings wearing a purple vest. Any other time please leave a message with the front office and I will get back to you soon as I am available to do so. If your child would like to talk to me they can ask their teacher or front office staff to contact me. I am also in the yard most break times.
Be safe and look out for each other!

Pastoral Care Worker
