Parent Code of Conduct
Attached to this newsletter is a copy of our Parent Code of Conduct. Please take time to read this. The code of conduct is relevant to all school activities including those that are held off the school grounds.
Lansdowne Little Learners
Our transition to school program ‘Lansdowne Little Learners’ will commence next term for students who start Kindergarten in 2022. The sessions will be held on Thursday mornings every fortnight in Term 3 and every week in Term 4. If you know of any families with children who will be starting school next year please let them know to contact the school.
Children’s University
Students in 3-6 have been provided with a Children’s University passport. These passports are used to record additional activities that students do outside of school hours. There will be an excursion to the Taree campus of Newcastle University on Thursday 24th June for students participating in the program. This excursion gives students the opportunity to see first hand the types of learning and careers that are available if you continue learning into university. There will be no cost for this excursion. We will require parents to help transport students to and from the campus. Permission notes will need to be returned to participate.
Head Lice
Please take the time to check your child's hair and treat if there is ANY evidence of head lice. There are a number of cases in both classes, please treat as soon as possible to stop the spread!
