SCHOOL CROSSINGS

Please increase your awareness of student, staff and carer safety around the school at

both drop off and pick up times.

Students should be encouraged to use the supervised school crossing when crossing

Hague Street or Urana Road, to meet their parents.

Please do not call your child across the road at other areas, as this creates significant risk

of harm for all concerned.

A message from our Principal…

Good afternoon everyone,

…and just like that Week 7 is in the books! What an action packed year we are having!

Student reports are being compiled at the moment. I look forward to reading them all over the next

two weeks. Reports are a representation of learning and teaching for 20 weeks of school. I really

encourage you to read the report and have discussions with your child’s classroom teacher about

their progress. Above all, I would direct you to the ‘effort’ grade. We can all achieve our own

personal best, once we apply ourselves with our best effort. This is what I’ll be focusing on with my

three children, across all aspects of their school life.

There is an increasing number of students arriving to school before 8:30am. Active supervision of

children on site begins at 8:30am. While attendance at school is critical, if you need your child to be

at school prior to 8:30am, I encourage you to utilise our before school care.

are here before 7am in the morning, with sessions from as little as $3.50. Check it out.

Lastly, our staff carpark is becoming a little like Central Station! We have many services who require

to use the disabled parking spaces and loading zones. The staff carpark isn’t an area to drop

students off in the morning, it is a high traffic area. Please continue to use drop off and pick up zones

at the front of the school, or utilise the side streets and access our delightful

crossing staff.

FOCUS

Term 2

Week 8

Walk on paths

and hard

surfaces

See you all soon,

Brett

We look forward to

working with Leanne of

Carevan to support

our families.

Lavington Public

School is on board to

help out wherever we

can and there is a

great deal of

possibilities with this

service!

On the 23 and 24 May 2019, nine ATSI kids went to a Wiradjuri Language and

Culture Camp at Borambola.

When we arrived we were involved in a smoking ceremony - we had to collect

gum leaves and branches by asking the trees, we were brushed down by elders

and walked through the smoke.

We would like to thank Mel Walkerden for driving the bus, Kandeer SSP for

lending us the bus. Jannali was our mascot and we all loved cuddling her. We

would like to also thank Mrs Berndt for taking us.

We learn to count to 10 in Wiradjuri Language, make an axe, paint a mural,

weaving a rope or necklace, drawing your own land and present it to everyone

and looked at weapons with an elder.

SCHOOL SPORT

NSWPSSA Championships

As a Lavington Public School community we

would like to wish Ellie Lyons (Girls

Basketball) and Adrian Thapa (Open Rugby

League) all the best in their upcoming

carnivals.

Adrian is off to Sydney in Week 9, whereas

Ellie has the home court advantage as she

plays at Lauren Jackson Stadium, next

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. These

carnivals will no doubt be a highlight for

both Adrian and Ellie.

If you are an avid basketball fan, or just

someone interested in watching high

standard sport, head down and support

one of our students and our regional team

as they play against the best players from

across New South Wales.

Riverina Touch Football

Congratulations to Ella Semple who was selected in the girls Riverina Touch Football

team.

Ella and her team head off to sunny Mudgee next term for the NSWPSSA

championship.

This is a fantastic effort from Ella who will certainly be a key member of the team.

Well done Ella!

Albury Zone Athletics Champions

Congratulations to Adrian Thapa

(Senior Boys) and Ellie Lyons (11yrs

Girls) for both being crowned age

champions of the Albury Zone

Athletics carnival. This was the two-part

athletics event held recently at the Les

O’Brien Athletics precinct.

Adrian and Ellie will be presented with

their medals at tomorrow’s school

assembly.

The individual track and field results

from the carnival haven’t been sent

through yet, but we are expecting a

number of LPS athletes will be

attending the Riverina Carnival next

term.

Riverina Cross Country

Jordan Morris, Amelia Clark, Tarni Evett

and Finn McDonnell competed in the

Riverina Cross Country event in

Gundagai today.

Muddy shoes may have been the order

of the day for these talented long

distance runners.

We look forward to hearing about their

efforts when they return to school.

Albury Zone

Softball trials

Finn McDonnell and Ella Sem-

ple will be representing our

school at the upcoming boys

and girls Softball trials.

We would like to wish them
