Aurora College Year 5 Opportunity Class trial
Last term we were lucky enough to be accepted into the Aurora College Pilot program for Year 5 opportunity classes. Six students
took part in the application process and we had 4 students accepted into this program. Currently the closest opportunity class is
located in Wagga. Having students able to access the Aurora College class gives all students the ability to access such a class no
matter where they are located in NSW.
What are opportunity classes?
Opportunity classes located in government primary schools cater for highly achieving Year 5 and Year 6 academically gifted
students. These classes help gifted and talented students to learn by grouping them with other gifted and talented students
and using specialised teaching methods and educational materials at the appropriate level.
This Week at LPS
KROP Rehearsals
On Wednesday our Stage 3 Dance Group will also be in Griffith to take part in KROP rehearsals. KROP (Kids Rapt On Performing)
will take place in Education week (Thursday August 8 and Friday August 9) at the Griffith Regional Theatre.

This term we are implementing the Peer Support Program at Leeton Public School. The Peer Support Program is a skills based
program that encourages peer connections throughout the school and assists students in developing practical skills to enhance
social and emotional wellbeing, resilience, optimism, assertiveness, decision making, problem solving and leadership.
Year 6 students take part in a 2 day leadership training program facilitated by Mrs Catherine Tabain and Stage 3 teachers next Thursday and Friday. Peer Leader’s Training includes activities and discussion to assist in the development of skills in:
relationship building
communication
empathy
decision making
problem solving
reflection

planning
group management Paired Peer Leaders, supervised by a teacher, then co facilitate structured activities with multi-aged groups of approximately 8-10 students from Kindergarten to Year 5. These sessions will commence next week. Briefing and debriefing sessions, led by teachers, take place before and after each session. Modules consist of 30 minute sessions, conducted once a week for a term. Modules focus on:
