Principal’s Report Easter Hat Parade It was wonderful to see my first annual Easter Hat Parade at Lane Cove Public School. Seeing students in Kindergarten and Years 1 and 2, accompanied by their buddies in Years 5 and 6, parading around Lane Cove Plaza, being watched and applauded by so many parents, grandparents and members of the public was truly inspiring. What an outstanding tradition this is. Many thanks to Ms Przybylski for organising the event. Tennis Congratulations to our tennis team of Zoe N., Daniel M., Yvette V. and Jonash D for their success against Narraweena Public School last week. Please see Ms Sutton’s report later in the Loop for more details. Reminders: Communications Protocols A couple of weeks ago I outlined appropriate means of communication between parents and the school and a copy of our new communications protocols was included in the Loop. A copy of the protocols is included again in this week’s edition. Please familiarise yourself with this document. Car Parks A reminder to all students and parents to avoid the school car parks for pedestrian access when entering and leaving the school. This is an unacceptably dangerous practice and there was a near miss last week. The car parks are only to be accessed by school staff. Please use the several pedestrian access points provided on Longueville Road and Austin Street when entering and leaving the school. School Cross Country Students in Years 3-6 will participate in the school’s cross country carnival at Pottery Green this Thursday 5 April, commencing around 9.30 am.

Honour Assembly Honour assemblies for Term 1 will be held in the school hall on Friday 13 April. Students who have been excelling this term in the Key Learning Area of English will be acknowledged. Coles Sports for Schools Program Lane Cove Public School has a box in store at Coles Lane Cove as part of the Coles Sports for Schools Program. If you shop at Coles please put your vouchers into the LCPS box. Terry McKinnon Principal Tennis News Members of the Lane Cove tennis team had a convincing win against Narraweena Public School in the first round of the State Knockout Competition which was played at Narraweena last week. The final score was 6 set to 2 sets and 39 games to 22 games. All players gave their best effort and displayed excellent sportsmanship. The next round will be against Artarmon Public School with Lane Cove being the home team. Congratulations to Zoe N., Daniel M., Yvette V. and Jonash D. Sue Sutton ~ Tennis Co-ordinator

Plans for Music Camp 2018 are well under way for those with children in the year 3-6 groups, i.e. SCB, CB, TB, SSE, ISE, JSE (year 3 and above), SG & IG and CBG (year 3 and above). Music this year will be held at Wesley Vision Valley in Arcadia from 3-5th June. Registration forms were emailed to parents over the Easter weekend, so please check your email. If you haven’t received the forms or encounter any problems, please email us. Camp is a valuable part of the musical journey and if you are in one of the above groups it is expected that your child will attend unless there are extenuating circumstances. We understand it is the first time away for some year 3s, but it is a great experience with not only 9 hours of intensive music tutoring but loads of fun activities and a great time away with friends. We appreciate parental support to make sure the camp is well attended and full groups are available for intense learning opportunities.
There is a team of parent volunteers already hard at work for preparing a fantastic camp. And now the opportunity exists for you to assist too! A sign up for parent volunteers has been created at:http://signup.com/go/qDNJTZF We are in special need for a volunteer medical assistant. Our wonderful ‘On Duty Nurse’, Amanda Liddell, who has assisted for many years, will be travelling on her last Music Camp this year. We are looking for someone to assist her. Anyone interested please contact us at the above signup address. If you have any questions or concerns, please email at the dedicated email address: [email protected]

Lane Cove Public School Communication Protocols MARCH 2018
Lane Cove Public School is committed to a partnership with parents in the education of their children. Lane Cove Public School will meet its commitment to engaging in successful communication through providing open and transparent information about all our programs and procedures. These protocols outline the communication responsibilities for teachers, students and parents to share information pertaining to the education of students and to the community life of the school.
Principles of Communication at Lane Cove Public School
The objective of communication between parents and the school is always to arrive at an outcome which enhances the learning opportunities of our students. At Lane Cove Public School we expect and understand that everyone will, in any form of communication, adhere to a respectful and dignified manner at all times. In adhering to these principles we aim to strengthen the positive partnership between parents and the school, to enhance the wellbeing of students and to provide quality educational outcomes.
Lane Cove Public School Communication Channels
Newsletter (Loop)/Skoolbag/School Website/Permission and Information Notes/telephone/email/interviews/Parents e-directory
Teachers’ Responsibilities in Communicating with Parents
• Teachers will respond to parental enquiries by phone or email. This should be prompt – usually within forty-eight hours (school days).
• Teachers will contact parents if they have concerns for a student’s academic progress or welfare. • Teachers will distribute notices and information to parents or upload information to the Skoolbag before a
notice is required to be signed and returned to school. • Teachers will ensure notices are sent to the office so office staff know what is happening in the school and can
upload the notices to the website. • When a concern arises, teachers will seek advice from the appropriate supervisor and contact parents
as appropriate. • If needed, a teacher will ask parents to attend a meeting with the student and supervisor to seek clarification or
resolution or to establish a plan of support for the student. • When requesting a meeting teachers should briefly state the reason for the meeting request. • If the matter is in need of further discussion or resolution the assistance of a member of the Senior Executive will
be sought.
Parents and Guardians’ Responsibilities in Communicating with the School • Ensure contact details are always up to date with the school office. • Register with Skoolbag and subscribe to receive relevant notifications for their child/children. • Support their child/children to establish routines around daily procedures for their communication between
home and school (eg checking bags for notes and listening to announcements). • Sign in at the office when they visit. • Inform the school of the reason for their child’s absence via email or send an explanation note to the class
teacher within 2 days of their child returning to school. • When a concern or query arises about their child’s academic performance or welfare, parents should
communicate with the classroom teacher or other teacher (EALD, RFF, Learning Support) in the first instance by phone or email (if teacher email is unknown then use the school email).
• Because of the difficulties of arranging interviews for teachers in a timetabled teaching day, parents are requested to seek a mutually convenient meeting time with the staff member involved.
• When requesting a meeting parents should briefly state the reason for the meeting request. • If the matter remains unresolved, parents should advise the teacher that they would like a further meeting on the
matter with the appropriate supervisor. • If the matter is in need of further resolution the assistance of a member of the Senior Executive will be sought. • Parents are urged to regularly seek information from the established channels of communication prior to contacting
the teacher or the school.
