Principal’s Report

New Resources

Staff have been busy organising the purchase of new furnishings and resources to support future focused learning at

Lismore Public School. The creation of interesting, inviting, flexible learning spaces is proven to improve student

outcomes. Along with the additional in class resources we are also developing a sensory playground and establishing a

professional learning space for staff and other agencies to use. We are all very excited about how our spaces will look and

the impact it will have on learning.

Uniform Pool

Stocks in our second hand uniform pool are very low in all sizes. If you have any surplus school shirts, shorts, culottes or

jumpers the school will gratefully accept donations.

Furniture surplus

The school has some extra furniture that has been in storage at the school for some time that we are looking to dispose of.

There are a variety of items including cupboards and tables. If you are in need of some additional storage or tables please

call in to the office and we can organise for you to have a look at what is available.

School Captain Speeches

We are at that time of the year again when students who are running for school captain, deliver their speeches prior to the

voting. I am very much looking forward to hearing our prospective school captains speak about how they feel about our

school and what improvements they would like to see. I wish them all the best of luck as they deliver their speeches and

remind them that although they will not all be elected, leadership takes a number of forms and all of our students are

leaders in their own way.

Have a wonderful week!!

Pre-school Excursion

On Thursday 25th October the LPS Junior Choir and a small group of Kindergarten students visited three local pre-schools

as part of the transition to school program. Miss Stephenson and Mr Hamilton accompanied the excursion to East Lismore

Community preschool, the Learning Cottage and Lismore preschool, where our students performed choir songs, read

books and explored the playgrounds with the younger children. This excursion enabled the preschool students an

opportunity to meet some LPS staff and learn about some of the exciting opportunities ahead of them at ‘big school’. All

students were excellent ambassadors for our school. A magic moment occurred at the first venue when the Junior Choir

started to sing ‘Imagine If’. They knew they were singing beautifully when the audience of about 40 preschool students

and all of the supervising staff fell silent and sat still. As the song continued people came from everywhere in the building

to hear their voices and see who had created this wonderful sound. Well done Junior Choir. Your commitment to learning

your songs and performing together is commendable. Mrs Cole - Teacher

Stage 3 Canberra Excursion

Students from our school will soon be undertaking an education tour of the national capital. Students will

be given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on Australia’s

history, culture, heritage and democracy. The Australian Government recognises the importance of all

young Australians being able to visit the national capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist families

in meeting the cost of the excursion the Australian Government is contributing funding of $60 per student under the

Parliament and Civics Education Rebate program towards those costs. The rebate is paid directly to the school upon

completion of the excursion.

K/1C Stories in Stitches

Throughout Term 3 Grace’s mum

Jenni has worked in the K/1C

classroom to create an amazing piece

of artwork with the students in the

class. Each student drew an image to

represent themselves and their family

and Jenni provided a variety of media

for the students to explore to

embellish their individual section. As

the students worked with Jenni they

were able to talk about their school

and home experiences. All members

of the class greatly appreciate the

imagination, creativity and care taken

to create such a unique masterpiece

to be displayed within the school.
