Site Open - Modified Education Program – 1 July 2019
Dear Families
I am writing to inform you that [this site] will be open but providing a modified
education program for the whole of the school day on Monday 1 July 2019 due
to a vote for industrial action by members of the Australian Education Union at
this site.
The Education Director has approved the provision of a modified program on the
grounds that there will be sufficient staff on duty to enable me as Principal to
ensure that adequate standards of children/student safety and welfare can be
provided.
Families can send their children to the site as normal. Modified education
programs will be provided to students for the whole of the school day. This
means that groups of students will be supervised but regular classes will not
take place.
To assist with the organisation of groups for the day, we ask R-1 students to
meet Bev Jones and Ashlee Eyles in Class 2 (Beck & Bev’s classroom) at the
start of the day.
Year 2-7 students will meet staff in the gym first thing. TRTs will not be
employed to cover classes.
Before and after school OSHC services will operate as normal but bookings are
essential ph 0403 605 975 .
Normal education programs will resume on Tuesday 2 July 2019.
Public education is important and makes a huge difference in our students
lives. Your child’s teachers are hardworking professionals taking action to
improve learning conditions for all students. Please contact the school if you
have any questions regarding this information
Thank you for your support,
Toni Burford
Principal

Wellbeing Groups Wellbeing groups have begun and our ambassadors have successfully run their first lesson. This
lesson derived from World Meditation day and promoted self-care. Year 7 wellbeing ambassadors
actioned a meditation lesson to their groups and began to build upon positive relationships with
peers of various ages. Moving forward Wellbeing groups will take an anti-bullying stance to ensure a whole school
approach to safety and belonging. Ambassadors reviewed LPS Wellbeing Collection Data and shared their (student)
voices on issues within the school environment they felt were of importance. Ambassadors are utilising the new
Department for Education wellbeing toolkit VoiceIt to plan and action their lessons. The outcome of Wellbeing groups
is to enhance and strengthen Wellbeing and health promotion at an individual and community level. Year 7
Outcomes relating to the Australian Curriculum (Health & Physical Education):
Investigate and select strategies to promote health, safety and wellbeing (ACPPS073)
Analyse factors that influence emotions, and develop strategies to demonstrate empathy and sensitivity
(ACPPS075)
Plan and use health practices, behaviours and resources to enhance health, safety and wellbeing of their
communities (ACPPS077)
We are so excited to be inviting Mark Le Messurier back to Lobethal Primary School.
The response to his last Parent Workshop was outstanding and families and staff took
away valuable skills and strategies. Mark is a Counsellor, Mentor and Educator Parent
Coach whose programs are taught within Universities worldwide and his philosophy around behaviour and social
skills is largely practiced by schools and families’ nationwide. Through workshops Mark offers healthy and engaging
ideas to bring about helpful and achievable strategies for behaviour changes in all children, particularly those with
behaviours deemed a little tougher than others. Mark also provides opportunities for conversations and questions.
This time we are peeling it back a layer, as requested by parents/carers, and will be focusing on strategies in the
workshop:
SETTING UP FOR SUCCESS SERIES – REAL ideas to tame ugly behaviours.

Friday Foodies
Just recently we had both girls and boys head out of class to compete in Knockout Footy and Netball Competitions.
The girls headed off to Birdwood where they played 3 games – they had 2 wins against Lobethal Lutheran and
Kersbrook but then were defeated by Birdwood which meant they are now out of the competition. Big thanks to
Tess for umpiring for us. The girls showed great sportsmanship and had fun experimenting in lots of different
positions on the day.
The boys combined with Lenswood Primary School and headed down to the Lobethal Oval where they had 2 games
to play. First one was against St Michaels where the boys had a great win then we came up against Birdwood/
Gumeracha and unfortunately they were much better on the day. This also meant we are now out of the
competition. Big thanks to Dick Kleemann for his expert coaching on the day as well as Kerri Tilbrook for organising
guernseys and change rooms for the boys to use. The boys also showed great team work and sportsmanship
Knock out Netball/Football
We are so excited to be partnering up with St Vinnies to extend our support for those in need, particularly
during the freezing winter. As a school we want to encourage and seek support through our local
community to ensure we can truly make an impact to those who are less fortunate and have limited
access to the necessities in life. Please keep an eye and ear out for posters and student conversations in
the next week and throughout Term 3. We are organising a collection bin for good quality clothing,
household items, toys, books, blankets etc, we will also be organising boxes to collect non-perishable
foods.
The Year 7 Wellbeing Ambassadors will be creating fliers in week 10 to distribute to stores along the main
street of Lobethal early term 3. These fliers will communicate an organised clothing/food drive that
students will then collect as part of the wellbeing lessons. Throughout Term 3 we will be hosting
fundraisers such as Bake sales and a pyjama day, so keep an eye out on Flexibuzz for these. All donations
made through these fundraisers will go towards making a difference for people experiencing
homelessness and disadvantage in our local community and beyond.
Let’s all come together to help those in need, every effort will make an impact.

Wellbeing
During our fortnightly garden sessions, Class 5 and class 6 have teamed up together to start a business
called, Ready, Set, Grow @ L.P.S.
Due to global warming and extensive loss of native habitats, we have created this business to revegetate
our local community and sell native plants to the broader community.
Projects will start within our school and then spread to other possible projects within the wider
community. These could include understory plantings in Bushland Park Nature Play Area, adjacent
private properties or road verges and the Amy Gillet bikeway.
The classes split into 7 groups, which are: Project Planning, Propagation, Seed Management and
Ordering, Finance, Media, Sales and Stall Preparation and Data. Each group has a job that they need to
complete to keep the business up and running successfully. So far, we have named the business,
designed the logo, set up income and expenditure worksheets, designed several data collection sheets
and of course propagating many local Australian natives.
If you would like to find out more about our fabulous business, Dan and Lara (our Youth Environment
Leaders) will be presenting information on the 3rd of July at 10:30am in the Library. ( Please arrive at
10:15am for cake and coffee for a 10:30am start.) We are holding this meeting so that you can find out
more about the business we have created and introduce our project to relevant bodies who may be
involved with the organisation and planning.
We will be having Market Stalls out the front of our school starting in Term 3. Some things that we will be
selling at our market include, bunches of herbs, eggs, fruit and veg seedlings, succulents and of course
Local Australia Native seedlings, such as, Carex, grasses. Hardenbergia and Westringia.
We would love for some people to volunteer to help us run the stalls, sell Natives at the Australian Plant
Society Sale in October, help out during garden classes, help propagate and of course help planting out. It
would be greatly appreciated and very amazing for the school community to get behind our new
business. If you are interested in finding out more, please come along next Wednesday.
Looking forward to growing and caring for our local native environment with you.
Chloe, Lachie, Oscar, Sharni, and Cameron.

Community News
Two parents from Lobethal Primary School are participating in this years ‘Shitbox Rally’. This
rally will see them driving their car (worth $1000 or less) from Melbourne to Townsville via
iconic Birdsville with 550 other participants. We hope to have their car at school next Term so
that the students can show their support by helping to paint the car.
The rally is not a race, rather a challenge to achieve the unthinkable. Travelling across
Australia via some of its most formidable roads and remote communities.
The first challenge for our team is to raise as much as possible before leaving on the rally in October this year,
therefore we would greatly appreciate it if you could support our team.
We are hosting a Movie night at the Wallis cinema in Mount Barker on Saturday 20th July at 6pm. We are showing
‘Spiderman Far from Home’.
Tickets are $15 each and all proceeds will go to the Cancer Council. They can be
contacted on 0421 845 3968 to buy tickets or for any further information
