Lavington East Public School Newsletter

Dear Parents and Carers,

With this term zooming along there are many events that are on before the end of the year. On Monday, we held our 2020 Swimming Trials. This has replaced our regular swimming carnival at the beginning of the year. There were many reasons behind this change. Timing was one of them, to ensure we maximise our learning time in classrooms with our students in the beginning of the year so that staff develop those crucial relationships, as well as the short timeframe we would have had to get our carnival completed before the regional carnival which is schedule early next year. Our place winners will also be able to get their swim trophies at our leadership assembly in Term 1, 2020 rather than having to wait until the end of the year.

Presentation day is fast approaching. This year we are running two presentation day events. Our K-2 students will attend an infant’s presentation day will be run in the morning on Thursday 12 December at 9:30am. Here all students will receive a certificate for completing their year. Our Primary students will attend an evening event, and this will be for award recipients only and their families. Students and their families will get an invitation in the coming week.

Last week our Kinder 2020 transition sessions and expo finished. I would like to thank all the staff involved in running an engaging process as we get to know the newest members of our school. We can’t wait for them to begin their first day of Kinder.

With lots of events on, please ensure you are reading and responding to all our notes. As we do not want our students or families to miss any of the end of year celebrations.

Next week will be very exciting as we should reach our last reward of the Inflatable Obstacle Course and with students doing a great job with getting buzz tickets! They are understanding and using the language of 'hands down, feet down' which builds a consistent language and approach across the school. Also keep remembering our previous focus of being a hat hero especially now the weather is warming up this week.

Keep buzzing,

PBL Team

Thank you to all who contributed and attended our first ever Kindergarten Expo. The feedback was very positive and now could form an important component to the Kindergarten Transition sessions.

A special thank you to the Albury City Council for taking the time to share the OOSH service and the Lavington Library, Albury Wodonga Health for providing information about occupational health and speech therapy. Further to this a big shout out to the LEPS staff and P&C for their dedication to our students by assisting in preparation and supporting families on the night. Well done to all for taking time out of their night to have made it a success.

Requesting volunteers to join a book covering working bee! 

Session 1 Date: Thursday 14 November 2019

Session 2 Date: Thursday 21 November 2019

The book covering project: we want to cover 500 quality texts that have been previously stored in plastic crates and borrowed from the library as full class sets. We want to cover all of these existing and high quality books, and have them used as part of literacy rotations and small group literacy learning. 

If you are able to come to give your time to help cover books please contact our school office on: 0260 251 157

On Monday 18 November, 40 students participated in the 2020 swim trials at the Albury pool. A fantastic day was had by all with students participating well and setting some PBs.

This trial day replaces our 2020 swim carnival at the beginning of the year, but if your child has missed the trials day please see Miss Smith and next year we will arrange an afternoon to compare times.

A huge thank you to all parents for their support and assistance on the day.

Awards will be presented at the leaders assembly next year, date yet to be advised. 

A big thank you to the amazing Murray High School PSSA umpires who have dedicated their time and umpiring skills over the Summer PSSA season! PSSA sport would not be able to continue without  you! Thank you for setting a wonderful example of good sportsmanship to our LEPS students.
