Condolences

The LIS community offers its sincere condolences to the Sigere family on the passing of wife and mother Isabella Sigere. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.

All parents are encouraged to download the Skoolbag App onto their smartphones. This will enable you to receive the Toksave and other school documents and information. Instructions on how to download the app are at the bottom of this Toksave.

Parents and carers are reminded that if students are absent, late or in incorrect uniform (including incorrect footwear), an email or note of explanation must be sent to the class teacher.

 Students are encouraged to bring a bottle of water each day that can be refilled at the school.  Cordial, soft drinks and other sugary drinks are not allowed at school.

Parents are encouraged to purchase from the Canteen on Fridays rather than buying food elsewhere and dropping it into school.

It has been great seeing so many parents and community members getting involved in the LIS community - attending P & W and School Council meetings; helping with Canteen; listening to reading; attending the recent Problem-solving and Soundwaves information sessions; supporting Saturday morning soccer (and the Coffee shop); and visiting classrooms on 'World Maths Day' on Wednesday.

Thanks to all! Our students are fortunate to be part of such a dedicated community.

Ms Langusch
