TOKSAVE - Lihir International School

Dear Parents and Caregivers, 

School Council

Notice of Meeting: Lihir International School Council Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held at the school at 6pm tonight, Thursday, 27th of February. Mrs Fiona Karaut is currently our Newcrest appointed School Council Chairperson. James Bu, Chris Ong, Seth Kia and Brian Hosea are also Newcrest appointed School Council Representatives. 

Ms Catherine Langusch is the Staff Representative and P&W President, Nicole Wilson, will be the P&W School Council Representative. Richard Toisiat is a parent rep for 2020. With the departure of Adrian Daimol and Angela Pukari after completing their terms, we have two parent rep vacancies. Nomination forms for the positions can be collected from the office. The School Council meets twice each term, at 6pm. If you are interested in finding out more about School Council, please give me a call or make a time to come in for a chat.

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.

This Saturday, at 8.30 am, I will be running a second session of the 'Maths Problem-solving Workshop' followed by the 'Soundwaves' information session (at approximately 9.10am). This is to enable any working parents the opportunity to attend or people who may have missed the earlier sessions. Thanks to the parents who attended the Soundwaves information session this afternoon.
