Lauderdale Primary School Key Dates for 2018 ISSUE NO. 33: 13 TH NOVEMBER 2018 Term 4, 2018 Calendar MESSENGER FROM THE PRINCIPAL Dropping off and picking up students safely is one of the most important parts of each and every day. Unfortunately over the last week I have received phone calls from community members with real concerns around our students running across the carpark, some even accompanied by parents. Please ensure that your children follow the allocated paths to meet you and, as adults, we set a good example for all of our students to keep them safe. Our LPSCA are calling for nominations for 5 parent member positions. Nomination forms will be available at the office from tomorrow, Wednesday 14 th November. 2019 Student Assistance Scheme forms are now available at the office. If you were approved for this year, you should receive a letter shortly stating if you need to reapply. Congratulations to our two teams who competed at the SPSSA Interschool Swimming Carnival last week. Our school finished with a team effort of 1 st and 2 nd. Well done to all students.

Today s tip from Di Vickers: Children don t have to read good books all the time. Try some comics, joke books, poems, manuals, newspapers, catalogues, footy cards etc. Mix it up a bit because as long as children enjoy reading they will improve. And don t forget to show children that you enjoy reading too!
