Dear Parents and friends,
A huge thank you to everyone for attending our Education
activities last week. It
was a beautiful day for our Open Day and ‘Building the Education
Revolution’
Recognition Ceremony so the atmosphere was very enjoyable. We
received a lot
of positive feedback from Mrs Bird about our grounds and also
the work being
done by our students, dedicated staff and parents.
Next week five senior students will be attending the Illawarra
Regional Debating
Camp in Bateman’s Bay. This is a terrific chance for them to
sharpen their skills
and learn new techniques. I am very grateful to Mrs Hancock who
is accompany-
ing Sian, Pip, Jessica, Lauryn and Michelle.
The Southern Stars rehearsals are in full swing and our school
tickets to the show
are almost sold. Last week and on Monday many students attended
Croome Road
Sporting Complex and Wollongong Entertainment Centre for
rehearsals. These
days are extremely busy and tiring for students and teachers. As
in past years,
however, I’m sure it will be well worth the effort!
Thank you to those of you who have been bringing in ‘shop for
your school’ and
‘Earn and Learn’ dockets from Woolworths and Coles. Last year we
received
much needed sporting equipment which is used by our students
each week. It was
great to receive so much through such small effort.

P &C NEWS As most of you would be aware, our
P&C President, Joanne has resigned
from her position.
On behalf of the staff and students of
Lindsay Park Public School, I would
like to sincerely thank Joanne for the
great contribution she has made to the school. Joanne has
repre-
sented the school in an admirable way and has been the
driving
force behind many projects, one of those being our very suc-
cessful fete. She has always made herself available to the
school
on formal occasions, often at short notice. Joanne’s
outstanding
efforts are acknowledged and valued by all of us at LPPS.
Our incoming President is Trish and our Junior Vice
President
is Joel . Congratulations to you both and thank you for
making
this very worthwhile commitment to the Lindsay Park Public
School Community.
