YEAR 6 TO 7 TRANSITION – ORIENTEERING DAY
On Wednesday we welcomed Year 6 students and their teachers to their first Orientation activity – Orienteering Day coordinated by Mrs Davies. It was a wonderful opportunity for our special visitors to meet our staff, including Mr Donaghey Year 7 Advsior for 2019 and student leaders.
Year 6 were given a student perspective on Starting High School and an entertaining concert by our talented music students in the Tiered Learning Centre.
Our special guests then had the opportunity to explore the school with their new High School ‘buddies’ during an Orienteering Activity 'Getting to know your school' The day finished with a delicious sausage sizzle on the front lawn. Further information on Starting High School (and the video shown to Year 6) can be found via these useful links:

STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL LEADERSHIP TRAINING DAY
A leadership training day was held for the Lambton High School SRC at Dixon Park SLSC on Tuesday 8 May. The main aims were to enable the 53 students to get to know each other, to realise each other’s strengths and to have time to plan the group’s activities for the next three terms. Organised by our Leadership Coordinator, Mrs
Hayden, activities included – getting to know others, team building, problem solving, communication and decision making.
Thank you to the following SRC members who volunteered to
lead the students in entertaining and thought provoking activities – Cassandra Reilly, Nicholas Bright, Josephine Muggleton, Swathy Raveendran, Emma Dean, Abby Manning, Jacob
Carson, Alexa Stuart, Lucy Ulph, Harriett Murphy, Jada Maloney, Joshua Griffiths, Shubhan Kansal, Sarah Wells, Kate Lintott, Dewmi De Silva, Nethmi De Alwis, Amanda Boon. The achievement of the day was well summed up by one of the students on their evaluation sheet – “Getting to know other SRC members so that we can work better with each other and be confident in expressing our voices and opinions”

BILL TURNER CUP 2018 Round 1 and 2 Report
On Thursday 10th May the Lambton HS Bill Turner U15’s
Squad, coached by Mr Bozinovski, travelled to the Lake Macquarie Football Facility. In Round 1 we were drawn against the highly-fancied Warners Bay HS. The game was a very tough affair, with both teams completing equal chances on goal with some excellent lead up play. Warners Bay proved to be the more clinical as they went to the break two goals up, as we just couldn’t beat their keeper. The Lambton Boys didn’t put their heads down in the second and pushed and pushed for that goal that would put them back in the game. Unfortunately, Warners Bay would catch us on the counter attack and convert twice to put the game out of reach. Warners Bay victorious 4 goas to nil. For game 2 we were drawn against Lake Macquarie HS. Our boys came out the blocks firing and were quickly up by 3 goals in the opening minutes. We would go to half time 11-0 up. Some good sportsmanship from the Lambton players to give away a few freekicks and calculated penalties to allow Lake Macquarie to get on the scoresheet, putting a few smiles through the Lake Macquarie team. The score would finish 17-4 to Lambton. Losing the first game meant we were knocked out of the competition, but the vast majority of our youthful squad can look forward to coming back next year.
