Principal’s Report
Annual School Report for 2016
It is with great pleasure that I present the Annual School Report for
2016. This report gives information about progress on our goals and
strategic directions. It also highlights the academic, sporting,
technology and arts achievements of our students and staff. I
encourage you to read the report and join with us in celebrating the
successes of our school.
The Annual School Report can be found on the school website
http://www.lindfield-p.schools.nsw.edu.au/ and the screenshot below
directs you to the relevant link.
Soldier On – Thank You
Thank you for supporting the ‘Soldier On’ fundraiser to provide care
to our wounded service men and women. We raised $289.45 to give
them access to suitable care. The resources provided for schools by
this organisation allowed teachers to show students some videos of
interviews with modern day veterans to increase their level of
understanding.
We Spoilt Our Mothers! Happy Mother’s Day!
On Friday, our mothers shared breakfast with their children and the smiles on everybody’s faces told the
story! I always enjoy watching the children looking over the gifts at the stalls as they decide what
treasure to buy for their precious mum. There were so many beautiful choices and I thank the volunteers
who purchased and provided these gifts for your efforts. Many thanks to the team led by Tina and
Natalie for providing the tasty breakfast and elegant table settings. A good time was had by all! I hope
that all our mothers were spoilt on Sunday!
More photos can be found on our school website.
‘Meet the Teacher’
Both Mr Gardiner and Miss Sweeney appreciated the opportunity to meet the parents at the special
‘Meet the Teacher’ events for 2T and 3E. Being new to these classes in Term 2, it gave them a forum to
address the parents and carers and share their plans for the rest of the year for 2T and for the next two
terms for 3E. Thank you for coming.

Deputy Principals’ Report
Years 3 – 6 Public Speaking Competition
Teachers are very much looking forward to hearing the speeches currently being written by their students. Yesterday a note with guidelines and the topics was sent home. Students are encouraged to think about the Matter, Method and Manner when preparing their speeches:
Matter - well-structured and interesting content, that is unique and interesting for the audience. Speakers should refer to palm cards and not just read the content.
Manner - good use of voice (articulation, volume, pause, pace), good posture, gestures and eye contact. The speaker’s voice should be relaxed without being exaggerated. Costumes or props are not permitted.
Method - well-practised in presenting (rehearsed). Speeches need to have a clear introduction, middle and conclusion. Do not introduce yourself or thank your audience. Good introductions and conclusions are memorable, effective and original. Thank you to Mr Katrak, Mrs Batistich and Mr Gortley who delivered impromptu speeches at assembly yesterday. Their topics ‘Fish make great pets’, ‘Computers are better than television’ and ‘Spiders’, made for some very entertaining speeches!
Basketball – Our New Rec Sport
Many students from Years 3 – 6 are enjoying basketball which was an addition to our Recreational Sport program this term. The North Shore Basketball League (NSBL) coaches aim to increase overall basketball skills, hand-eye coordination, game sense and physical fitness and improve life-long skills including communication, teamwork and spatial awareness. Students are enthusiastically taking part in the program.

New Library Green Screen!
If you have entered our library foyer in the last week, you may have noticed our new bright green wall.
This space has been especially created to help support our primary students who are learning how to
use iPad apps that allow special effects using a green screen to create dynamic video assignments.
Using a green screen as a backdrop to a video allows the students to superimpose the actors onto any
kind of background - as long as they are not wearing green themselves! It is commonly used for TV
weather reports.
We look forward to seeing what our talented students create using this new learning space!
Happy reading and recording!

Anaphylaxis at Lindfield Public School
At Lindfield Public School in 2017, we have a small number of children with a potentially life threatening allergic reaction. They are found across our school from Kindergarten to Year 6. How can parents help these children?
If possible, choose alternative sandwich spreads to peanut butter and Nutella. If you have no alternative, inform your child that these foods can trigger an anaphylactic reaction.
Reinforce the school’s NO FOOD SHARING message.

Canteen
FLEXISCHOOLS ONLY ON FRIDAYS (NO PAPER BAG ORDERS)
In Term 4 of last year, we introduced Flexischools to the Canteen. We hope that by using the Flexischools online order system we have provided an ordering and payment system that is more convenient and efficient for our school community. By paying online, there is no fumbling around for coins in the morning or sending kids to school with excess cash. Online orders are faster and more accurate, giving parents peace of mind that their child will have the lunch that has been ordered.
So from this Friday, 12 May the LPS canteen will only accept Flexischool online orders on Fridays. You will still be able to order via the paper bag method from Monday to Thursday, however, only online orders will be accepted on Fridays. If you are new to Flexischools, please see the Canteen page on the P&C website here for FAQs and how to register. It is very simple and convenient to use.
Year 3-6 students will still be able to purchase items over the counter at recess and lunch with cash.
If you have any concerns please feel free to come into the Canteen so we can help.
Many thanks for your support.

學校 Canteen通告
星期五將只能使用Flexischools訂購午餐（不再接受現金及紙袋訂餐）
去年的第四學期，學校開始使用了Flexischools網站訂購午餐。我們希望由此網站能使得家長們輕鬆的幫
學生們上網付款訂餐，不必再為沒有零錢而擔心。上網訂餐不僅快速、正確，家長們也不用再煩惱小孩是
否記得訂購午餐。
所以從這星期五，五月十二日起的每個星期五，LPS學校canteen將只接受Flexischools網站上的訂餐。其
餘的四天（星期一至四），家長們還是可以使用紙袋和現金訂餐。
三到六年級的學生仍可以在下課休息和午餐時間到canteen使用現金買東西吃。
若有任何疑問請到canteen洽訊。感謝您的支持及合作。
2016년 Term 4부터 캔틴에서 플렉시스쿨이라는 프로그램을 소개했었습니다.
이 프로그램을 이용해 온라인으로 캔틴에 주문을 하게되면 훨씬 간편하고, 아이들이 학교에서 돈을
가지고 다니는 일도 없앨 수 있습니다.
종이봉투를 잊어버려 주문이 누락 되거나 하는일 없이, 캔틴 안에서도 훨씬 빠르고 쉽게 주문을 처리 할
수 가 있게 됩니다.
금요일은 일 주일 중에 가장 많은 주문이 들어오는 날이고 캔틴이 가장 바쁜 요일 중 하나 입니다.
봉사하는 어머님들이 음식을 만드는 시간 보다 주문을 분류하고 잔돈을 계산해 주는데 더 많은 시간을
쓰고 있습니다.
그래서, 5월 12일 금요일 부터 매주 금요일은 온라인으로만 오더를 받는것으로 바뀌게 됩니다.
종이봉투는 월요일에서 목요일 까지는 여전히 사용 하실 수 있습니다.
3 학년에서 6 학년 학생들은 현금으로 휴식과 점심 시간에 카운터에서 물품을 구입할 수 있습니다.
어떤질문이든 궁금한것이 있으시면 켄틴으로 오셔서 질문해주시면 친절히 답해드리겠습니다.
늘 관심가져주셔서 감사합니다.

Chess
Rumours abound on the Day of the Mother that G R R R R has released a new installment of the Game of (Chess) Thrones and may be prevailed upon for The Signing of The Book. Three teams from House Lindfield are sent north of the Mall to ask Shaggydog for an explanation...... Round 2 of the NSW JCL was held last Friday and all seven of our teams were in action. Three of our teams traveled to St Bernard's Berowra Heights using detailed instructions, GPS and fast getaway cars. Our thanks to the parents driving - Anna, Emily's grandfather and P&C Prez Tina who put in a long LPS day by doing Chess after first doing Mother's Day Breakfast and Canteen. Our thanks also to the Home parents who helped setup, guard and arrange the food and hosted the visiting teams. Lindfield A played St Ives A for a 4-0 win (aggregate 8-0); Lindfield B played Turramurra North A for a 2-2 draw (4-4); Lindfield C played St Bernard's Berowra Heights A for a 1-3 loss (1-3); Lindfield D played St Bernard's Berowra Heights C for a 3.5-0.5 win (5.5-2.5); Lindfield E played St Bernard's Berowra Heights B for a 4-0 win (7-1); Lindfield F played Wahroonga C for a 3.5-0.5 win (7.5-0.5); Lindfield G played Knox E for a 4-0 win (7-1.) This Friday sees four of our teams Away with Lindfield A visiting Wahroonga A, Lindfield B taking on newcomers St Ives North A, Lindfield F playing Newington C in a double header (to save time and another trip) and Lindfield G visits Sydney Grammar E. Our Home games are all against St Ives North teams - Lindfield C v St Ives North D, Lindfield D v St Ives North F and Lindfield E v St Ives North E. Good luck teams!
