Learning at LCS

This term is moving along so quickly. I could not be prouder of the way students and staff are

applying themselves in all learning activities, whether they are in the classroom, sporting, welfare

or extra-curricular. So many additional things are happening to support and enhance student

growth this term already. We have had our swimming carnival at the Lockhart Pool. I would like to

thank all the parents, carers, family and friends of our school that came to support the students

and enjoy the afternoon at the pool together. It was fantastic to see so many of you there. Other

events have included Year 11 Induction Camp, Year 7 and 8 Peer Bonding Camp, Riverina

Access Partnership Sport Trials, TAFE Orientation, Secondary Canberra Cattle Showing

Excursion, Rotary Youth Driver Awareness, visits to the Regional Mobile Library and both Primary

and Secondary Zone Swimming Carnivals. All staff have already focused up-skilling and learning

themselves, to ensure best practice for our students. We have had all staff up-dated in CPR and

Anaphylaxis and we have had teachers learning more about Science Technology Engineering

Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) and Language, Learning and Literacy (L3). Again in 2017, we

have students attending TAFE to start industry based learning. Students travel to Wagga Wagga

Riverina TAFE campus every Thursday to study their first years in such areas as construction,

agriculture, electro-technology, hospitability and food, early childhood, hair and beauty, accounting

and automotive. These are only just a sample of what is on offer at TAFE. Opportunities have

closed for 2017 but will be on offer again in Term 3 for 2018.The Breakfast Program is back up

and running for 2017. It is pleasing to see the students sitting together in the morning laughing

and catching up with each other before starting the day over a cup of hot milo.

I have been so pleased of all our students wearing their hats in the playground. It is fantastic to

see them wearing them so proudly. I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome Mrs Cal

Simunovic to our school in her new role as Literacy and Numeracy Instructional Leader.

INVITATION TO JOIN LCS P & C Dear Parent/Carer,

The Lockhart Central School P & C Committee have worked hard over the years to benefit all students.

In the past, the P & C have contributed towards, or fully paid for

The COLA (Covered Outdoor Learning Area)

The air-conditioner in the gym

The purchase of extra textbooks for the school and students

The upgrade of musical instruments

The hire of buses for school excursions

The purchase and covering of a trailer to transport luggage and equipment when students go away on

excursions

Regular Gold and Silver excursions to reward students for good behaviour

It has been wonderful that all our students have been able to benefit from the hard work of the small P & C

committee. The P & C also are part of on-going school planning. It is a place for suggestions and feedback.

Currently, the number of people associated with the P & C is very low. Numbers are so low, that there is a possibility

that the P & C will have to go into recess. Without support and commitment from parents, the Parent & Citizen

committee for Lockhart Central School may not operate in 2017 and possibly beyond.

If this is to happen, parents/carers could possibly be asked to make more contributions towards excursions and

resources that have, in the past, been funded by the P & C.

Please consider attending meetings regularly as we need numbers to make things happen.

You will not be pressured into taking on a position if you do not want one. All that is asked of you is to contribute to

the meetings and help with fund raising when it is happening.

Many hands make light work, and for the P & C to continue on into the future, it is your hands and help that we

need.

If we are all able to focus on the benefits our students gain from an active P & C, we can work together to provide

our students with many opportunities and experiences they may otherwise not have access to.

Our annual General meeting will be held on Tuesday 14th of March at the Ex Serviceman’s Club. 6:30pm for dinner,

with the meeting to start at 7pm.

You will not be pressured into any position if you attend, however, all positions will be declared vacant and if they

are not filled the P & C will have no options but to go into recess for 2017.

If you are interested in a position and would like to know what is involved please speak with a current committee

members. Wendy Wooden (P) Tammie Driscoll (VP) Megan McKenzie (Secretary).

Thank You for your time in reading this notice. We hope that you are able to attend the AGM.

Regards

2017 P & C committee.
