Primary Choral Festival Thirty six senior choir students performed in the Primary

Choral Festival at the Sydney Opera House on Tuesday, 7th

November as part of the mass choir of approximately 700

singers. The students travelled by bus with 26 Lennox Head

PS students and their two staff. Our students were supervised

by Mrs Berry, Mrs Cole as well as two parents Leanne

Hamilton and Melissa Townsend-Gailer. We were able to walk

across the Sydney Harbour bridge on Sunday evening before

visiting Taronga Zoo and watching Ballina PS and Southern

Cross students in the Monday evening concert at the Opera

House. On Tuesday morning there was a Captain Cook cruise

on Sydney Harbour before the afternoon rehearsal and

evening performance. Many students were fortunate to have

family members joining them for various parts of the excursion

to share the excitement. Staff members from various school

and members of the general public commended the behaviour

and quality of performance from the students representing

Lismore Public and all staff were impressed by the respect

and consideration shown to others at all times. The parents

assisting approached local businesses to support the event.

The staff and students are extremely grateful for the generous

donations of sunscreen and bottled water from ChemPro and

the snacks and drinks supplies from both Woolworths and

Coles.

Principal’s Report

Bus Bay

Parents and Carers are reminded about obeying the road rules around our school. In particular the bus bay. Parking or stopping in this area during the designated bus times is illegal. Police do random checks and will fine people $257 if caught. It is a safety concern at our school and I respectfully ask that you obey the road rules everywhere but especially around our school.

Kindergarten Transition Days

Our 2018 Kindergarten students begin their transition to “Big School’ this Friday. They will attend for a couple of hours for four consecutive Fridays for weeks 6 to 9. We look forward to meeting our new students and families.

2018 Captain Speeches

Congratulations to our nominees for 2018 Lismore Public School Captains. Each candidate presented a speech to the whole school assembly last Friday. They did a great job. The students will now vote for their preferred candidate. The 2018 Captains and Vice Captains will be announced at our annual School Presentation Day ceremony on Tuesday 12

th

December. Good luck to all the nominees.

Opera House Choir Visit

Last week our school choir travelled to Sydney to participate in the Primary Choral Festival by performing at the Sydney Opera House. Our choir were amazing and mesmerised the audience with their singing. Well done to all students for their exceptional behaviour whilst on the excursion. Thanks to our parent support crew as well. A very special mention to Mrs Cole and Mrs Berry for coordinating this program – we are very lucky to have such dedicated and talented staff at Lismore Public School.

P&C Meeting

The next meeting of our school’s P&C is on Tuesday 21 November (next week) commencing at 6pm. All families are invited and welcome to attend to discuss school events. It a friendly meeting and a great chance to catch up with other families at our school. We look forward to seeing you there.

Have a great week and an enjoyable term.

Remembrance Day

On Friday. 10th November the Senior Choir sang beautifully in the ceremony for Remembrance

Day at Fromelles Manor in McKenzie St, Lismore. The students listened carefully to the guest

speakers and their renditions of ‘God Of Our Father’ and ‘God Bless Australia’ were

appreciated by staff, residents and members of the Fromelles community.

Music lessons

Andrew Hills will be returning to Lismore Public School in 2018 to tutor small

Science Experiments

Stage 3 had to build a rocket from cardboard and a bottle.

My rocket had wings and a cone around the bottom of the bottle.

I used vinegar and 2 teaspoons bi-carbonate of soda in a tissue.

I put the tissue in the bottle and then put the bottle on the stick

and it shot off. The rocket travelled the same height as Mr

Hoskins shed.

By Brock

My bottle had nothing on it except spray paint. I put the

bi-carbonate of soda in the tissue and then we put it on the stick

and stabbed the stick into the ground. We waited for a couple of

seconds until it shot off. It travelled as tall as B block.
