KINDERGARTEN SHOALHAVEN ZOO EXCURSION
On Monday, September 12 all our Kindergarten students travelled to Nowra to visit the Shoalhaven Zoo. The children were accompanied by Mrs Cecchele, Mrs Tome, Miss
Mizzi, Mrs Guy, Mrs Kitchen, and Mrs Graovac. Lindsay Park can be very proud of our students excellent behaviour both on the bus and at the zoo. We were able to pat a
koala, a baby kangaroo, a crocodile, a dingo and a python. When we visited the farm-
yard animals we were allowed to feed the sheep, goats, pigs, rabbits and horses. There were many other animals and birds to see such as lions, llamas, monkeys, wal-
labies, cockatoos and peacocks as well as lots of other different birds. We all had a lovely day, it was a great experience for the children.
Dear Parents,
School Musical What a success! It was such a delight seeing so many excited faces performing on stage and proud parents, family
and friends in the audience. I would like to extend my thanks to Mrs Lobina for months of toil in getting the musical
to the opening show, as well as all the staff at LPPS for their dedication and flexibility. My thanks also to Mr and
Mrs Davis and the members of the P&C who assisted in the lead up and at the performances. A stellar event and a
great way to finish off Term 3!
Academically Gifted Class Expo Yesterday I went along to the AG Class open day at Albion Park PS and Mrs Colquhoun went to Tarrawanna PS the
day before. Our students showcased their learning over the term and had the opportunity to share challenges and suc-
cesses. I was really proud of our students; their motivation to think critically and work collaboratively was wonderful
to see. Thank you to the parents who support this wonderful opportunity for our students.
School Survey Last week there was a link placed in the newsletter to access our school survey. The same link went up on the
Skoolbag App this week. You only need to complete the survey once, however if you want to fill it in for each of
your children at the school, you are welcome. The survey closes at the end of Week 1 Term 4. I would encourage all
of our families to provide feedback that will be used to inform school planning for the future. The survey takes
about ten minutes to complete and can be done on any device, including smart phones. Thank you for your contribu-
tion.
