Better Buddies 2013 At the beginning of each year at Lindsay
Park, Year 6 students are teamed up with our
new Kindergarten students as part of ‘Better Buddies’. It is a
great program and they all
have a wonderful time doing all sorts of activities
together.
Dear Parents,
This week the students in Years 3 and 5 will be undertaking
their NAPLAN Assessments.
This will run from Tuesday to Thursday with Friday as the catch
up day. The results will be
made available later in the year. All students are currently
involved in a range of learning
assessments that the teaching staff are using to assist in the
writing of this semester’s reports.
Reports will be issued on Friday 14 June with Parent-Teacher
interviews to be held in the
following two weeks.
Thank you to Mrs. Colquhoun for running the district cross
country last Friday. It was by all
accounts a very successful day with a number of our students
moving onto the Regional
Carnival. Also on sport, we have decided to hold this year’s
athletics carnival at Beaton Park
on Wednesday 12 June. The reasons for this include: equipment
(ours does not meet legal
requirements), better facilities including grand stand viewing,
and the opportunity for students
to participate at a competition standard venue.
Trish Davis and I attended a community meeting in Balgownie
where the P&C were presented
with their recognition certificate for successfully applying for
a grant for the laying of
artificial turf under the COLA. Can I express the thanks of the
school for the work that went
into writing up the grant proposal and the resultant benefit
that all of the students will gain
from this. Mr Ryan Park MP will be visiting the school this
Friday.

Term 2 P&C Update
The P&C and the community have been very busy this year.
Last Friday our P&C provided the canteen facilities at the
District Cross
Country Carnival. It was a very successful fundraiser for our
school, thank you to all of the parents who assisted. I would like
to say a
special thank you to Sue for organising and coordinating the
event.
The P&C would like to welcome our new canteen co-ordinator,
Elisabeth Schott. We look forward to working with her on
continuing
to build and improve our canteen and its service to our
children. Many thanks to Carol, Sue, Kerryn and Paul who made sure
that
things ran smoothly until we were able to hire our new
coordinator.
At the end of Term One the P&C was informed that we had been
successful in our application for a grant under the Community
Building Partnership Program. We had applied for $15,000 to go
towards the improvement of the area under and around the
Primary
COLA. There are still a few steps in the process before we
receive the money, but we do hope to have the improvements
completed
before the Fete in October.
On April 7, the P&C held a card class fundraiser. There was
a raffle and silent auction. All prizes were donated by Stampin Up.
Thank
you to Sam for co-teaching the event and to Kerryn , Sue ,
Kellie and Leonie for providing the afternoon tea.
If you missed out on purchasing an All Rounder lunch bag from
the fundraiser held last term, we ordered some extra bags which
are
available for purchase from the uniform shop for $10. These bags
can be used for canteen orders and there is a zip pocket on the
front
of the bag for putting the money in.

Meet our new gutter cleaners
Despite the mess they created on the path outside the
school office, we think our resident cockatoos did a
fantastic job of cleaning out our gutters!

DISTRICT CROSS COUNTRY
Well this was another event that made me feel proud and lucky to
belong to Lindsay Park P.S.
I need to thank all of the staff, students and community for
helping to make this day such a
success. Thank you to Sue McCartney and her team of hard working
parents, we were definitely the most well
organised and best catered for school carnival canteen ever. The
hours and energy you all put into running
the canteen on Friday was amazing.
To the students of LPPS, you coped with the warm weather and
challenging course so very well. It was just
lovely to see so many blue and gold singlets crossing the line
with smiles on their faces.
A big congratulations goes to Riley Caldwell (1st 8/9 year old
boy), Rhys Cattle (2nd 8/9 year boy), India
Akonnah (4th 10 year girl) and Blake Barklay (2nd 12/13 year old
boy) who will be representing our school at
the Regional cross country in Nowra. We wish you all the very
best of luck.
