Principal’s Report

quality of professional development that was presented. We will share with

WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO TELL US WHAT THEY THINK!
We value student voice as a means to improving student engagement,
wellbeing, and quality instruction, and are conducting a survey to find out
what your child thinks of our school. The Attitudes to School Survey is an
annual student survey offered by the Department of Education and Training
to assist schools in gaining an understanding of students' perceptions and
experience of school. Our school will use the survey results to plan programs
and activities to improve your child's schooling experience.
Students from Year 4 to 6 at our school will participate in the survey. Your
child will complete the survey online during school hours using a purpose
built secure online survey tool. It is important to note that we are not in any
way “testing” your child. Your child has the right to refuse or withdraw from
the survey at any point before, during, or after completion of the survey.
Your child will be provided with a unique login to complete the survey. The
student login is an assigned identifier that may be used to link data for
statistical and research purposes only. All responses to the survey are kept
anonymous in the response file. Personal identification data will not be
recorded in the survey response file. This ensures that the confidentiality of
your child’s responses is protected at all times.
The survey only takes up to 20 minutes to complete and occurs during your
child's class time.
The survey results will be reported back to the school before the end of          Our Grade 5/6 Bike Education program is
term 2. All survey data that is made available in reports are for groups of       continuing and proving very beneficial
students only so that no individual student can be identified. Data
suppression rules are used for schools with low student numbers per year          with students learning lots of new skills.

                                            Lions Club Public Speaking
  This week we held our Lions Club Speeches at school. The students did an outstanding job and should be very proud of
  themselves. Grade 3/4 students River S, Patrick K, Lily D, Ziah H and grade 5/6 students Charlie B, Nic M, Chelsea R and
  Chloe P have progressed to the next stage and will deliver their speeches on Wednesday night in front of our local Lions
  Club members at 6.30pm in the BER building at school. Students presenting are asked to be there at 6pm on the night
  dressed in full school uniform.

 We are excited to be taking part in the 2019 Woolworths Earn & Learn program. During the previous campaign, we were able
 to purchase some great resources with the points we earned, thanks to you. From now until June 25th 2019, you can collect
 stickers at Woolworths that go towards Earn & Learn points. For every $10 you spend at Woolworths (excluding the purchase
 of tobacco, liquor and gift cards), you will receive a sticker. These stickers can then be given to your children to collect on a
 special sticker sheet. Once it is completed, they can simply bring it back here to school or you can drop them into your local
 Woolworths collection box. The more points we earn, the more we can redeem from a choice of over 10,000 educational
 resources including mathematics and English resources, art & crafts materials and much, much more! We are grateful for your
 support and look forward to a successful program. If you have any questions, please ask at School.

Sports News
Echuca Netball Tournament
Last week four teams from LCS competed at the Echuca Netball
Tournament. It was great day had by all with each team playing at least 6
Games each against other schools in the Campaspe Region. All of our
students should be proud of the way in which they represented
themselves and our school. It was great to see 2 of our teams winning
their division. Thank you to Kerryn, Jacinta, Emily, Meaghan and Carmel
for helping out on the day and supplying the lollies! And thanks to all
those who were able to cheer the teams at the event.

Thank you also to the EDNA for coordinating the day. Betty and her team did a fabulous
job with the draw, coordinating umpires, trophies and results. It was great day and
provided the opportunity for over 600 students from our region to be involved and
thank you to the 55 umpires from our secondary schools.

Regional Cross Country
Well done to James B who competed at the Regional Cross Country held in St Arnaud on
Tuesday. James ran in the 3km event and should be very proud of his efforts and achievements.
James finished in 29th position overall in what was a fantastic effort.

Lockington Auskick
Last weekend our local Auskick participants took to the footy oval at the MCG. During the half time break the kids got to play
a game , alongside many other Auskickers from around the state. What a tremendous experience.
