Lavington East Public SchoolNewsletterWeek 7, Term 3 - 4 September 2019
Principal's PostDear Parents and Carers,
This term is �ying by and many sta� and community helpers are in
full swing preparing for Term 4 and 2020. That's right 2020!
With many permanent sta� choosing to continue working at other
schools next year, I have put out an expression of interest to the
state for class teacher positions to work at our awesome school. We
hope that students will know who their class teacher will be and in
what room they will be in before the end of the year.
Year 6 students, sta� and parents have been busy preparing for their
end of year graduation. It is hard to believe that our Year 6 students
have less than 14 weeks of primary school left.
We have also established a Presentation Day committee and more
information on the planned changes will be shared at the next P&C
meeting, followed by the newsletter.
Last week I sat down with our Instructional Leaders, Mrs Bartlett
and Miss Kellow. They shared some great data which shows that we
have, on average, 70% of K-2 students reading at or above their
reading level benchmarks. This is a great achievement, that needs to
be shared as there is some innovative programs happening that
are getting great results.
From the hive,
Mrs Nic Williams
WE DID IT!
Following the rules has brought the rewards.
Your Dress Up Day is Thursday next week
and the Canteen will be having hot dogs
to make the day more special -
more information to come!

We're readers at LEPS!
Reader Spotlight: Miss Fiona Smith
My favourite book: ‘The Giving Tree' by Shel Silverstein (1964)
My Grandma read this book to me over and over again when I was
little. It has a really nice moral to the story. I still love reading it
now!

Library News
Our new furniture looks great Library News - our new tables have arrived
The library looks �ash with 6 new �ower-shaped tables that match the recently purchased green and
red chairs and our beautiful ‘Yarning’ rug. Students are using the new furniture to support engaged
learning and tasks that require speaking.
How our new furniture supports learning in the library
‘Yarning’ rug – Our beautiful �oor rug with the design ‘Seasons’ by artist Danielle Mate Sullivan is a
place for having a yarn. Our students sit around the rug and share ideas and stories and at the end of
library lessons, share their learning around the rug.
Flower tables and jazzy chairs – In bright and earthy colours, the shape of our tables and chairs
supports our students to participate in engaged learning. Sometimes this looks like collaborative
learning of project-based tasks where students problem-solve together. They might use technology,
books, paper and pens while working with a friend. Sometimes, library learning looks like a rotation of
literacy learning tasks.
MCE at the Albury Library Museum - "When Pictures MeetWords"Last Thursday, the students from MCE visited the exhibition at the Albury Library Museum. This
exhibition highlighted the amazing illustrations which assist the author to create a story and inspire
the imagination.
Our guide, Narelle, explained the use of shadowing, sponging and the e�ect of using black and white in
conjunction with colour to enhance and give depth to illustrations.

Your details a�ect our fundingEach year, the Department of Education allocates funding to schools
based on many factors. One of these is the socio-economic funding
called FOEI (Family Occupation and Education Index).
Please don't forget to tell us if your situation changes e.g. if you
were a nurse when you enrolled your child, and are now a stay-at-
home mum, this will a�ect the amount of funding we receive in
future.
Also, it is very important to let us know when your address,
telephone or emergency contact details change - a simple phone call
is all that is needed, or drop in to the o�ce and let us know. There is
also a "change of details" form on the Skoolbag app that you can use
to notify of changes.
Meningococcal AwarenessAs we head into late winter and spring, NSW Health are urging
everyone to be alert to the symptoms of meningococcal disease.
NSW Health have launched a state wide campaign about identifying
the symptoms of meningococcal disease.
y p g
Meningococcal disease is caused by a bacterial infection that can
lead to serious illness if not recognised and treated in time. While
anyone can contract meningococcal disease, infection rates are
higher in children aged 0 - 4 years and young people aged 15 - 24
years.
Do you know the symptoms of meningococcal disease?
Symptoms of meningococcal disease include:
* Sudden onset of fever
* Headache
* Neck sti�ness
* Joint pain
* Dislike of bright lights
* Nausea
* Vomiting
* Irritability
* Rash of red-purple spots or bruises that doesn't disappear when
pressure is applied. (A rash does not always appear or it may occur
late in the disease).
Some or all of these symptoms may appear and can mimic other
common illnesses. Symptoms usually occur suddenly and can get
worse quickly, so it's important to seek urgent medical treatment.
Vaccination is the best way to prevent the spread. The NSW School
vaccination program provides free vaccination against
meningococcal disease for year 10 students in 2019. Students ages
15-16 can access free vaccine from their GP.
Act fast and seek medical advice quickly
People infected with meningococcal disease can become extremely
unwell very quickly. People who could have meningococcal disease
should seek urgent medical advice.
Year 6 News

6 end of year gift to school. This is going to be combined with the SRC "casual clothes day" which will

Our School Canteen is now using eCanteen
Our school is using the eCanteen online canteen ordering system
from Week 4 Term 3 2019.
Place your order at your own convenience prior to 9am and up to a
week in advance.
It's really simple, no new logons or passwords to remember - get
started now!
eCanteen is an online order processing system for schools. It can be
used on any device without the need for installation. It is mobile
compatible as a free simple app installed from the website without
any need of an app store
The eCanteen online ordering system is designed with parents in
mind. Many of its features are designed to make the process of
ordering from the canteen convenient and simpler for parents of
students. These features include:
Simple login - Login with a Facebook, Google or Microsoft
Account to cut down on having to remember yet another login.
Don’t have one of these, don’t worry it’s easy to sign up to one of
these providers for free.
Manage your own students. Your account allows you to create
pro�les for multiple students across multiple schools (should
those schools be using the eCanteen online ordering system). This
stores the details of your students and allows you to process
orders for one or more children in a single transaction, rather than
having to place individual orders for each student.
Order up to a week in advance. Not only does eCanteen allow you
to order for multiple students, it also allows for you to place all
your orders for the current week. Cut o� times are set by your
school’s canteen, so please check to make sure you complete your
order for a day before the cut o� time.
Easy, secure payment. All payments are processed by PayPal.
PayPal is a trusted payment processing site which gives you
security in knowing your details are securely stored, so you don’t
have to enter them every time. PayPal allows you to use either a
credit card or bank account and keeps a record of all payments
made.

Some Things To Note When UsingeCanteen
1. Please be advised that due to the signi�cant cost of a refund
through PayPal, the school canteen will give all refunds via cash
payment or future lunch orders.
2. If your child would like hot food at recess please note in the
comments which hot food items are for recess. Unfortunately
there isn't an option to di�erentiate between lunch and recess for
hot food orders.

help and it will be sent through to Megan.

Did you know our canteen is run by our School P & C?
Did you know the canteen is registered for 'Work for the Dole'?
Do you have 2 hours to spare per week, month, term?
The canteen needs volunteers and is under 'New Management'. If
you could lend a hand, the canteen runs Tuesday to Friday 9am to
2pm. However, we are particularly busy between 10am and 12pm.
Children love to see their family members behind the counter. The
best part is that no skills are needed! Mums, Dads, Grandparents,
Aunts and Uncles are all welcome! It's also a good opportunity to
share ideas for menu items.
If you have previously volunteered, we would love to see you again!
Please see the o�ce for a form to update your details.
