NATIONAL SIMULTANEOUS STORYTIME
Today students participated in the National Simultaneous
Storytime. It is an annual campaign that aims to encourage
more young Australians to read and enjoy books. Now in its
16th successful year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that
aims to promote the value of reading and literacy, using an
Australian children’s book that explores age-appropriate
themes, and addresses key learning areas of the National
Curriculum for Grades 1 to 6 and the pre-school Early Learning
Years Framework.
National Simultaneous Storytime is held annually by the
Australian Library and Information Association. Every year a
picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author
and illustrator is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, preschools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops and many
other places around the country.

Maybe you could try to continue the storytime focus and have
special time with your children this week and read new or old
favourite books together.

KINDERGARTEN ENROLMENTS 2017
TRIVIA NIGHT
Kindergarten enrolments for 2017 are now being taken at the
school office. If you have a child coming to school next year we
ask that you commence the enrolment process to ensure all
required paperwork and documentation is collected.
Don’t forget to get into the spirit and fun of this year’s ‘Rio’
trivia night. This exciting evening will be held on Saturday 18
June and tickets are available to purchase from the front office.
Don’t miss out as tickets are strictly limited to 150 spaces. A
special thank you to the P and C Trivia night committee who
are working tirelessly to organise such a fun and worthwhile
fundraising event.
This year Lake Cathie Public school will present a ‘Showcase of
Excellence’ for all enrolments commencing in 2017 and 2018.
Please read details further on in the newsletter.
We look forward to meeting many pre-schoolers and their
families to help celebrate the excellence at Lake Cathie Public
School.
HELPING YOUR CHILD LEARN TO WRITE
As you are aware our dedicated teaching staff is engaging in
weekly collaborative professional learning sessions to improve
student writing outcomes and how writing is taught in our
classrooms.
Parents and family members can have a significant influence on
their child’s learning and desire to learn more.
We use writing to express our ideas and share information.
Writing is a part of our everyday life. We write our names on
things that belong to us, we write emails to our friends to tell
them our news, we write a shopping list etc, etc.
It is essential that children are given the opportunity to write
every day in formal and informal settings.
CROSS COUNTRY
Mrs Haste coordinated a very successful school cross country
event. It was excellent to see so many students having a go and
running their hearts out. The school spirit was high and the
families who came along to support their children looked like
they were having a wonderful time.
Congratulations to all of the students and in particular to the
athletes who placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd. How wonderful to be
able to receive your ribbons on the podium.
ROBOTICS
A huge congratulations to our school robotics team who
travelled to Camden Haven High School last Thursday. The
students all worked very hard to collaborate and work as a
team. They made Mrs McCleary and the school community
very proud and the team should be extremely proud of their
individual efforts. We are very lucky to have such wonderful
students representing our school. Well done boys and girls.
CAMDEN HAVEN QUILTERS ASSOCIATION
This week Lake Cathie Public School was lucky enough to
receive a generous donation from the Camden Haven Quilters
Association. The donation will go towards purchasing new
musical instruments for our school.
We are very appreciative of the donation and know that the
benefits of new musical instruments will influence many
students in years to come.
PET VISIT
Last Friday students in Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2
participated in a responsible pet owner’s program. The students
were fully engaged and learnt about the safest ways to interact
with our pets.
Some children were also lucky enough to pat the educator’s
dog. Very valuable lessons were learnt by all involved.

CROSS COUNTRY

ROBOTICS
Our recent Carwash Fundraiser was an absolute hit to say the
least. We welcomed many visitors into the school, many of
whom commented on the wonderful atmosphere on the day.
Thank you, and well done to all of the families and community
groups who provided donations and/or their car washing
expertise, it was so nice to see what we can achieve when we
all work together.
After many hours and a lot of hard work our school Robotics
team competed at Camden Haven High School on Thursday
19 May. In a close finish we received second place. I am very
proud of the team. Their ability to troubleshoot and modify
during the competition was amazing. We were the only school
to attempt all the challenges and it was just a bit unfortunate
that on the day things didn’t go as planned. As a team we will
keep working hard to master the next challenges.
I would like to make a special mention to Defib for Life, The
Student Heart Project and Lake Cathie Medical Centre for their
generous support in helping us to reach our goal of purchasing
a defibrillator for LCPS.
We are pleased to announce that we have now placed the
order for our unit, which will make our school community a
safer place to grow and learn together.
Lake Cathie Robotics Team: Tobias Lee, Emily Barlin, Jordan
Thorne, Amber Deakin, Jonathon Pikett, Lachlan Ulph,Sonny
Crisp, Mahali Pemberton and Bailey Molenkamp.

A fantastic effort LCPS!

The CWA is an organization whose aim is to improve the
conditions for women and children and make life better for
families, especially those living in rural and remote Australia.

a high standard.
Emily Barlin introduced the speeches giving a brief overview
of Mongolia.
Skie McDonald and Nikya Young had the audience laughing
at some interesting funny facts about the country. Sophie
