Ms Buckle’s Retirement Celebration
The LEPS community provided Ms Judy Buckle with a retirement
celebration to remember on Wednesday. Students, parents and teachers
that have been associated with our dedicated Assistant Principal over
the past 12 years, turned out in numbers to say thank you and farewell.
The 'High Tea' themed celebration featured a variety of musical
performances and speeches from both past and current students. A
photo slideshow encapsulated the colorful and outstanding career that
started at Mt Druitt back in 1974 and an incredible parent made birthday
cake was revealed to surprise Ms Buckle who turned 60 on the day.
The great news for LEPS is that Ms Buckle has agreed to stay on as a
STLA for 2 days a week in 2013. Her 40 years of experience and
acquired knowledge and skills in education will be invaluable to this
program. Thanks Ms Buckle, you've left a footprint on the hearts and
minds of many, many students.
We wish to acknowledge the many people who have contributed to
today’s high tea for Judy Buckle. Thanks to everyone who attended the
high tea, contributed food, stories, messages, photos, gift money and
generally helped out. Thank you to the staff and parents who stayed and
packed up so well. Your contributions are appreciated.
Special thanks to:
Parents Penny Walsh, Debbie Jenkins, Shauna Noble.
Staff Mandy Cuneo, Susan Easey, Diane Read, Louise Scope, Jennie
Rixon; Cheryl McNamara, Jenny O’Connor, Andrew Stevenson and
Sakuna Pho.

NEWS FROM THE LEPS GARDEN
Thank you to all community members that looked after our chickens, guinea pig and rabbit during the
holidays. It is greatly appreciated.
Our chickens are happily laying lots of eggs, which the school canteen is using for the students’ healthy
egg sandwiches and wraps. We will soon be selling our eggs again to the community from 9am on
Thursday mornings outside the office. Vegetables from our garden will also be on sale at our Thursday
morning market stall as more produce is grown and harvested. Look out for our stall in future weeks.
If any parents would like to assist with planting and maintenance of the garden this year, please see
Miss Marquet, or leave your name at the office.
Mobile Muster
LEPS will be taking part in a Mobile Muster. A box will shortly be available in the office foyer for you to
drop off any mobile phones and adapters. Classes from years 5 and 6 will be learning about the benefits
of recycling mobile phones instead of throwing them away, and will be assisting to run the program.
What is MobileMuster?
MobileMuster is the Australian mobile phone industry's official product stewardship program. It's a free
mobile phone recycling program that accepts all brands and types of mobile phones, plus their batteries,
chargers and accessories. Basically, it's the industry's way of ensuring mobile phone products don't end
up in landfill - but instead are recycled in a safe, secure and ethical way.
For more information, visit their website: http://www.mobilemuster.com.au/about-us/
WELCOME TO LEPS
NEW ENROLMENTS YEARS 1 - 6
Starting at a new school in years 1 to 6 can be overwhelming, even if you had children enrolled for a
while, in a big school like ours you may still feel lost.
One of the first phrases you’ll hear in our neighbourhood is “I’ll meet you at the Deli”, which is the café in
the row of shops in Wellington Rd, East Lindfield. We invite all of 2013’s newly arrived families and
friendly souls in the LEPS community to join us for a coffee from 9:15am on Friday:
March 1st,
March 15th,
April 5th
To help us connect you with the other parents in your child’s class or start answering your queries,
please email your names and contact details to: [email protected]
We would love to meet you, and welcome all feedback!
Kind regards
