Deputy Principals’ Report
World Teachers’ Day
Celebrated in over 100 countries, World Teachers’ Day
acknowledges the efforts of teachers in an increasingly complex,
multicultural and technological society. It is a day on which
students, parents and community members can demonstrate their
appreciation for the contributions that teachers have made to their
community.
This Thursday we will be celebrating World Teachers’ Day. The
school has organised a special morning tea to thank to all our
wonderful teachers for the outstanding job they do each day.
UTS
This Friday, we will be both be guest lecturing at the University of Technology, Sydney to talk to the third
year university teachers about programming, assessing and reporting. We both thoroughly enjoy the
connection with the university and its students.
LPS and Lindfield Activity Centre Project with TAFE
Over the next few weeks, North Ryde TAFE will be building a beautiful garden bed at the bottom of
Camphor Laurel for all of our students to enjoy and learn from.
Kindergarten Orientation 2015
We are looking forward to welcoming our 2015 Kindergarten students to Lindfield on Thursday 6 and
13 November from 10.00 am – 11.00 am. Students will enjoy visiting the classroom while parents will be
involved in information sessions in the library.
Ethics Teachers Urgently Needed
Due to the expansion of the Ethics classes to Years 1-2 this year, we are seeking Ethics teachers to take
these classes. The classes have been running all year but we now need to replace some teachers who
are unable to continue in the role. The Primary Ethics curriculum is inquiry based. Children use
dialogue and discussion, learning how to think about ethical matters through the give-and-take of
reasoned argument. If you are interested in becoming an Ethics teacher at Lindfield Public School,
please contact the LPS Ethics Coordinator (Rachel Smith, [email protected]). More
information is also available at www.primaryethics.com.au. The website offers information about Primary
Ethics, the curriculum and classes, including a short video titled, “What Happens in Ethics Classes”.
Hair Ties
There are an increasing number of students wearing colourful ribbons, bows and hair ties to school. We
would like to remind parents that girls can wear blue and white ribbons in their hair with their school
uniforms and the colour of their house on sports days. Please no rainbow or colourful ribbons with the
school uniform. Thank you for helping us with this.
PSSA and School Sport – Term 4
Letters regarding placements in Term 4 PSSA, Recreation and school sports were sent home last term
and follow up letters yesterday. It would be appreciated if your payment for the group is returned to
school by this Friday. All summer PSSA and sports groups will commence this Friday morning
10 October.

Anaphylaxis at Lindfield Public School
Parents please note
At Lindfield Public School in 2014, we have a small number of children with a potentially life threatening
allergic reaction. They are found across our school from Kindergarten to Year 6.
How can parents help these children?
 If possible, choose alternative sandwich spreads to peanut butter and Nutella. If you have no alternative,
inform your child that these foods can trigger an anaphylactic reaction.
 Reinforce the school’s NO FOOD SHARING message.
Class Swimming Program
The class swimming program for all Year 1-6 students begins next Monday 13 October. Please ensure that
your child brings their applicable swimming gear on their allocated day.
PSSA and Recreational Sport
Round 1 for PSSA cricket, modball and touch football begins this Friday 10 October.
All recreational sports begins this Friday 10 October.

We have included the
poetic devices of
imagery, similes and

collage can be seen on

P & C Association
Welcome back everybody. I hope you all had a wonderful break. It was lovely to see the children
back yesterday, energised & ready for Term 4 - which always seems to go so quickly! We have so
many events this term, starting with our LPS School Fair on 18 October. Thanks to everyone
involved in ensuring that it will be a fabulous community day and for promoting LPS so positively to
the wider community.
2015 P&C President – calling for nominations
At LPS, the incumbent P&C President will generally stand for re-election for no more than two
years, ie: a maximum of three consecutive years in the role.
This is my third year, so at the next AGM (to be held Term 1, 2015), I will not be standing for reelection.
We will therefore be seeking nominations from interested parents.
The President is responsible for chairing P&C meetings and facilitating fair and effective
communication between the School, the P&C and the community. The President also provides
leadership, encourages participation, and represents the P&C as required. The role also comes
with the usual responsibilities of an Office Bearer within an organisation regarding accountability
and acting in accordance with the Constitution.
Delegation of the day-to-day running of the P&C is given to the sub-committees, whose incredible
and invaluable support cannot be underestimated. Support is also provided by the President’s
fellow P&C Executive members and by the School Executive.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in the role and would like to take this opportunity to thank
everyone for their support. It has been a pleasure to work with Craig Oliver, Katrin Cornell and
Caroline Desmond. I have also had the opportunity to work with some amazing parents and staff
within our wonderful school, and I have made some long-lasting friendships. I have no regrets that
I said yes to the role three years ago, and encourage others to do the same.
If you are interested, please contact me at [email protected].
