Calendar February Friday 27th • Division Swimming back-up Day. • Special Friends Morning Tea. Monday 2nd • Parent/ Teacher Interviews. Tuesday 3rd • Division Tennis. • Parent/ Teacher Interviews.

Friday 20th Fax: 5152 1792 Date: 26.02.15 Being on time: Principal Team Report Student Attendance - Every Day Counts • gets your child’s day off to a good start and puts children in a positive frame of mind, so that they can make the most of their learning opportunities. • sets positive patterns for the future. We can't expect to keep a job if we're always coming in late; • leads to a good attendance record and means children don’t miss important morning notices and instructions; • leads to better achievement because children attend class for the WHOLE day; • leads to understanding that school is important and education is valuable; • helps your child develop a sense of responsibility; • demonstrates respect for the teacher and classmates; The line up music starts at 8:45am. This is the signal for all children to be ready to enter class when their teacher asks them to. Classes commence at 8:50 am sharp. Children who arrive late to school are asked to report to the office before they go to class to ensure their attendance is recorded accurately. We all want our students at Lucknow to get a great education, and the building blocks for a great education begin with students coming to school on time each and every day. Missing school can have a major impact on a child’s future – a student missing one day a fortnight will miss four full weeks by the end of the year. By Year 10 they’ll have missed more than a year of school. School Swimming There is no safe number of days for missing school – each day a student misses puts them behind, and can affect their educational outcomes. It was a pleasure to attend the District Swimming Sports on Wednesday and spend some time getting to know what our students are capable of beyond the classroom. It was also a great pleasure to chat with the parents and family members who came along to support our swimmers. Our students represented our school in a positive manner throughout the day by doing their very best both in and out of the water. We are very proud of them all. Congratulations to those who progressed to the regional competition in Sale. We wish you all the best. Thank you to all the parents and family members who came along to offer their support and assist with transport and a range of jobs on the day. A big congratulations must also go to Mrs Dooley for organizing a very successful day. International research demonstrates a strong correlation between students' learning, longer-term life outcomes, attendance at school and appropriate participation in education programs. It is crucial that our students develop habits of regular punctual attendance at an early age. Poor patterns of attendance and punctuality place students at risk of not achieving their educational, social and psychological potential and are disadvantaged in the quality of choices they are able to make in later life situations. 1 Lucknow Values – Respect: Care: Honesty: Inclusiveness: Commitment respectful member of our grade, with fantastic listening skills.
