Dear Parents, Carers and Community Members
Welcome to Week 2 Term 4
2021 Classes
The Executive and I will soon begin planning for 2021. The
composition of classes is a very complex exercise with many factors
we need to consider. If you have a specific request regarding class
placement for 2021 you need to put this in writing and address it
to the Principal. Please note that this request must be supported
by a sound educational reason. This must be received no later than
Friday 6th November. Please note that this is a request only. The
Principal has the final say on the composition of classes. Once
classes are formed the only changes I envisage will be from
students leaving or enrolling at our school.
Please also note that as this is a K-6 school, any teachers
working at this school could be expected to teach anywhere from
K-6. Please don’t assume that a certain teacher will be teaching in
a particular grade (or Infants or Primary), even though they may
have been teaching the same grade or in Infants/Primary for a
number of years.
As planning is well under way now for 2021, it is also vitally
important that I am aware if you are intending to leave LPS at the
end of this year as our staffing decisions are dependent on student
enrolment numbers. Please inform the school as soon as possible if
this is your intention so as I can continue to organise
staffing.
Kindergarten Transition Program
Schools have been advised that Kindergarten orientation and
transition to school can resume for students with strict
guidelines. Please see the revised dates below.
Commencement date: Wednesday 4th November 2020 (Week 4)
Finish Date: Wednesday 2th December 2020
Transition Times: From 9.30am (playground drop off) 9:30am to
11:00am (classroom activities)

drink bottle, hat, enclosed shoes and socks (no sandals).
Help us grow Leeton Public School - Tell Them From Me 2020
All parents and carers are invited to complete the 'Tell Them
From Me' survey by clicking on the link below. Data from this
survey will help decide our future directions by giving the school
leadership team a snapshot of what we are doing well and what we
can do even better. http://nsw.tellthemfromme.com/leetonps20
The ‘Tell Them from Me’ (TTFM) parent survey is your chance to
provide feedback and help our school understand parents’ and
carers’ perspectives on their child’s experience at school. The
survey is conducted entirely online on smartphones, Ipads, tablets,
laptops or computers. The survey will typically take 15 minutes or
less to complete and is completely confidential. The parent survey
is available for completion now, and will close on Friday 23
October. Although participating in the survey is entirely
voluntary, your responses are very much appreciated. The data
collected and the reports compiled from the survey responses will
be instrumental in helping us to identify emerging issues and plan
for improvement. A new Strategic Improvement Plan will be developed
using the information gleaned from the TTFM surveys, so now’s the
time to have your say on what you’d like to see the school focus on
in the next few years...
Thank you for your feedback and support of our school.

~ Borambola~
Entering the bus, full of energy for the two days of enjoyment
and action at Borambola Sport and Recreation camp. The weather was
filled with stunning sunshine for both days that were there.
As soon as we arrived we were seeking and rewarded with a
gourmet pizza, that night we awaited our cooked to perfection roast
pork with crackle and yummy veggies.
After lunch we enjoyed ourselves a variety of activities. In
free play there were all sorts of fun games such as tennis, mini
golf, giant chess, ping pong, cricket, stilts, etc.
We were put in groups of 4-5 for the mud run their were
different obstacles
The second day after a great night’s sleep we were building and
constructing. We had to make something
that carried, pushed or dragged the person sitting in it.
We had wheels, bolts, screws, planks of wood and three lines of
rope around 1 metre long. If we needed another piece of material we
would have to do a challenge to earn it.
After two astonishing days we were exhausted from our amazing
adventure at Borambola Sport and Recreation Centre.
