Quality Teaching Quality Learning Quality Community
Dear Lovely Lawson,
Staff News
We congratulate Alicia on gaining a relieving Deputy Principal position at Bennet Rd Public School. Mrs Kirsty Horne will be teaching our fantastic Stage Three class. Mr Hollins is already excitedly developing some super plans for Stage three as he will be supervising the stage. Congratulations to Alicia from all of us and I’m sure she will miss all her super Lawson Learners.
Athletics Carnival Thursday 16th July
Our planning is all done and Students will be engaged in further practice for events during Sport time to get them ready for the Athletics Carnival.
Concerns and Communication
Schools have the greatest success working through any issues when there is a good communication process. Your children’s learning and care is important to us all and we all need to make sure we take the time to communicate clearly to ensure the kids have the best possible time at lovely Lawson.

School Banking is changing to Thursday’s starting the 2nd August
Remember, THURSDAY is School Banking day and students should bring in their weekly deposit.
For every deposit made at school, students will receive a silver Dollarmites token. Once students have individually collected 10 tokens they can redeem them for an exclusive School Banking reward item in recognition of their regular savings habits.
School Banking is also a great fundraiser for our school. Our school receives a Regular Savers Contribution of $5 for every 10 deposits processed per student as well as an Annual Contribution which is based on the number of students who made at least one School Banking deposit in the prior year.
If your child has lost their book, they can bring their money to school in a sealed envelope with a note on the next School
Banking day. We will issue them with a replacement.
Thank you for supporting the School Banking program at Lawson Public School. We would also like to thank the wonderful parents who volunteer as our School Banking Co-ordinators and process our banking every week. If you would like to know more about School Banking, please ask for a 2018 School Banking program information pack from the school office or visit commbank.com.au/schoolbanking
