    The Week & Term in Reflection


    Well, here we are at the end of our first term in the 2015 school year hard to believe! Time certainly flies by! We
    would like to acknowledge our Foundation students for completing their first term of schooling; we are sure each
    and every one of them will be enjoying lots of sleep ins, rest and relaxation over the holidays.
    We would also like to acknowledge our hardworking, dedicated staff for laying the foundations for a successful year,
    across all levels. Thanks also to our community for supporting a busy but fruitful term. It is really important to
    remember to have a rest over the holidays, but we urge students to continue reading and make the most of the extra
    time to enjoy a good book.
    Term One highlights include:
    Getting to know you interviews.
    WHYLD community market.
    Prep/ buddy/ new families barbecue.
    Family Science night.
    Camp Quality incursion for all students.
    Athletics sports day grades 3-6.
    Football clinic (Hawthorn footballers) grade 1/2.
    Grade 6 puberty talk.
    Easter hat parade and P & F Easter raffle.

    New Smoking Bans to Apply on School Grounds and at School Entrances


    From 13 April 2015, smoking will be banned within four metres of an entrance to all primary
    and secondary schools in Victoria, and within the school grounds, under an amendment to
    the Tobacco Act 1987. A similar ban applying to the entrances and grounds of Victorian
    childcare centres and kindergartens will be introduced at the same time.
    We trust that you will be respectful of these new guidelines and thank you for your support.

    Earth Hour
    This Saturday people around the globe will once again celebrate Earth Hour. The WWFs Earth Hour takes on its biggest challenge ever this year by
    strengthening the focus on the globe's most stubborn environmental challenge climate change. As the opportunity for action on climate change peaks
    in 2015, the worlds largest grassroots movement will raise its voice to change climate change. The ninth edition of Earth Hour rolls across the globe at
    8:30 pm local time on Saturday, 28 March 2015.
    Climate change is the one of the biggest environmental challenges our planet faces today. Earth Hour aims to inspire
    and empower individuals, businesses and governments around the world to push climate change to the top of the
    agenda. From promoting renewable energy and sustainable agriculture to funding projects to protect forests and
    ecosystems and encouraging climate education, there are many actions we can take as individuals and organisations
    to help change climate change.
    Lets all make an effort to turn our lights off for an hour to show that the families of LPPS are committed to helping our
    environment. Earth Hour is just the beginning. Further information can be found at: http://www.earthhour.org/
