Our main week for conversations is 11-15 March, with some bookings available before or after this date. We look forward to seeing everyone.

Splashdown! A hugely successful swimming carnival was held last Thursday.

Each new member was voted in by their classmates and they all agreed to abide by our school rules. Congratulations to all our new leaders.

And so begins another excellent year of learning and innovation at LHPS. We hope all of our families have had an enjoyable and relaxing break.

We’d like to offer another congratulations to all of these recipients, who have demonstrated that Lake Heights really does ‘Strive for excellence’. As the year draws to a close, however, it’s important to remember that the students who received an award in last week’s ceremony are not the only students who have achieved excellence or have made progress over the year.

Last Wednesday we received some sad news. Mr Bridgement, our former school groundskeeper who stepped down from his position last year at the age of 83, passed away on Wednesday evening after a short battle with cancer.

It was an opportunity for schools to showcase what they had achieved in their gardens, sample some of the delicious food grown and cooked straight from school gardens and take a tour of Cringila’s fabulous garden. It was perfect timing for teachers and our parent volunteers who came along, who each came back with a stack of new ideas to implement in our own school.

Last Wednesday, Year 6 students had the opportunity to go and see their hard work on the big screen at the premier screening of this year’s WACKI films. The WACKI film competition is local competition within our community of schools and provides students with an opportunity to become involved in all aspects of film making, from writing a script to acting, designing sets and costumes, honing leadership skills by taking on the director’s role,  as well as editing the film to bring it all together.

Wacki Wednesday is a film made by the students of Year 5/6 for the Warrawong and Community Kids Images (WACKI) Film Festival, 2018. Their short film picked up best actor award for Lachlan Farthing.

  Wearing our new school hats with pride! From today, every student at Lake Heights Public School is now the proud owner of one of our school hats.
