It was a grand kind of day On behalf of students, staff and our P&C, thank you to everyone who joined us last Thursday for our Grandparent’s Day celebrations.

Compulsory Hats Over the years, the “No hat, No play” rule has had limited success at Lake Heights Public School, but with the support of parents and our community, that’s about to change. From today, our goal is for 100% of students to be wearing a hat for all outdoor activities between the 8:55am bell and the 2:35pm bell.

The term ahead Get those calendars ready because fourth term is always a big one. Here’s a few dates for the diary.
