A message from our Principal… Good afternoon everyone! Another term of high-quality learning and teaching is almost complete. Some important dates from now until the end of next week: Monday 21 June 2021: Semester 1 Reports will be sent home with the students on Monday afternoon. These are reporting on the outcomes achieved during Terms 1 and 2, also reporting on each student’s effort in each key learning area. You are welcome to contact your child’s classroom teacher to discuss any aspect of the report via your usual communication channel, i.e. Sentral Parent Portal or via the Lavington Public School Office. Tuesday 22 June 2021: Each student who has received a Gold Award in Term 1 and 2, has received their invitation to the Gold Award Morning Tea. I look forward to the Lavington Public School crew putting on a spread for all our recipients. This Morning Tea will celebrate their achievements, not only in Semester 1, but in the compilation of 10 merit awards to attain their Gold Award. Other events on the agenda for next week, Week 10, are our Tony Lockett AFL Knockout team competing on Wednesday. We wish them the very best of luck! We know you’ll give your best and represent our whole school community proudly! And to wrap up the term, we complete it with our PBL Reward Day on Friday! At Lavington Public School, it’s learning and teaching right up until (and including) our last day on Friday 25 June 2021. We look forward to enjoying and celebrating our last week of term with all of you next week. Have a great break! See you soon! Brett

DANCE TROUPE

- The Beautification Team

You captivated the audience with your execution, Flawless the art mimics the dance we created. What an exciting day; The Riverina Dance Festival; An atmosphere where ‘arabesques’ and ‘pirouettes’ were the norm and children draped in lace and lycra was an expectation. Anticipation filled the theatre as 600 students from 3 districts performed their dances to a packed house at the Albury Entertainment Centre . Our girl’s performance of the dance ‘Sail’ was extraordinary. Lavington Public School is so proud that you have been nominated to attend the State Dance Festival in Sydney later this year. Here's hoping and wishing we are successful. Choreographer
