Dear Parents and Carers

LIC Staffing Update

We are very excited to send Mrs Wong off on maternity leave at the end of this term. Mrs Wong has such passion for creating exciting reading spaces that aim to develop student’s life long love of reading. We wish her well as she embarks on this exciting new journey and look forward to seeing her when she returns to work. Mrs Sarah Cosgriff will be joining our team to continue on in the role of Learning Resource Assistant. Sarah is an experienced teacher who has worked with children of all ages. She is looking forward to sharing her love of reading with our students from next term.

Readers Cup Challenge

Next Tuesday a team of avid readers are taking part in the South Brisbane Readers Cup. These students have worked with Mrs Wong for many weeks, reading the set titles and working their comprehension skills, to put together a presentation and be prepared to compete against 30 other schools. We wish you well!

Reporting

On the last Friday of this school term (Friday 14 June), your child’s Semester 1 report will be available for you through the parent lounge. Please see the attached letters with all the information on how to find and interpret your child’s report.

Under 8s Day & Prep Tours

Under 8s day is tomorrow for our Prep and Stage 1 students. If you are a parent helper, please meet at your child’s classroom at 8.45am to collect your group.

Don’t forget it’s free dress, closed in shoes, a hat and sunsafe clothing is expected.

Expo is Coming…

Across the Junior School this term, we have been learning through the concept of Change. On Wednesday 12 June, we would like to invite all families and special friends to come into the classrooms to see our students showcase their learning and stretch in this area. Classrooms will be open from 2pm and close at 4pm. Students will be presenting their learning from 2pm until the end of the school day and are welcome to return with their families and special friends and show them their learning at the end of school until 4pm. Families are also welcome to wander the classrooms and see how the concept has been explored in different stages.

Jnr Showcase

After a successful MSS Musical Dr Holley is now busy with our Jnr Music Ensembles, Piccolos and Voices, as they prepare for the upcoming Jnr Showcase on Friday 7 June. Tickets are FREE but registration is required to ensure adequate seating.  Register Here

Supporting the Chinchilla Community

We would like to join with the Middle Senior School in collecting donations for Chinchilla.

Chinchilla Donations:

The Year 9 students are travelling to Chinchilla during the last week of school in Term 3 to serve the Chinchilla community and present our Hygiene Product collections to Drought Angels. Drought Angels will use these donations to create care packages for farmers who are hard at work producing food for us and may not have the time or resources to care for themselves. Year 9 students will visit Form classes regularly to collect the donations that will "Help us Help the Farmers that Feed Us". We ask that all Hygiene products (as listed below) be sent to school and High School students will collect these each morning starting from Monday 20 May 2024:
