Our school leaders had a great experience at Leadership by the Bay today. Mrs Ingram was very proud of their mature and thoughtful ideas and said they were excellent ambassadors for our school. I look forward to hearing about their project ideas!

Did you know there is a new Facebook group for school families so they can keep up to date with all things Canteen Hub! Request to join the Laguna Street Canteen group (link in comments) for the latest canteen news! Here is today's message:

Little items this week. 💚
Last week Jelly Cups were a hit! So much so that we sold out! 😊
This week they will be sold over the counter and in lunch orders. Due to the hot food melting the Jelly 😒😳, we will hand out tickets for those ordering jelly.
Fried Rice is back and homemade in our Canteen. We kept the recipe simple as we know kids can be fussy! My daughter was the taste tester this week and gave our Kylie Kwong recipe the tick of approval. This is always a hot item in our household.

Goodness knows why ice-blocks are still one of our best sellers in this cold weather, but they are! 😂 Our Frozen Pineapple is always popular so we added another "healthier" option with our Frozen Watermelon.

What a super afternoon for PSSA!

Today some of our Stage 3 students enjoyed a whole day debating workshop run by The Arts Unit at Ramsgate PS. Learning how to form strong arguments and debate well is a fantastic skill to develop!

Every day is a busy at day at LSPS!

Today I checked in on the art club, had fun teaching 2 Jones and 1 Mills, enjoyed the sun with students on the open playground and checked in with Mr Corby to see photography club off to a great start - their photos are impressive!

We had a practice run for Lego Club with some of our interested Year 2 students during lunch today. Expression of interest for K-2 students closes Thursday.

Our canteen manager would love some extra help! The canteen currently operates Wednesday to Friday. Even if you can spare an hour or two, it would be greatly appreciated!
Please see the Audiri post from yesterday for a link to the roster sign up or our manager's contact details.

Reminder that the Cronulla Zone X-Country is postponed.
