Student Leadership

In week 7 of this term, students in year 5 will be given the opportunity to become school leaders (captains/Vice

Captains) for 2020.

Students can be nominated and/or self-nominate for the position. Details on the procedure are in our student welfare

policy and will be provided to students by the end of the week.

Wishing nominees, the very best of success.

Thank you

Many thanks to our awesome volunteers who attended our working Bee last Friday to cover the mountain of new

In Week 6 Lawson Public School will be involved in Recycling week. Students will make

containers to recycle household batteries.

Could each student please supply a container with a lid such as a 500g or 1Kg yoghurt tub,

honey bucket, formula tin etc…to their classroom by Friday 15th November, 2019.

Week 6 will also be “nude food” which means all students will try to reduce the amount of plastic

wrapping in their lunch box and will be involved in activities around recycling at school.

Stage One Pink have been learning about maps in English, Geography and Mathematics. Students have taken on the role of a town planner, they designed and constructed the perfect town. They had to identify and use aspects of infrastructure and community needs when designing and constructing their 3D models.
