Term 3 - Week 10 Week A

It is the end of Term 3, and we have closed what has been an extraordinarily event packed term schedule and final week. Today we formally farewelled the Year 12 class of 2017. Their formal assembly was proceeded by a fun assembly hosted by the students, and a good deal of fun was had by Year 12 and the audience alike. On behalf of the school, I would like to wish Year 12 all the very best for their upcoming Higher School Examinations, which will commence early next term. Congratulations Year 12 on completing your formal schooling, and we wish you every good thing in your future endeavours. As a part of the ceremony this morning, our new School Captains were sworn in and took up office today. Congratulations to Natalie Glover (Captain), Arjhun Yumol (Captain) and Eliza Green (Vice-Captain). I am certain that our new leaders will serve our students, school and community with pride and conviction over the next twelve months.

I would like to take this time to wish everyone all the best for the break. And, as always, if you are travelling, please drive safely, and, enjoy some quality time with your children. We look forward to seeing you all next term. Craig Burdon Principal

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Mr Simmons demonstrated the “Robotic – Lego Mindstorm” component that will be running next Term for STEM in Year 7 & 8. The students will make their robots with the lego and programme them for movement, sound, light and sensors.

The students will use coding to solve various challenges throughout the course.

PBL At LCCS we believe that everyone can make a difference by taking action to improve a situation or by helping other people. We expect all students to think before they act or speak, take responsibility for their words and actions, put others first on occasion and have positive social values.

Skate Park Meeting On Thursday 21st September, Paul McFadyen hosted a meeting at our school about the new skatepark to be developed in Lake Cargelligo. Mr McFadyen wanted our ideas and input into want we would like in the park. The meeting included Years 3 – 12 to participate in the making of a new skatepark. A design for a skatepark was put forward by Mr McFadyen

and we split into groups to create designs for our future skatepark. The sessions was successful and our ideas will be added into the design. Having a skatepark is great because it includes the whole community and also it will be a good tourist attraction. Charlotte and Lachlan Year 7 & 8 – Science Experiments
