Dear Families,
It’s been a really busy last few weeks. All families will receive report cards on Thursday next week. If you have any concerns please take the opportunity to discuss this with the class teacher.
Facilities
Building 3 upgrade.
The DfE facilities team are currently in the final stages of the costings process. We expect that the tendering process will start early next term. This has been a long process, however the upgrade will be worth it when it is completed.
The Department for Education has supported the school with the installation of a new security camera. This has been installed as a deterrent to vandalism, graffiti and unauthorised access to the school grounds overnight. The camera is triggered by movement during identified hours (not during school time).
Governing Council and staff have also endorsed the locking of school gates between 9am and 2:45pm. Signage will be placed on gates indicating locked times. All access to the school between 9am and 2:45pm, will be via the Shorney Street gate. This measure will not only minimise the risk of students leaving the grounds but also minimise unauthorised access to the grounds during the school day.
Communication protocol
LPPS Governing Council has endorsed a new communication protocol. The protocol supports our staff to have the “right to disconnect” when not at school, but also supports families to understand processes to communicate with teaching staff and the school.
Please refer to the attached protocol.
2024 & 2025 Reception Enrolments
Our staff have been excited to welcome our new mid-year enrolments at their recent transition visits and we expect them to settle quickly into their classes next term. We planned for this from the beginning of the year by establishing small Reception classes.
It has benefitted our current Receptions and I know that they will help set the expectations and routines for our newest students.
Le Fevre Peninsula Primary School has also started the process of planning for 2025. If you have a child/ren who intend to start Reception in 2025, please complete the “Registration of Interest” forms and return them before the end of term 2.
Staff Updates
Kerry Tate has started as our new front office administrator. She will manage enrolments, absences, newsletters, communication to families, uniforms and general front office support for staff, students and families. Please ensure that you make yourself known to Kerry when you visit the front office.
Road Safety
It has come to our attention that there are a number of issues related to the safety of our students on the roads at drop off and pick up times. Please follow the signage related to “No Parking” or “No Standing”. It can be a busy time from 8:30am and from 3pm on our roads surrounding our school. Please ensure that students enter vehicles from the footpath side of the road. Shorney and Roberts St are particularly narrow and busy. Many children put themselves at risk by crossing the road and are often obscured when moving out from behind cars.
Student Free Day
Monday 22nd July – Day 1, Week 1, Term 3
Staff will be attending Training and Development on Monday 22nd July.
The staff will be continuing our understanding of the new DfE strategy and will begin the process of designing our new Site Learning Plan.
Please speak to our OHSC - Camp Australia if you require supervision of your child on the student free day.

Sporting Schools
The school received a sporting schools grant this term.
The grant was used to run a teacher directed netball and gymnastics program.
Part of this grant was used to run a coach direct program. We had tri-skills visit the school, where all classes got to participate in a gymnastics session.
We have some money left over to spend on sporting equipment.
Next term will be a big sporting term, we will be celebrating the Olympics and Sports Day!
End of Term
There will be a final newsletter going out on the last day of school this term.
Our final day for the term is Friday 5th July.
Please be advised that dismissal will be at 2pm.
Term 3 commences on Tuesday 23rd July.
Kind Regards,
Bob Bowden

PRIME MINISTER- WILLOW / DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER- IRIS
Willow and I are the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of the school. Over the last few weeks we have been meeting with Ms Leah to organise our upcoming school disco. We first looked into the idea of having a silent disco, however when we got a quote, it came back too expensive. We have since booked a DJ from ‘Inclusive Therabeatz’ and our disco will be held on Thursday 8th August from 5:30 – 7:30pm. We will continue to work with Ms Leah and the Parent Group to plan fun activities for the night, such as door prizes and games.
Iris - Rm 20
MINISTER OF ENVIRONMENT- ISABELLA
Hi my name is Isabella and I am the Minister of the Environment group for the Le Fevre Parliament. In this Environment group we have Patrick, Ivy, Jai, Ethan, Alfie, Olivia, Leo, Alex G, and of course Miss Bowe. Our group have been holding meetings on Wednesday's in Miss Bowe's class. We have been discussing what we can do to help our school’s environment which will then hopefully impact the rest of Adelaide. I am here to tell you some of the ways we are doing this so let me get to it.
In most classes you have probably seen the cardboard boxes or bags that we have asked you to put all you soft plastics into including your chip packets, Zooper Dooper packets and many more. All the classes are very good at this, as we have noticed. A big thank you to all the classes for doing this. The reason we have asked you to do this is so we can do a collection of all the soft plastics so we can compare to next term and see if the number of soft plastics have gone down.
Our aim is to start small and introduce one nude food day a week and eventually become a nude food school altogether! More information about this will be given early next term.
In the meantime, we ask you limit the amount of rubbish that you are:
1. Bringing to school and
2. taking outside with you at recess and lunch. Also, please pick up any rubbish you see on the ground no matter if its at school or not!
So again, a big thank you to all the classes for placing you soft plastics in your bag or box and we look forward to working alongside classes to reduce our waste here at school!
MINISTER OF WELLBEING- MAISIE
My name is Maisie and I am the Minister of Wellbeing. Our group members are Hikaru, Tom, Cooper, Tyler, Felicity, Bostyn, Tyreece and Sehez with Mrs Demasi as our lead teacher. Our group is focusing on the wellbeing of all students and making sure they feel safe at our school.
We are very excited for what our group has planned for next term. We will be releasing a series of videos which we have named ‘The A choice Club’. The videos will be released every 2 weeks on the following topics; No Racism, No Bullying, School Rules, Respecting elders, friends and others and Mental Health. In weeks 2 and 4 we will be releasing the No Racism and No Bullying videos. We will send a link for all teachers to show to their students, plus show our videos during assembly.
The next idea is an initiative called ‘Wellbeing @ Lunch’. During one lunch play in weeks 3, 6 and 9, we will be opening up the wellbeing room for students to participate in calming activities like yoga, mindfulness colouring in, reading and meditation. This will be for any students who wish to take some time out from the busyness of lunch play, or for those who want some quiet time. Please look out for the posters next term.
We are very excited to introduce these ideas and we hope the students are excited too.
On Thursday 20th June, we were fortunate to have Becky from Children’s University, run a 30-minute activity about Japanese Calligraphy. She set up small stations where students first used pencils to practice writing Japanese characters representing different objects and numbers from 1 to 10. Once the children were confident, they all received a Calligraphy Pen and wrote the characters on a piece of card. The students were very good with the Calligraphy Pens and showed great technique writing the characters.
All students who participated in the session, received 30 minutes in their passports.

On Tuesday of Week 8, Room 14 said farewell to our student teacher Ms.Yasmin. We had such a great time with her. While she was here, she taught us about 'Places and Spaces'. We made our own places and spaces with junk material. We added things that were made by people and natural objects as well. We had so much fun!!

On Monday the 3rd of June our year 5/6, year 4/5s and year 1 classes participated in a RAA road safety program. They learnt about pedestrian, wheeled and passenger safety. The students learnt the importance of wearing safety equipment, how to safely cross the road and how to be a responsible road user. We can’t wait to welcome RAA back on the 1st of July for our year 3/4, year 2 and Rec/ARC classes.
Maisie – “It is very important to learn about road safety. We learnt about how we shouldn’t be distracted by looking at our phones or listening to music when crossing the road because some cars do not have loud engines.”
Alex N – “RAA was a very informative incursion. Road safety is very important for kids to learn about as you cannot trust cars and drivers as they can be distracted too.”
On Thursday 20th of June, our school had the opportunity to take part in a gymnastics incursion by Tri-skills. Tri Skills deliver primary school gymnastics, dance and sport programs throughout Australia. The lessons develop the student’s ability to enjoy and perform movement sequences combining effort, space, objects and people. The students had a great time and would love to share some of their favourite parts of the program.
Poppy – “It was really fun. My favourite part was the bars.”
Caleb – “It was amazing. My favourite part was the bars and hula hoops.”
Gordan – “It was really fun. My favourite part was swinging on the bars.”
Charlie S – “I enjoyed the puppy dog rolls and the rings.”
Dylan – “I enjoyed swinging on the rings and the balance beam.”
Phoenix – “I enjoyed the balance beam.”
