“LPS embodies a sense of home for all who walk through its doors,” said Principal Timmins.

“All new students are warmly welcomed and quickly embraced by the school community, fostering a sense of belonging and connection.”

To ease the transition for the Kindergarten cohort, LPS conducted two orientation sessions.

“However, by the time these sessions are in place, most of our students have already familiarised themselves with our school through open classroom visits, special days and our assemblies.”

Each Kindergarten student has been paired with a Year 5 Buddy, who offer support and share valuable insights into life at primary school.

During an interview with NOTA, Harrison, Ayda, Harper and Chase introduced their buddies, proudly sharing what they have taught them already.

Harper credits her buddy Matilda with helping her to “make new friends”.

Claire has been sharing information about the sandpit with Ayda, while Harrison and Chase have received key safety advice.

“Jett has taught me not to go under the blue tables in the playground,” said Harrison.

“And Jack has been telling me it’s not safe to run on the concrete,” said Chase.
