Dear families

At Lindisfarne North Primary School we are committed to creating a safe and respectful environment for every member of our school community—both in the classroom and online.

As young people become increasingly curious about the digital world, it’s important to regularly check in with your child and talk about which apps or platforms they are using. Open conversations at home are one of the most effective ways to support safe online behaviour.

Please note: In Australia, children under the age of 16 are not legally permitted to use social media apps. Despite this, many young people still access these platforms, often without fully understanding the risks. We encourage you to review the attached fact sheets and use them as a tool to help guide these important conversations at home.

For additional resources and expert advice, we strongly recommend visiting the eSafety Commissioner’s website. There you’ll find up-to-date information, helpful guides, and tips tailored specifically for primary-aged students and their families. https://www.esafety.gov.au/

Together, we can ensure all our young people grow into confident, safe, and respectful digital citizens.

Please be advised that winter sports will not be on tomorrow.

Change to Assembly days/times

Premier’s Reading Challenge

Two/Three Way Conversations for Prep-Grade 6 held 23-27 June

The link to book a time with teachers for these sessions was sent to parents/carers last week via Schoolzine. Bookings close 12 noon Friday 20 June.

Two/Three way conversations will be held in classrooms from Monday 23 June - Friday 27 June for students in Prep - Year 6. 

This is an opportunity for parents/carers to meet with classroom and/or specialist teachers to discuss their child's learning.  Students are welcome to attend.

Each booking is allocated every 15 minutes, however the meetings will be approximately 10 minutes to allow transition time from one class to another, and for teachers to prepare for their next meeting.

In classrooms that have 2 teachers, please book one appointment time with either teacher.  Teachers will be scheduled on their usual teaching day.

For staff who teach in multiple classes, please select the correct day that corresponds to your child's class.

Nikki Weavers - 3/4Black - Monday and Tuesday

Monday 9 June is a Public Holiday so we look forward to welcoming everybody back on Tuesday 10 June!

Here is what is on next week: 

Friendly reminder - Today we are asking everyone to wear red and bring gold!

Our student parliament have decided that this year they are supporting The Salvo's Red Shield Appeal by wearing red and making a gold coin donation.

Your generosity will support families in our local community and will make a big difference to those in need.

Thanks, in anticipation of your generous support today.
