Deputy Principals’ Message
National History Challenge
Last Thursday Zara W attended the 'National History Challenge' award ceremony at the ANZAC
Memorial, Hyde Park. Zara was presented with a certificate and medal for being the 'Year 4 NSW Young
Historian' for 2019 by the president of the History Teachers Association of NSW. Congratulations to Zara
and her family for such an outstanding achievement!
Our thanks go to Mr Katrak for representing Lindfield PS at the presentation assembly and for all of his
work in preparing Zara for this competition.
Year 1’s Outstanding Homework!
Homework is an important task that we each complete in order to reinforce and revise all the things that
we learn at school. Congratulations to all these Year 1 students who have an exemplary homework
record this year by receiving ‘outstanding’ on their effort chart. Great to see you taking pride in one of the
most important school skills.
Band Try Outs
Yesterday we were treated to
a Halloween Flash Mob as
our bands played some
spooky tunes on our
playgrounds. A reminder that
if you want to join Band or
Strings you must apply
online. Please see the Band
and Strings pages further on
in this addition of the Lines.
BYOD iPad Information Night - Tonight
In 2020, we will continue the ‘Bring Your Own Device’ (BYOD) program in all
of Stage 3. This program allows for collaboration and it redefines learning.
We will be hosting a Parent Information Session tonight at 6:30pm in the
School Hall. The aim of this session is to explain how the iPads will be used
in the classroom in Stage 3 and provide parents with helpful ways to manage
their child’s iPad use at home. If you are a parent of a child who is moving
into Stage 3 in 2020, this will be a valuable session for you to attend.
K-2 Athletics Carnival
The annual K-2 Athletics Carnival is on tomorrow - Thursday 31 October. The K-2 carnival is a fun, non-
competitive day with an emphasis on participation and enjoyment. You are welcome to join us from
12:00pm onwards with a picnic lunch. Please send your child in their sports uniforms with hats and
sunscreen. Students will play some fantastic games and have some races on the Ginkgo, Maple and Palm
playgrounds. Make sure not to miss what is always a wonderful day.
Nude Food Day
On Tuesday 5 November the SRC and Garden Club are
organising our very first LPS Nude Food Day. The aim of Nude
Food Day is to try and reduce the huge amount of waste that we
send to landfill. We would like students to try and have all their
food packed into reusable containers instead of plastic bags,
aluminium foil or plastic.
Kindergarten Orientation Sessions
The first of our Kindergarten Orientation sessions will take place on
Thursday 7 November. Parents are asked to drop students off at the
appropriate classroom promptly at 9:30am, as will be indicated in an
email which will be sent out later this week. Parents will then head to
the hall to hear from guest speakers. At 10:30am parents will then
tour the school with their children, guided by our very capable Year 5
and 6 students. Our Kindergarten 2020 students will ‘stamp’ their
passport as they find and visit various areas of our school.
At this stage, it is expected that all enrolment documents for Kindergarten students beginning in 2020 have
been submitted to the front office. It is imperative that this is done as soon as possible in order to plan the
Orientation Sessions.
Life Education Van
This term we have Healthy Harold and Libby from Life Education visiting us
again. Students will spend a session in the van learning the tools they need to
make well informed and educated decisions about leading a healthy and safe
life.

Anaphylaxis at Lindfield Public School At Lindfield Public School in 2019, we have a small number of children who could have a potentially life
threatening allergic reaction. They are found across our school from Kindergarten to Year 6.
How can parents help these children?
Choose alternative sandwich spreads to peanut butter and Nutella. Inform your child that
these foods can trigger an anaphylactic reaction.
Reinforce the school’s NO FOOD SHARING message.
Please note, no students are allowed to bring
glass bottles to school for safety reason
