Parent Access Module and Calendar

Welcome

Lumen Christi supports Child Safety with policies and procedures in place to promote well-being and to ensure that all children are protected from harm.

Lumen Christi is a Catholic primary school, which endeavours to work with families to educate children in a Christian atmosphere of love, trust and responsibility.

​We are inspired by our name, Lumen Christi, to create a welcoming environment which values the dignity of the individual, nurtures within the Catholic tradition each individual's spiritual journey, fosters enjoyment of learning, nourishes self expression, embraces our whole community and focuses on justice and citizenship.

​We view education as a partnership between school and home, and therefore strongly encourage parent participation. 

​Lumen Christi was officially opened in 1990 with a total enrolment of 73 students, today we have over 330 children, with modern air conditioned classrooms and interactive whiteboards, a purpose built junior learning centre, a fully equipped technology centre, a library, a dedicated art room and beautiful grounds. 

Whilst this website contains a great deal of information, it in no way covers everything we do at Lumen Christi. We hope you enjoy reading about our school and would hope that if you have any questions that you would not hesitate to make contact with us.

New Initiatives at Lumen

​STUDENT VOICE

At Assembly on Monday our Student Voice representatives for the first semester of the year received their badges and a certificate.  Congratulations to each and every student.
As part of our Annual Action Plan, and hearing from our students, we have developed our first Student Voice team for 2019.  Two representatives from each classroom have been elected for the semester (Terms 1 and 2).  Student Voice representatives represent their class and discuss any ideas or concerns with the student voice group.


The students have the opportunity to feedback through assembly and will have time in their classes to report back and/or hear any items that their classmates wish to be addressed at the next Student Voice meeting.
Student Voice will meet fortnightly with the Wellbeing Leader (Mr.Dalli) who will facilitate the meetings, document minutes and actions, and feedback to staff and leadership. Student Voice are leaders in the classroom, through their actions in the playground, through their support for others and their involvement in our school.  Student Voice will provide suggestions for school initiatives, SHINE focuses (Blitz’s) and general feedback of student needs.
These children will develop their speaking and presentation skills and be called upon to present or ask the class questions that they will report back on.  We are excited to be growing the leadership skills and engagement of our students through this initiative.

New Initiatives at Lumen 

​Something as simple as a wholesome breakfast shared with friends helps children feel a sense of belonging and supports them in engaging and excelling in their learning. Bake n Grind Bakery at Northway Ballarat North are donating Lumen Christi Primary School with bread each week for our Breakfast Program that will take place each Wednesday in the Activity Centre for our students who wish to attend .

The breakfast program has already been a  great success. It runs every Wednesday Morning from 8:15AM -8:45AM. Reminder that this happens with the help of volunteers - so if you are interested in supporting this initiative in any way please contact Jacob Dalli through his email jdalli@lcdelacombe.catholic.edu.au or in person.

All students are welcome for some toast and a warm Milo. Looking forward to seeing you next week!
