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 310 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. Click here for a message from our Principal Return To School UpdateWe are looking forward to welcoming our Foundation, Grade 1 and Grade 2 students back to school this week, and out Grade 3 - 6 students in two weeks time.
We know that there are a pile of emotions and thoughts out there as everyone prepares to be at school. Some are anxious, some excited. There is perhaps some apprehension, and maybe even some wonderings. We would like to share some 'nuts and bolts' information with you so that you are prepared and are able to prepare your children for this part of the term. Please find below a link to an excellent video we commissioned a local child psychologist to create for us to support staff in preparing for the return of students to school. Some of you may find some useful insights in it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aLOWoUoUluVdfjbNlnLPbw8u73S5WPsC/view?usp=sharing Also find below a digital 'Playbook' for the return to school that may help you with some 'nuts and bolts' information. We thank you again for the wonderful work you have done in supporting your children over the past six plus weeks, and look forward to seeing many of you soon (from a distance ;-) )

END OF DAY DISMISSAL To minimise congestion within and outside of the school next week the dismissal arrangements will be: Foundation, Grade One and Grade Two students: The side gate adjacent to the Activity Centre will be opened at 3:05pm for those parents who need to come onsite to collect their child/ren. We encourage families to set children up to be able to walk across the crossing to meet them at the end of the day. Children in F/1/2 will assemble in class lines under the cover of the pavilion, waiting for the parents/caregivers who need to come onsite to collect their child/ren. We encourage parents to wait across the crossing if possible and we will bring students out to the front of the school to come across and meet you. Any student from Grades 3-6 who has a sibling in F/1/2 will join them at 3:10 pm for dismissal. Older siblings will walk their younger siblings to the front of the school, parents will not need to come onsite. All bus travelers will be dismissed at 3:10pm. Grade Three - Six Students: Children from Grades 3-6 who do not have a sibling in F/1/2 will be dismissed from under the pavilion at 3:20 pm. The Grade 5/6s will exit by the door adjacent to the Senior Learning area near the staff car park, to meet parents waiting in their vehicles or at at the front of the school . Grades 3/4 students will exit via the Activity Centre side gate, to meet parents waiting in their vehicles or at the front of the school. For the staggered starts and finishes, it is important that all our Foundation, Grade One and Grade Two students arrive BEFORE the 8:50 am bell in the morning, and in the afternoon they depart ASAP at 3:10pm. This will support social distancing and also ease traffic and parking problems. We appreciate that many family members may look forward to seeing teachers, staff and other parents at the school gate for a chat and catch up. Unfortunately this is not the time and place for catching up at the moment. |
