Dean of Primary - 17 July
PRIMARY NEWS – Cameron Wigan
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Welcome to Term 3. I hope that the holidays were a great opportunity to rest and refresh after a busy semester. This term promises to be equally rewarding, with a new round of co-curricular activities and some significant community events. The Walkathon, Sports Day and Father’s Day are just some of the highlights coming up and I encourage all families to support these events and enjoy the connection to the College.
On Thursday, 23 July, the College will be open for the annual “Open Day.” The event will run from 4:00-7:00pm and includes school tours and displays. It is a great opportunity to see the facilities and gain a snapshot of the Lauries Journey. Please bring the event to the attention of any families you know who might like to join the Lauries family. Current families are also very welcome to attend, especially to have a look at aspects of the College you might not be familiar with in the secondary school.
Reports
I trust that all parents found Semester 1 Report Cards informative and an accurate reflection of your son’s academic and social progress this year. Many of the boys should be very proud of their academic results and engagement ratings. We commend all students who worked hard and achieved their potential throughout Terms 1 and 2. All boys are encouraged to concentrate on the areas that were identified for improvement, to begin the new semester with purpose and focus.
Student Led Conferences – Monday 27 July
Information has been sent out this week regarding the process for the Student Led Conferences. Please refer to the email for any specific information. Please note that Monday July 27 is a student free day for yr5-12.
Important Date for Year 6 Families
On Friday, 4 September, the College will be running the Orientation Day for Year 5 and Year 7 (2027). Current Year 6 students will be required to attend the day as part of their transition and preparation for Year 7. More details about the day, including uniform and times will be sent out in coming weeks. All Year 6 boys should be available to attend the Orientation Day with the incoming Year 7’s for 2027.
Thank you for all of the support you give to the staff and boys. Enjoy the upcoming term.
Kind Regards,
Cameron Wigan
