We are accepting enrolments for Kindergarten 2027. Please use the online enrolment form to begin the enrolment process. Once submitted a member of our team will contact you. It is important to enrol your child early so that they are included in our upcoming transition program.

If your child or someone you know has a child who turns 5 before 31 July 2027 and we are the local school or your school of choice, they can enrol at Liverpool Public School for Kindergarten 2027.

We are asking parents and carers to contact the school if you have any children with additional needs enrolling in Kindergarten 2027. Parents and carers should also provide the school with any reports you may have outlining your child's needs.

Our process of arranging interviews for students who have already enrolled to start next year will be commencing soon. If this applies to your family, please expect a call from the school to arrange a time shortly.

Dear Parents and Carers,

Term 3 is already shaping up to be a busy and exciting term at Liverpool Public School. We have many opportunities planned for our students to learn, grow, participate and celebrate together.

NSW Public Education Week – Inspiring Excellence

This week, we celebrated NSW Public Education Week and the wonderful theme of “Inspiring Excellence.” During our special assembly, we proudly recognised two students from each class who consistently demonstrate excellence through their learning, effort, kindness, resilience and positive contributions to our school community. Congratulations to all of our award recipients, we are incredibly proud of your achievements! A special thank you also goes to our wonderful students for their outstanding performances, which made the celebration a truly memorable occasion.

We were also incredibly proud to see Liverpool Public School’s NSW Public Education Week celebration shared across NSW by Murat Dizdar, Secretary of the NSW Department of Education, highlighting the wonderful celebrations taking place at our school. What a fantastic recognition of our students, staff and school community!

Premier’s Spelling Bee Regional Finals

Congratulations to Omar (4M) and Nouun (5D) for proudly representing Liverpool Public School at the Premier’s Spelling Bee Regional Finals! Both students demonstrated outstanding commitment, confidence and determination, and their achievements are certainly worthy of celebration. Omar progressed all the way to Round 9, finishing an impressive 7th overall, while Nouun reached Round 3, successfully spelling some incredibly challenging words along the way. We are so proud of both students for their wonderful efforts, perseverance and impressive spelling talent. You represented our school with pride and did an outstanding job!

K–6 Athletics Carnival

Our K–6 Athletics Carnival was a fantastic celebration of participation, teamwork and school spirit. It was wonderful to see students enthusiastically taking part in a range of events, encouraging one another and demonstrating outstanding sportsmanship throughout the day. Whether competing on the track, in the field, or cheering on their peers, our students embodied our school values of being safe, respectful, responsible learners. A special highlight was seeing our new sports hats proudly worn by students in their house groups. The vibrant splash of colour across the carnival created an exciting atmosphere and showcased the strong sense of belonging and house pride within our school community. Thank you to our staff, students and families who helped make the day such a memorable success.

Learning in the Classrooms

Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting 4W to see the wonderful projects they had created as part of their designing of our new space. Students developed possible ideas for what could replace the current demountable space at our school. They began by considering many possible design options, surveying students, collecting and analysing data, creating graphs and using this information to design the active area concepts. It was wonderful to see every student confidently explain their design process and work so collaboratively as part of a team. Their creativity, problem-solving skills and ability to listen to the ideas of others were outstanding. Congratulations to 4W on your wonderful designs and excellent teamwork!

Gala Days - Season 2

Congratulations to our wonderful Gala Day teams: Rugby League, Netball and Boys Soccer on an outstanding season! After completing four rounds of competition, our students have developed new skills, demonstrated excellent teamwork and shown true sportsmanship both on and off the field. Each week, our students represented Liverpool Public School with pride, displaying commitment, resilience and a positive attitude while supporting their teammates. We are incredibly proud of the way they have embraced the opportunity to participate, learn and grow through sport. A special thank you to the coaches Ms Vo, Mrs Gauci, Ms Yilmaz and Mr Wann for their dedication, organisation and encouragement in supporting our teams throughout the Gala Day season. Your commitment has provided our students with valuable experiences and wonderful memories.

Expression of Interest – 2026 Liverpool Christmas Card Competition

We are excited to share that students have the opportunity to take part in the 2026 Liverpool Christmas Card Competition, an initiative by Charishma Kaliyanda MP our Member for Liverpool.

If your child is interested in participating, they are encouraged to see me to collect an entry sheet. Completed entries must be returned to me by no later than Friday 18 September (Term 3 Week 9). This is a wonderful opportunity for students to showcase their creativity and represent our school community.

K-6 PDHPE Programs – Term 3

Students in K-6 will be involved in the mandatory subject Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE). This subject prepares and supports students to lead, and contribute to, healthy, safe and meaningful lives which promote respect, responsibility, enjoyment, inclusion and social justice for self and others.

Our school’s PDHPE program covers a wide range of education matter, including relationships, drug use, human sexuality, child protection, fundamental movement skill development, safety and physical activity. Some of the content of the program deals with sensitive issues. The school recognises this by teaching about these issues within the context of a developmentally appropriate program and by providing information to you about the program.

For more information about PDHPE go to https://syllabus.nesa.nsw.edu.au/pdhpe/ The school program aims to encourage students to make informed decisions about their lifestyle taking into account the values of the family, culture, and religion to which they belong. The school program will be implemented in a manner that supports the role of parents and caregivers and reflects the ethos of the school community. If you have any further questions or concerns please speak to your child's teacher or Stage Assistant Principal.

Primary Principal's Day Thank You

A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful Liverpool Public School community for the beautiful gifts, kind messages and warm wishes I received for Primary Principal’s Day. I truly appreciate the thoughtfulness and generosity shown by our students, families and staff. It is a privilege to lead such a supportive and caring school community, and I feel very grateful to work alongside such wonderful people each day. Your kindness and encouragement mean so much to me. Thank you for making Primary Principal’s Day so special!

Finally we look forward to celebrating Science Week, Book Week and our Book Character Parade, Kindergarten’s 100 Days of Learning, our annual Book Fair, and many other engaging learning experiences throughout the term. These events provide fantastic opportunities for students to share their creativity, develop new skills and celebrate their achievements with their peers, teachers and families. We encourage all families to stay connected through School Bytes and our school communication channels for important dates, updates and information about upcoming events. We look forward to sharing these special moments with our school community. As always, your support and involvement make a real difference. Here’s to a successful and inspiring Term 3!

Mrs Jenny Vajdevski

Principal

Congratulations on an enormous effort with attendance in Term 2. Our achievements include:

a whole school attendance rate of 91.7%
106 students attended 100%
292 students attended 90%-99%
4M won the Years 3-6 attendance with an attendance rate of 95%

1G won the Years K-2 attendance with an attendance rate of 93%
1G and 4M students will each receive a pizza party for their awesome attendance.

Below is our attendance data per grade. Congratulations all grades achieved higher than 90%. Our aim is 95%, so let's make this happen in Term 3!

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

As the weather begins to cool down, we remind all families to ensure students wear their full winter uniform to school.

Year 1 Phonics Screener

Phonics means learning the sounds that letters make. This helps your child learn to read and write.

In Year 1, all students in NSW will take a short phonics check between 10 to 28 August. The check lasts about 5–7 minutes, where your child reads 40 words aloud, 20 real words and 20 “nonsense” words. These nonsense words help teachers see if your child can blend sounds, not just remember words. The goal is to understand how your child is learning and to provide extra support if needed.

We ask that you read with your child every night for at least 10 minutes to ensure sufficient practice of letter sound relationships.

Education Week

On Monday, 3 August, we held a special Education Week assembly. It was wonderful to see so many families and community members join us onsite to support our students. Our students danced, sang, and showed their amazing talents, inspiring us all to strive for excellence.

Congratulations to all our award winners for their hard work and commitment to inspiring excellence in our school community. Thank you for being part of this memorable event!

We look forward to more opportunities to celebrate and learn together.

Kindergarten 2027

Kindergarten enrolments for 2027 are now open! If your child will be starting school next year, we invite you to enrol now.

Kindergarten interviews will be held from Monday, 3 August through to Monday, 2 November. The office administrators will be contacting you shortly to book in your interview time.

Save the date for our Kindergarten transition dates :

Tuesday, 3 November
Wednesday, 11 November
Thursday, 19 November

We look forward to meeting our new Kindergarten students and welcoming them to our school community.

Warm Regards

Mrs Longo

Deputy Principal

The theme for NSW Public Education Week 2026 is “Inspiring Excellence,” celebrating the incredible achievements, growth and contributions of students, staff and communities across public schools. This theme recognises that excellence looks different for every student and is reflected in effort, perseverance, creativity, kindness, leadership and a commitment to doing our best. At Liverpool Public School, we are proud to celebrate the many ways our students inspire excellence each day through their learning, relationships and positive contributions to our school community. Congratulations to our award recipients:

Stage 3 students have been busy working on their History research projects. A selection of their work is now on display in the library, showcasing their learning about the importance of Aboriginal Languages, the impact of colonisation, and the ongoing efforts to revitalise and preserve these Languages. We look forward to sharing their next learning journey as students explore the structure of the Australian Government and discover how citizens can actively participate in Australia's democracy.

On Tuesdays, students have been enjoying an energetic dance program delivered by ZING Activ. Through styles including disco, hip hop and jive, they are exploring the elements of dance while building confidence, coordination and teamwork. It has been wonderful to see students challenge themselves, have fun and embrace new experiences each week.

August is shaping up to be an exciting month in the Liverpool Public School Library, with an author visit, Book Week celebrations and our Larrikin House Book Fair.

Jules Faber Author Visit

On Wednesday 5 August, we are delighted to welcome award-winning Australian cartoonist, author and illustrator Jules Faber. Jules is best known for illustrating Anh Do's popular WeirDo series and has illustrated more than 30 books. During his visit, students will learn about cartooning, creating comics, and developing memorable characters and stories.

Book Week and Larrikin House Book Fair

Book Week will be celebrated during Week 6, from Monday 24 August to Friday 28 August. As part of the celebrations, the Larrikin House Book Fair will be open in the school library.

Students may purchase books during their scheduled library session or at lunchtime. Parents and carers are invited to visit after school from 3:00-3:25 pm, Monday to Thursday.

Purchase Online

A percentage of all Book Fair sales will support the purchase of new books for our school library. Thank you for encouraging a love of reading and supporting our library collection.

LEARNING IN THE LIBRARY

Early Stage 1 - Kindergarten

Kindergarten students have begun exploring positional language through engaging picture books based on locations, movement and journeys. These include Rosie's Walk, Possum Magic, Banjo and Ruby Red, Dear Zoo and We're Going on a Bear Hunt. Students are learning to describe where characters and objects are located using words such as over, under, through, beside, behind and between.

Students will also develop positional language and early coding skills through the use of Blue-Bot floor robots. They will learn to plan and enter a sequence of directional commands to move a Blue-Bot towards a chosen destination. Through these playful activities, students will begin to understand sequencing, simple algorithms, problem-solving and debugging - that is, identifying and correcting a command when the Blue-Bot does not follow the intended path.

Stage 1

Stage 1 students have been exploring this year's Book Week theme, Symphony of Stories. They have considered how a story can be compared to a musical symphony and analysed the visual imagery accompanying the theme.

Students have investigated how the conductor, musicians and instruments can represent authors, readers, characters and story elements such as plot and setting. Just as each instrument contributes something important to a symphony, every character, event and setting contributes to the richness of a story.

Stages 2 and 3

Students in Stages 2 and 3 have explored the Symphony of Stories metaphor in greater depth. They have examined the connected roles of the conductor, composer and musicians and related these to authors, readers and the many elements involved in creating and experiencing literature.

After observing symphony orchestras in concert, students identified the important contribution each instrument makes to the overall soundscape. We connected this idea to the way every story introduces new characters, places, perspectives and experiences into our minds.

As we journey through life, the stories we read continue to teach, comfort and inspire us. We may hold particular favourites close to our hearts, but it is the combined memory of all the stories we encounter that creates our own rich 'symphony' of thoughts, ideas and feelings.

Coming Up in Library Lessons

Students in Years 1-6 will explore different ways of reviewing literature and sharing their responses with others. They will work towards creating reviews of books recognised in the 2026 Children's Book Week Awards.

During the second half of Term 3, students will develop their digital and media literacy skills. They will investigate reputable sources, misinformation and 'fake news', while learning why it is important to question, evaluate and analyse media messages before accepting them as true.

The school uniform is an important part of our school. We have an expectation that our students will wear their school uniform proudly when they are attending school, on excursions or representing the school in representative sport or the arts. We ask that you support the school by ensuring your children are wearing their uniform. We have a school uniform and sports uniform. Sport shorts are not interchangeable with school shorts. They are different colours. Black school shoes are to be worn with their school uniform and black or white sneakers can be worn for sport days. A component of our school uniform is our school hat and can be purchased from MUE.

Friends of Liverpool

Join us every Monday at 2:15pm in the hall for a cuppa and light refreshments for our Friends of Liverpool afternoon tea. It is a great way to meet new parents and carers and ask questions of our staff in attendance.

Second hand Uniform Shop

Our second-hand unform shop has a selection of pre-loved uniforms at a low cost to our school community. We sell both new and pre loved items to support our families. The uniform shop is open every Monday and Thursday afternoon from 2:15pm-2:50pm near the hall.

Breakfast Club

Our Breakfast Club is back again in 2026 and will be held every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning from 8:25am-8:45am. Our staff volunteer their time each week to prepare and serve our students a healthy breakfast to prepare them for learning. Thank you to our sponsors who donate money and items to enable this program to run each week.

Free Hampers for Our School Community

Our hampers are back and available each afternoon from 3pm-3:10pm in the community room. Bags have been prepacked to ensure that all community members have an opportunity to collect in the afternoon.
