Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome back to Term 4! We hope everyone has returned feeling refreshed and ready for a vibrant and engaging final term of the year. Term 4 promises to be filled with rich learning experiences and wonderful opportunities for our students to shine.

Liverpool/Glenfield Public Speaking Competition

Congratulations to our four Zone finalists — Muhammad Ashal, Ayla, Nouun and Anaaya — who proudly represented Liverpool PS at the Liverpool/Glenfield Public Speaking Competition. Each student spoke with confidence and enthusiasm, showcasing outstanding communication skills. A special congratulations to Ayla for being awarded the runner-up prize in the Stage 1 competition. We are incredibly proud of all our participants and their wonderful achievements!

Student Leadership for 2026

Next week I will be working with Ms Dunlop and Ms Longo to commence the process for 2026 Student Leadership positions. Year 5 students will be informed of the Student Leadership Policy and what the EOI Leadership Application form involves. Being elected as part of the School Student Leadership team comes with great responsibility and I know that we grow leaders at Liverpool Public School.

Liverpool Arts and Film Festival (LAaFF)

Next week on Tuesday 21 October our students in the Liverpool K-6 Choir and junior and senior Dance Groups will be performing at the Liverpool Catholic Club for our annual celebration known as the Liverpool Arts and Film Festival (LAaFF). Tickets are $15 each and is a night of celebration within the Arts. We would love to see our students supported by our school community on this evening.

2026 Kindergarten Transition

We are excited to host our 2026 Kindergarten transition in the coming weeks. We have allocated three sessions for this: Tuesday 4 November, Wednesday 12 November and Thursday 20 November from 9am-10:45am. We look forward to welcoming our new students and their families to our lovely school community. Additionally, we are continuing our Kindergarten enrolment meetings. If you are aware of any students coming to Kindergarten in 2026, please let them know to contact our office.

Planning for 2026

We are currently planning for 2026. It would very much be appreciated that if your child/ren are moving schools in 2026 and not returning to LPS that we are made aware. This will ensure that we set up the commencement of the year successfully for our school community. We have sent home a form through School Bytes and we would appreciate if parents and carers could complete the form by the due date. If you are planning on travelling over the summer break and may miss the beginning of the new school year, please make sure you give the office a copy of your travel arrangements, so that we can include your child into our student numbers.

Family Holidays

Education for your child is important and regular attendance at school is essential for your child to achieve their educational best and increase their career and life options. NSW public schools work in partnership with parents to encourage and support regular attendance of children and young people. When your child attends school every day, learning becomes easier and your child will build and maintain friendships with other children.

Families are encouraged to travel during school holidays. Absences relating to travel will be marked as leave on the roll and therefore contribute to your child’s total absences for the year. In some circumstances students may be eligible to enrol in distance education for travel periods over 50 school days.

After School Pick-Up

School finishes at 3:00pm each day the school is open for operation. Thank you to all the parents and carers who are collecting their children between 3pm-3:10pm. Your support helps ensure a smooth end to the school day for everyone.

Each afternoon, our executive staff member on after-school duty take students not collected by 3:10pm to the office for pick-up. Please ensure your child is collected no later than 3:15pm. If you are running late, we ask that you contact the school office as soon as possible so we can notify your child’s teacher.

Families are also reminded that before and after school care is available on site and may need to be considered for regular late pick-ups. Thank you to all the parents and carers who collect their children on time each day, we truly appreciate your cooperation and support.

Semester 2 Reports

As we move into Term 4, our teachers are busy preparing student reports as part of the Semester 2 reporting period. This is a detailed and thoughtful process, where teachers reflect on each student’s progress, achievements, and areas for further growth. These reports provide families with a clear picture of learning throughout the semester and celebrate the hard work students have put into their learning. We appreciate the dedication of our teachers during this important time.

Term 4 Events

We have an exciting and busy few weeks ahead with several key events on our Term 4 calendar. We will be competing in our final two gala days for Season 3, giving students more opportunities to demonstrate teamwork, resilience, and school spirit. A major highlight this term is the Year 6 overnight camp, our first one in many years, which is sure to be a memorable and rewarding experience for our senior students. Our Years 2–6 Swimming and Safety Program will also run intensively over two weeks, helping students build essential skills and confidence in the water. We will finish the year by celebrating the efforts and achievements of our students at our Annual Presentation Day, a special event that brings our school community together.

As always if you have any questions please contact the school office on 9602 7882.

Dear Parents and Carers,

I would like to take a moment to thank you for your continued support in making Liverpool Public School a wonderful and positive centre of our community. Your involvement and encouragement play a crucial role in our students' success.

I also want to congratulate our students on their outstanding achievements this semester! Your hard work and dedication have truly shone through. As I look ahead, I am excited for another semester filled with high student engagement and learning opportunities.

Check In Assessment

All students in Years 3 to 6 will be participating in Check-in assessments which will take place between 25 August and 26 September.

This online assessment helps us understand how well your child is doing in reading, maths, and writing. It includes a reading test and a maths test for all students. Year 6 students will also complete a writing task. Each reading and maths test will take up to 60 minutes, and the writing task for Year 6 is designed to take 40 minutes.

Year 1 Phonics Screening Check

All students in year 1 will be participating in the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check from 11 to 29 August. This is a quick assessment that helps teachers see how well students are doing with phonics. The check takes only 5–7 minutes and is done one-on-one in the classroom by your child’s teacher.

Public Education Week

We are excited to announce that we will be celebrating Public Education Week from 4 to 8 August 2025! This year's theme is "Ignite Your Potential," we encourage everyone to join us in recognising the importance of Public Education in our community.

To kick off the celebrations, we will hold a whole school assembly that promises to be a fantastic event. The assembly will feature special highlights, including our talented performance teams who will showcase their skills with exciting performances that are sure to inspire and entertain everyone in attendance.

As we approach the winter break, I would like to wish all our families a restful and enjoyable time together. Take this opportunity to relax, recharge, and create wonderful memories with your loved ones. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed and ready for the new term!

Warm regards

Mrs G. Longo

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.
