St Leonards Primary School

The countdown is on for our Celebration Concert on Wednesday! Unfortunately parents are still not permitted on site but we have engaged a company to professionally film the performance so that you don’t miss out. The video footage will be made available online via a private link that will be provided to SLPS families when the editing process has been completed. Students have been asked to wear their costumes to school in the morning and remain in them for the day. Thanks for your support and we hope that you will be able to celebrate many times by watching the video over and over again!

The medals and certificates were presented in class to each student who completed the challenge in 2020. After a slow start and COVID interruptions we ended up with 400 students completing the challenge. We are really proud of all our readers.

Today we presented the PRC Readers For Life certificates at assembly. These students have completed eight or nine years of the Premier's Reading Challenge. 

Well done to Damian L from Room 11A, Muhammad A, Wil A, Elijah C, Michael M, Alexander M and Anna S from Room 11B, Daniel C, Kayleigh D, Owen J, Ashlee J, Lilli M, Jacob N, Mason R and Molly S from Room 10 for completing eight years. Congratulations to Nejla S from Room 10 for completing nine years.

Anybody else spend the first day of lockdown just hanging out with the family?

Our frogs spent the day sitting on their rock with the occasional dip in the water to keep cool.  Just before the lockdown was announced some of students were busy researching what type of frogs we have. We found a cool app from Frogwatch SA and discovered our frogs are Brown Tree Frogs, Litoria ewingi, the only tree frog naturally found in Adelaide and the Mt Lofty Ranges. 

We think they are pretty cute.

Children with poor oral health are more likely to experience pain, to miss days from school and to perform poorly in the classroom. 

Untreated tooth decay can lead to problems with speaking, eating and learning.

SA Dental Service sees over 80,000 children for dental care each year, but data shows that 57.5% of eligible children in SA are not using the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule.

There are no out of pocket costs for children covered by the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule
