Welcome back to Term 3!
I hope you all had a fantastic break and are feeling refreshed and ready for an exciting Term ahead. I know it’s not always a break for parents and carers though so for those who have been juggling work and the kids I’m sure going back to routine is welcomed.
Whether you explored new places or enjoyed cosy moments at home, we're thrilled to have you back and ready for another amazing term together.
We are excited to have Cindy Crawford joining us this term, a very warm welcome to our school community! We are thrilled to have you with us and look forward to getting to know you and helping you settle in.
Last week, was NAIDOC Week, a significant time for our school community to honour and celebrate the achievements of Aboriginal and Islander peoples across our great country and we hope that our future is one where we all grow together in understanding and unity. This week students will be engaging in different activities across the week celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples

CHILD SAFETY & WELLBEING
Lumen Christi Primary School is a child safe school. We are committed to embedding a culture of Child Safety, adhering to the Victorian Child Safe Standards: Managing the Risk of Child Abuse in Schools and School Boarding Premises (Ministeral Order No. 1359).
We believe that ensuring the safety of the students in our care is an integral part of who we are as a Catholic faith community. The school acts in accordance with the Ministerial Order through policies, procedures, measures and practices, staff training and, ultimately, through the strategies used in working with the students and families within our school community.
We continue to maintain and develop a safe and supportive learning environment where staff are focused on engaging students in meaningful, relevant and challenging learning experiences.
If at any time you have any issues or concerns you feel you need to raise please contact our Principal: Sally Darby or our Child Safety Officers: Kristie Smith, Elly Smith or Janelle Szkwarek on 5122 2231
