Good afternoon, from LCS.

My email update today includes information on:

Art Exhibition
Music Festival
Culture Week
Positive Social

 

Art Exhibition

Our annual Art Exhibition will take place on the evening of 15th July.

This is a chance for parents, carers and members of our school community to visit school and view some of the incredible artwork produced by our students.

It is always an amazing event, so please look out for publicity on our social media channels, with more details.

I hope as many of you as possible will be able to join us.

 

Music Festival

Our Summer Music festival will be held on Tuesday 8th July, from 6-30pm in the Main Hall.

Tickets are on sale now on Parentpay and can be collected from Mrs Lowe.

Tickets are currently selling well, so please purchase in advance to guarantee your seat. Limited seats, if available, can also be purchased on the door at the event.

Our students have some amazing talent and many have gone on to a career in music, including playing at the Glastonbury Festival this year.

Our Music Festival is always a brilliant event.

 

Culture Week

Next week will be our first LCS Culture Week, where we will be celebrating the diverse cultures of our students and staff.

Several events are being organised, including a Culture Fair, food sales and competitions.

There is a non-uniform day for Sixth Form students only as part of this event.

We will be promoting Culture Week with students over the next few days and we hope it will become an annual school event, in the future.

 

Positive Social

On 15th July, students in Year 7 will be working in school with Positive Social, a charity set up to support schools with education around safe social media use.

Positive Social have an online parents’ session taking place on the evening of 7th July, which would be particularly relevant for parents/carers of students in Year 7, but also for all other parents/carers interested in attending.

 

Details can be found and tickets booked at https://www.tickettailor.com/events/positivesocial/1712185

 

Positive Social have said.. 

Help your child make positive, informed choices on social media through an interactive online session run by Derby-based national charity, Positive Social. With social media being such a big part of our children’s lives, how can we set appropriate boundaries that actually work? How can we foster an environment where our children feel comfortable sharing their social media experiences with us? If your child is already on social media – or will be soon – you’ll find this session invaluable. It’s free but donations are encouraged to help Positive Social deliver its free sessions in schools.

 

Thank you for your continued support of our school, our students and our staff.

I plan to send one final email update just before end of term, which as you know will be on 25th July.

 

Keep safe.
