Thank you so much to all the families who attended our Halloween event last Thursday! We hope you all had a great time. 

The event wouldn’t have been able to happen without all the hard working volunteers and help from the admin team. Special thanks to Melissa M who stepped up to spearhead the event. Thank you also to the students who provided their spooky artworks as decoration!


Fish Tank
As you may have noticed, Seaquaria isn’t operating this year. In the meantime, LEPAC has been able to fund a tank through The Fish Guys. Look out for our new swimming friends coming in this week. We hope it will brighten the foyer and provide some enjoyment to our community.


Class Reps

We are in need of Class Reps for the 22/23 year. 

A class rep is a parent/guardian who works hand in hand with the class teacher, Lochside PAC and parents to ensure all information is shared. This is an amazing way to get to know your child's teacher and other parents in the class. A class rep also helps organize helpers within their class when needed.

Some of the duties of the class rep are:

  • Creation of class communication list

  • Responsible to email important information from teacher or PAC

  • Attend monthly LEPAC meetings (when possible)


Sign up here to be a Class Rep
