OUR SCHOOL

AT A GLANCE

ANGLICAN SCHOOL

Lakes Grammar is a K-12 co-educational Anglican school and is a part of the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle. We welcome families of all religious backgrounds and those with no religion.

TWO DISTINCT

CAMPUSES

Lakes Grammar is situated at the northern end of the Central Coast and is surrounded by bushland and open space. The school has two distinct spaces, Junior School (K to 6) and Senior School (Years 7 to 12) providing our students with the tailored environments they need to grow and develop whilst being joined by a boardwalk for easy access between the two campuses.

Monday 18 July 2022

Lakes Grammar continues to have a focus on student and staff wellbeing while we continue to manage ongoing concerns around COVID-19. We are keenly aware that this term is the last formal term of face-to-face teaching for Year 12 and Years 4 and 5 have camps shortly.

As we return to school in this challenging winter period, all staff have been asked to wear masks while indoors and students are strongly encouraged to wear masks while indoors.

Staff and students are not to attend school if they are unwell or have COVID-19 symptoms. If you are a close contact or test positive, please email the school (and cc your class teacher [junior school] or year advisor [senior school]) via COVIDstudents@lakes.nsw.edu.au

If you test positive you must not attend school for the isolation period. If you have any questions about work or assessments while your child is absent, again, please contact your class teacher (junior school) or year advisor (senior school).

While we try to maximise ventilation in the classrooms – we encourage your children to ensure that they dress warmly enough but ask that any additional layers are worn under the uniform – not on top of the uniform. We will continue to review and assess our case numbers on a regular basis. Thank you for your support.

Please follow the link to the latest COVID-19 updates from NSW Health with all the specific details.

If you have any questions, please email the school on admin@lakes.nsw.edu.au
