Weekly Primary News

Lighthouse participates in World Math Championship
This week, 40 primary students from Lighthouse participated in the World Maths Championships. This prestigious event, the world's largest proctored online and pen-paper based math challenge, marks Lighthouse's debut in the competition.

All participants will receive a detailed performance report and a certificate to acknowledge their efforts. Students who achieve more than 96 percentile, will receive a gold medal; a silver medal for all students between 93 and 96 percentile; and a bronze medal for all students who achieve between 90 - 93 percentile. Lighthouse encourages participation in external competitions, such as this one, as it motivates students to excel academically and personally. These opportunities allow students to challenge themselves beyond their regular curriculum, achieve worldwide recognition, and enhance their mathematical abilities, personal development, and future scholarship prospects.  Well done to all Lighthouse participants!

Grade 5 Camp Feedback

Crocodiles, mud, and outstanding resilience might sound like an unusual combination, but they summarise very well our first day of Grade 5 camp. 

The team of 40 students and 5 teachers, enjoyed a muddy hike, learning a lot about the hard, tricky, rocky seasons in our lives, the support we need from each other, and our journey with Jesus. At the youth centre, they played a wide game in the dark (ask your child about Mr West in the tree!), made a campfire, played in the sand, and designed our own tie-dye t-shirts. Every student excelled in their behaviour, and we were so blessed to see their interest during small group discussions. We hope every Grade 5 family enjoyed hearing lots of stories from camp in the days that followed. Click here for all photos!

Yesterday you should have received a communication from our Executive Head, Mr. Paul Beatty, about our school fees for the 2025 school year. Please make sure to have read that important communication to help with your planning.
