Interoception/The lair

Interoceptive awareness can be broadly defined as the conscious perception of internal bodily cues such as heartbeat and breathing and is related to emotional experiences. Having interoceptive awareness is key in having self-regulation skills. Here at Light Pass PS, we teach interoceptive awareness daily in our classrooms, as well as in small groups with our SWSO.

Student Wellbeing Support Officer

We are very fortunate to be funded for a Student Wellbeing Support Officer. Becky Barnett is our SWSO and she works collaboratively with our teachers to support our students and families and their wellbeing. Becky guides student voice to agency in the Student Leaders and Student Representative Council through meetings, fundraisers, assemblies and opportunities to contribute to the wider community.

Playgroup

Light Pass Primary School has an active Playgroup which is held every Friday of the school term from 9:00am-11:00am.

The Light Pass Primary School Playgroup provides young children with the opportunity to participate in creative and unstructured play experiences. Learning through play is essential for the child’s development, exploration and understanding of the world.

Sport

Every year we join with other schools such as Truro PS, Keyneton PS, Cambrai PS, Wasleys PS, Robertstown PS and Sandy Creek PS to have a Combined Schools Sports Day. These are a lot of fun!

We hold swimming lessons every year for students in Reception to Year 5 at The Rex in Tanunda. Year 6 students participate in an aquatics day at West Lakes Aquatics in Term 4 which involves a variety of aquatic activities such as kayaking, surfing and snorkelling.
