CHILDREN'S COMMISSIONER VISITS LOUGH VIEW We were delighted to welcome Koulla Yiasouma, the NI Commisioner for Children and Young People, to our school today. Koulla showed the children her wonderful Rights Respecting Cape which is a unique way of showcasing the rights of children and the responsibility that Koulla has as their protector and advocate. Koulla was accompanied by Ken Smith who works at NICCY and is a Lough View parent. As usual our children were wonderful ambassadors for our school and took our visitors on a tour of the building and site. Thanks to Mrs Wallace for helping to make the visit happen.

Well done to everyone who took part in the Life Guards programme last year. We were delighted to hear that Lough View won the title of 'The Fittest Primary School' in NI- what an amazing achievement!! Well done to Josh and Olivia who both achieved top fitness scores and to everyone who worked so hard and challenged themselves.
Lough View sends a massive thanks to both Laurence and Luke for everything they do in school. What an amazing programme and what a superb achievement!
Go team Lough View!

Our wonderful school is 25 years old this year! What an amazing achievement and journey so far!

URGENT UPDATE
Dear Parents/Carers
Please note that following the 1.30 pick- ups, the school grounds should be vacated by everyone other than authorised staff and children. Already this term there have been reports of small children playing unsupervised in the nursery and other playgrounds. This is not permitted as it causes problems for our school from a health and safety/insurance perspective and also because it disturbs the teachers and children who are still working in cl...ass or around the grounds.
There is also a steady stream of children being sent by parents to use the toilets between 1.30 and 2.30, while they are waiting in the car park. While we have no objection to the toilets being used in an emergency, this should not be a routine.
Parents are welcome to enter the Y1 playground at the side door from 2.15 onwards but should endeavour to supervise any accompanying children.
Playground Car Park
Thanks to the kindness of parent volunteers, we should be able to continue to operate this facility this year. The only parents permitted in this area are those who have parked in it. Parents parked elsewhere should wait for their children outside the gate as it is dangerous for children to traverse this area while it is being used.
Thanks for your cooperation
Mr McKnight and the Board of Governors

CAR PARK VOLUNTEERS
Dear Parents/Carers
At present we only have enough volunteers to open the ‘playground car park’ on Monday and Tuesday. If you intend to use this important facility please consider helping out. We need 6 additional helpers as we work in pairs. If you’re not sure of what it entails please see below.
... • You will be needed between 2.15 to 2.40 for 1 day per week. • Training is provided. • You will be guaranteed a parking space in the playground on the days you cover. • Your children can use Stay and Play from 2.30 – 2.40 and you can pick them up when your shift is completed. If your child is in Stay and Play from 1.30 to 2.30 they can stay the extra 10 mins. • You can make a commitment term by term, rather than for the entire year.
Thanks for any help you can offer
Mr McKnight
