TERM 3 WEEK 8
Dear valued member of the PLC community,
Languages Assembly
Last Friday at the Junior School Languages Assembly, we enjoyed performances delivered in multiple languages.
One of the attributes of the Learner Profile is to be a communicator. Students across multiple year groups communicated splendidly in Chinese and French.
Welcome Alisdair McLaren – Head of PLC Pipe Band
We are delighted to announce the appointment of Mr Alisdair McLaren as our new Head of Pipe Band.
He will commence with us on Monday 24 October.

Important Information
Grandparents and Special Friends Day & Arts Day
Thank you to everyone in our community who has supported us with the unexpected rescheduling and compacting of the Junior School Arts Day to the afternoon of Tuesday 20 September. We are disappointed that we cannot run the day as planned, but the last few years have taught us to be adaptable, flexible, and open-minded.
Individual instrumental performers will be invited to play before a Junior School Assembly if they have not had an opportunity this year. For those students who were preparing a dance or drama item, their performance might be shared in class with a year group at a later date.
We are all looking forward to celebrating family, friends, and the Arts together on this special day.
