Congratulations to our A1 winners for Thursdays focus value #creativity. It has been a brilliant week, where we have seen thousands of rewards given to our brilliant students. Well done to everyone. At the end of the day today, we will count up the total number of A1s, for our big Friday draw! Creativity at Lacon means we develop the literacy skills on which all further learning depends, cultivate creativity by providing a broad base of academic knowledge that students need to be properly creative. The knowledge we deliver is powerful in that it changes students’ perceptions, values and understanding. Students are encouraged to ask questions and explore alternate explanations. Students are asked to be expressive, share ideas and to think outside of the box. Exploration and experimentation is encouraged. A willingness to demonstrate infectious enthusiasm for their learning and to be brave when experiencing new things. #Creativity #LaconMe #LoveLacon ...

Congratulations to our Wednesday winners, who were recognised for demonstrating our value #Integrity. At Lacon, integrity means: We treat others with respect and honesty. We take care of our environment and utilise knowledge and understanding wisely. We nurture our students so that they become young adults of principle and character who support each other in their quest for excellence. Students are encouraged to always do the right thing even when no one is watching and take ownership of their actions both positive and negative. We want students to be open minded and respect the views and opinions of others, calling out negativity and accepting that we are all different and appreciate and learn from our differences. ‘Be an upstander not a bystander’ #LaconMe #Integrity. ...
