Lyons Early Childhood School - An ACT Government School

LECS year 2 leaders invite families to join at our 'Walk With Us' assembly and recognise National Reconciliation Week. 2:20pm-2:50pm today.

📢 All ACT public schools CLOSED Friday 22 May 2026, 8.30am – 10.30am 📢

In order to enable industrial action and keep students safe all ACT public schools, including specialist schools and preschools, will be CLOSED from 8.30am to 10.30am on Friday 22 May 2026.

The Australian Education Union has notified the Education Directorate that its members will take part in protected industrial action, including a two-hour work stoppage next Friday 22 May 2026.

What this means for students and families:

The Education Directorate has decided to close schools to students during this time, in the interest of student and staff safety.

We expect a majority of ACT public school staff will participate in the work stoppage, meaning we are unable to confidently plan for safe and appropriate supervision for all students.

There will be no onsite supervision available for students during this time. The school day will begin at 10.30am.

Your school will let you know early next week if there are any changes to timetabling or start of day activities.

We acknowledge that school closures have significant impacts on families and these decisions are not taken lightly. We are letting families know about this change as early as possible to help with forward planning. The safety and wellbeing of our students and staff remains our highest priority.

Families are encouraged to apply by 5 June 2026 to receive an offer from 3 August 2026. Every ACT child from Kindergarten to Year 12 is guaranteed a place at their local school within their Priority Enrolment Area (PEA).
