At Lansvale Public School we are determined to shift our students’ mindset from one of “Learning to Achieve” to “Learning to Learn”.
Lansvale Public School is a high stakes school situated in south-west Sydney. The current student enrolment is 790 students from P-6, including 94% from a non-English speaking background. The school has a committed, collaborative and enthusiastic staff, with a mixture of experienced and early career teachers. The school plans and priorities are driven by an effective learning community culture.
We have high expectations of students, teachers and parents as equal partners in rigorous and authentic learning experiences. The school has an active Parents and Citizens Association and numerous significant projects with strong links to the community through the community engagement team. Our school is a place where passion and enthusiasm abound.
We have outstanding early childhood programs including preschool, a range of high achievement learning initiatives catering for gifted and talented students, for students with learning difficulties and students with English as an additional dialect.
We are heavily invested in ensuring that everything we do is reflective of our whole school learning focussed culture. We are relentless in our pursuit of deep and rigorous teacher professional learning that is relevant, ongoing and of exceptional quality. Our mantra is “that to be an exemplary teacher one must first be a dedicated learner!”
Whilst our literacy and numeracy teaching and learning is explicit and personalised, we also demand that relevance and significance are strongly considered when learning is designed by teams of educators. Our Value Added student performance demonstrates student growth at 1.5 years of school annually. This is a foundation upon which our future focused learning programs build as sound literacy and numeracy opens the door for deeper more engaging learning, motivating our students as intrinsic learners.
