Welcome to the Leumeah PS school website.
At LPS, students are fortunate to live and learn on Dharawal land. This is reflected in our school grounds with our mural featuring a Lyrebird and the visual story our First Nations students developed with local elder Michael Fardon.
We are a school that, "Strives for excellence." These high expectations underpin our core values of Be Safe, Be Respectful and Be a Learner. Our students are improving their learning dispositions, focusing on Be Reflection and Be Resilient. Morning circle routines, the Zones of Regulation and participation in The Anxiety Project support students to be ready to learn with high support and challenge. Students who are reflective and resilient with their learning are celebrated at Striving for Excellence Assemblies, held 6 times a year.
Students have agency over the school's offering of extra-curricular activities. As a result we have a thriving choir and dance groups, along with chess, gardening, film and Rubik's cube clubs.
Over 50% of our students are from language backgrounds other than English and 5% Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students. LPS is comprised of mainstream classes with an Opportunity Class and Autism Support Class. We are proud of our strong Learning and Support structures with a focus on inclusive learning environments in which students thrive.
Our staff are committed to improving the literacy and numeracy outcomes for all students. They are dedicated to maintaining high standards in teaching and learning. Teaching and learning programs feature explicit teaching, supporting students to achieve their learning goals. There is a strong teacher mentoring program and quality professional learning that is targeted, ensuring a supported induction to the profession and continuous improvement for staff.
We are fortnuate to be strongly supported by our community and the P&C are active in providing opportunitiies for fundraising with a focus on resources for students.
At the core of effective collaborative partnerships between the school and home, are trust and communication. There are many avenues to communicate with school staff. At LPS staff will work with you to ensure that children are succeeding and thriving at school.
