Lardner and District Primary School is located on Burnt Store Rd in a quiet rural setting. The school is situated to the south of both Warragul and Drouin. We currently have an enrolment of 73 students.
Our Vision:
Building a community of active learners through Empowerment, Engagement, Deeper Thinking and Resilience.
At Lardner we want happy, healthy and resilient students that have a love of learning that continues with them throughout life. We are committed to working with each student so they build the knowledge and skills to be active learners that can monitor and manage their own learning.
We build active learning through independent and collaborative opportunities where students are encouraged to make important decisions that impact on their learning in positive ways. We empower our students to explore connections, ask questions, make decisions, and reflect on their learning as they engage in play, projects and more formalised learning opportunities.
Our school values reflect our strong focus on learning. We encourage all members of our community to work together to ensure we have an inclusive, welcoming and respectful school. We care for the environment and through our comprehensive curriculum we build the capacity of our students to be creative and resourceful.
Values:
Inclusion: We promote an inclusive culture of kindness, care and respect of our people and place. (That¿s the Lardner Way)
Environment and Sustainability: We work with the environment to create learning opportunities, while respecting the traditional land.
A Culture of High Expectations: We have high expectations of ourselves and others and celebrate the personal journey of growth for all.
Community Engagement: We build student, teacher, parent and community partnerships to enrich learning.
