School Philosophy

 

Lindfield East Public School aims for high level academic achievement and enthusiastic participation in physical, creative and performing arts programs for its students. A strong student welfare program exists to support students’ developing emotional and social needs as does the school uniform and discipline policy.

 

The school engages all students through:

·    the use of learning technologies relevant to the students and

·    the provision of pedagogical practices that focus on high levels of intellectual quality for all students.

At Lindfield East Public School students are clear that their learning matters to themselves, the teachers and the community. Parents as partners in their children’s learning make the achievement of these aims possible.
