Learning is a life-long undertaking which allows children and adults to make positive contributions to society. As an inclusive learning community, Lawnton State School offers an educational program founded on the belief that all children have the ability to learn. Our learning community engages all stakeholders working together in the best interest of each student. High expectations, complemented by a deep knowledge of each student, inform teachers' capacity to meet personalised learning needs for all of our children. We provide differentiated learning opportunities and experiences catering for the diverse range of learners within our school community.
As an inclusive school we:
- Support all students to engage with and contribute to our school's cultures, curriculum and communities
- Recognise the diversity of individuals and groups in our school and community as a strength and context for learning
- Maximise educational and social outcomes of all students through identification and reduction of barriers to learning, especially for those who experience disadvantage, are at risk and/or vulnerable to marginalisation
- Promote development of an inclusive curriculum to respond to the needs of all students
- Aim to equip all students to understand and value equity and diversity so they have knowledge and skills for positive participation in a just, equitable and democratic global society.
- Embed Indigenous Perspectives in our unit design.
- Provide opportunities of enrichment through a range of learning areas. Such as Arts Excellence, Sporting opportunities, Solid Pathways, STEM.
