Aiming High at LNPS

“What does it mean to be a successful learner?” 

Our school values of Respect, Honesty, Pursuit of Excellence and Care and Concern underpin all expectations at LNPS. Our aspiration is that all students at LNPS develop learner qualities which enable them to consistently live our values of Respect, Care and Concern, Honesty and Pursuit of Excellence.

Students are encouraged and supported to take charge of their own learning. The Aiming High at LNPS enables our students to demonstrate the learner qualities, which our school community acknowledges as essential skills that all students should have on completion of their time at LNPS.

In supporting students in being successful learners, expectations around LNPS values are reflected upon and unpacked with students. Our students will collate and present evidence of the 6 Learner Qualities and School Values each term.
