Who We Are

Our Purpose

Our purpose is to help each other better understand the world we live in, to be good citizens and lifelong learners.

Our Vision

Our community chooses Lalor Primary School because it is a great place to learn – learning is of high quality, it is engaging and fun. We are happy, safe and supportive, and everyone is included and involved as we work and learn together.

Our Priorities

  1. All students engage in high quality learning and demonstrate continual improvement.
  2. Students feel safe and supported in an environment that builds capacity for resilience and socialisation.
  3. The school’s stakeholders feel included and involved. There is open and effective communication.

• independent, persistent, resilient and respectful learners
• confident, curious, creative critical thinkers and problem solvers, who are inclusive, reflective and driven, yet open minded
• literate, numerate and active, happy people who socialise and communicate well.
