It is my privilege to welcome you to Landsdale Primary School, where academic excellence, personal growth, leadership, and community spirit come together to create a thriving learning environment. Our commitment to student success is not only focused on academic achievement and progress, but also in fostering social and emotional development and physical development.

At Landsdale Primary School, we understand that learning goes beyond the classroom and endeavour to link student interest and curiosity to foster engagement. We are dedicated to supporting the whole child, ensuring that every student has the tools to develop emotional intelligence, resilience, and leadership skills. Our approach to social and emotional learning focuses on helping students manage emotions, build positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. These attributes and skills are just as critical as academic achievement in preparing for life in secondary school and beyond.

We also emphasise the development of leadership qualities in every student. Through various programs, peer mentorship, and opportunities to take on responsibilities in the classroom and across the school, we help students discover their unique potential as leaders. We encourage students to show initiative, solve problems, and contribute to our school and community in meaningful ways throughout their learning journey in primary school.

Through explicit teaching, inquiry learning, peer interaction, and a variety of whole school evidenced-based programs, we actively teach and reinforce both social and emotional, and academic skills to create a positive and supportive school culture. We believe that when students feel safe, valued, and emotionally secure, they are better equipped to engage in learning, overcome challenges, and grow into compassionate, responsible citizens. Together, we strive to cultivate confident, well-rounded learners who are prepared for the future.

I encourage you to explore our website to learn more about our programs, activities, community and initiatives. Thank you for being an essential part of our school community.

Kind regards,

Kerryn Woodhouse
