Lucknow Primary School is located in the Eastwood estate of Bairnsdale, East Gippsland Victoria.

Bairnsdale is the gateway to the natural beauties of East Gippsland and is set on the banks of the Mitchell River, 285 kilometers east of Melbourne.

Lucknow Primary School was established in 1873 and moved from Great Alpine Rd Lucknow to its current site at Balmoral Crescent Eastwood, in 2003.

The move to the new site north of The Great Alpine Rd was in response to the growing development of Eastwood and the need for expanded school grounds and facilities.

The building of the new school coincided with significant growth in student numbers.

The current school enrolment is 542.

The school¿s motto ¿Proud Past - Exciting Future¿ encapsulates how the school community welcomes and embraces future challenges in the context of its rich traditions.

Our school vision is to provide a ¿welcoming community which values learning through shared responsibility¿ and to ¿develop a caring environment in which we nurture confident, creative and resilient individuals who aspire to be the best they can¿.

At Lucknow PS we use a School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) approach to teach and emphasis our school values of Respect, Inclusiveness and Resilience.

SWPBS focuses on teaching and reinforcing positive behaviours to build a safe, supportive and positive learning environment.

Our purpose is to inspire children to achieve their full potential by developing:

- A culture of learning based on positive relationships between students, staff, parents and the wider community.
- A core knowledge of academic and social competencies based on our key values of Respect, Inclusiveness & Resilience.
- Responsibility for being self-motivated lifelong learners.
- A challenging curriculum appropriate to the needs of all students.
- A caring, stimulating and happy learning environment, which fosters high standards of achievement and behaviour.
- High expectations for all students to achieve their personal best socially, academically, physically and emotionally.

We currently have 24 classrooms and specialist classes in Physical Education, Visual Arts, Music & Culture, Library and Outdoor Education.

Student learning is based on four critical questions:

- What do we want students to learn?
- How do we know if they have learnt it?
- What do we do if they don¿t learn?
- What do we do if they have already know it?

Teachers are accountable for students¿ learning and achievement.

Learning is developmental and sequential.

Learning is teacher directed.

Teaching is explicit.

Students are increasingly responsible for the application of their learning

Students are assisted to regularly reflect on their own learning.

Parents¿ Club and School Council represent the school families and are highly active in raising funds for our students and providing community based decision making processes.

- We have a whole school approach to student welfare and engagement.

Every week ¿Special Friend¿ volunteers come into the school to work with individual children in areas of agreed interest, whether it is social, recreational or academic.

The welfare of students, staff and parents is an underlying consideration in everything that is done.



Our school believes that people are the most important resource and that all have something to offer.

- The school is committed to effective communication, taking a pro-active role ensuring people have their say. Consultative processes have been adopted which enable all concerned to be involved.

There is a strong emphasis on professional development and coaching is an integral part of professional practice.

The future curriculum directions of our school will be consistent with our priorities with an emphasis on building professional capacity through ongoing reflection of practice informed by student learning outcomes and a sound knowledge and understanding of learning theory. The consolidation and future planned development of the site and facilities will continue to be a priority.
