MOTTO

Our school's motto is `Dream Big, Dare to Fail'

VISION

Laa Yulta Primary School's vision is to educate all students to the highest levels of academic achievement.



Our school aims to empower all students to embrace the challenge in learning, achieve their personal best and build their emotional, social and physical wellbeing.

MISSION

Laa Yulta Primary School's mission is to strive to consciously create an environment of respect and inclusion that fosters a safe learning environment and sense of belonging. This will allow our students to take risks in their learning and thus lead to higher academic outcomes.

CURRICULUM AND PEDAGOGY

Our pedagogy is based on the Science of Learning and takes into account research from developmental psychology, educational psychology, cognitive science, and cognitive neuroscience. It is centred on explicit instruction, which is characterised by carefully planned and sequenced lessons; clear and detailed instructions and modelling; and frequent and systematic monitoring of student progress and feedback to students. An example of this pedagogy is using the `SoundsWrite' program to teach reading across our school. Classroom teachers will be supported to build their capacity through PLCs and provided training. Experience in these areas is not necessary ¿ just a willingness to learn. The school has also started with well developed School Wide Positive Behaviour Supports, Curriculum Scopes and Sequences and amazing resources.
