Lane Cove West Public School

Lane Cove West's vision is to provide a positive and inclusive environment in which all students are prepared to be lifelong learners and responsible global citizens. The school continues to grow while maintaining a community feel. An active parent body contributes to a positive school culture and enables the provision of quality resources and technology for the benefit of all students, including play equipment, synthetic oval, covered walkways, interactive whiteboards, air conditioning and sporting equipment. The school provides excellent teaching/learning programs, with an emphasis on literacy and numeracy, resulting in student achievement in NAPLAN well above state averages and in line with neighbouring schools. The school employs specialist staff to provide students with skills in Physical Education, Creative Arts and Mandarin. Effective programs cater for students with additional learning needs and the Positive Behaviour Engaged Learners program supports student wellbeing across the school. The emphasis on performing arts is a strong school tradition with many opportunities for students including dance, music, drama, band, choir, chess, debating and public speaking. Our school bands perform on a regular basis and our school choirs perform each year at the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Town Hall. Our annual school musical is keenly anticipated by all students who take part and is always a highlight of the school year, showcasing the great talent of our students and staff. Lane Cove West Public School supports the local community through involvement in local festivals, environmental awareness projects and public speaking events.
