Department of Education - Victoria

Lyndhurst Primary School (LPS) is located in the outer-south eastern suburb of Lyndhurst in the City of Casey. LPS is a Public/Private Partnership (PPP) School where the private sector will maintain the school over a 25-year period and the State will retain school ownership and responsibility for delivering educational services.

At LPS, we foster a vibrant, inclusive learning community where wellbeing, engagement, and achievement go hand in hand. With a strong foundation in our core values - Optimism, Respect, Empathy, Responsibility, and Integrity - we empower students and staff to thrive. 

Our rich cultural diversity, with over 50 language groups represented, nurtures global understanding and a deep sense of belonging.   This diverse mix enhances the learning environment, fostering cultural understanding, global perspectives, and an inclusive mindset.

Student enrolment is approximately 900 students with a school structure of single line classes, with 5 or 6 classes at each year level; equating to 37 to 38 classes.  LPS distributive leadership structure includes 1 Principal, 3 Assistant Principals, 3 Learning Specialists and 8 PLT leaders.  The specialist subjects offered at LPS include Arts, Digital Technologies, Music, Spanish, Physical Education and Science.  

LPS is more than a school, location, buildings and resources.  It is a dynamic space that supports collaboration, curiosity, and excellence.  LPS is more than just a place of learning - it is a community where students feel safe, inspired, and supported to reach their potential. 

We recognise the vital role that families, support services and the wider community play in education and encourage participation in school life. Our facilities are available for service and community use, reinforcing our commitment to shared learning, wellbeing and development. 

Together, we foster a culture of high expectations, respect, and lifelong learning, ensuring that LPS continues to grow as a school that our students, staff, and families are proud of.
