Education WAÂ introduces Lakemba Public School in Lakemba, for all your education and learning needs.
Lakemba Public School is situated in South Western Sydney and our 460 plus students are supported by National Partnership funding (2011-2014). The school serves an area of rich cultural diversity with around ninety-eight percent of the students coming from language backgrounds other than English. A total of 44 languages are spoken at the school. The predominant cultural groups are from Arabic, Pakistani, Bengali, Indonesian and Vietnamese countries. The school has 19 classes and a number of Specialist teachers who provide quality programs in English as an Additional Language or Dialect, Music, Library and Arabic Community Language throughout the school. A culture of continual learning and growth supports an integrated curriculum that is based firmly in Literacy and numeracy. The team of dedicated staff work collaboratively towards a shared vision of providing quality teaching and learning programs to improve learning outcomes for all students. Assessment for learning strategies and the provision of varied, creative and comprehensive programs aim to engage and develop the whole student. The values of respect, cooperation and responsibility are central to our safe and supportive learning environment. A School as Community Centre (SaCC) was established 10 years ago to support the families with children from nought to eight years of age make a successful transition to school. Our parents and staff have high expectations for our students. The school has a strong focus on explicit and differentiated Literacy and numeracy programs based on the Quality Teaching Framework.
