LNPS Learner Agency
At Lockleys North Primary school we believe that all learners can and will be successful. Our vision is to develop a community of empowered learners who strive for success. Our values shape our vision, beliefs and way of being. Respect, Care and Concern, Honesty and Pursuit of Excellence guide every part of our culture, relationships, and teaching and learning.
Culture of Excellence
At Lockleys North Primary School, we cultivate authentic learner agency through a deliberately scaffolded leadership pathway that empowers every student to lead, influence and contribute.
From Reception to Year 3, students engage as Student Leaders in Rising Voices, articulating ideas, gathering peer feedback and developing confident student voice.
In Years 4-6, our Student Ambassador program expands this foundation, enabling students to represent the school and lead strategic initiatives while distributing leadership across cohorts; ambassadors play an active and visible role by hosting LNPS TV and news, facilitating Rising Voices meetings, supporting library and lunchtime programs, and coordinating community events such as fundraising stalls and special days.
By Year 6, students demonstrate exemplary leadership through senior leadership responsibilities that shape community culture and operations. These include, hosting whole-school assemblies, leading technical and stage teams, supporting major events such as Book Week, and driving sustainability initiatives like recycling and waste management. They further contribute through community roles across the school, house captains, wellbeing programs, and culminating experiences such as graduate speeches, demonstrating maturity, accountability and strong student agency.

Digital Learning
Digital LearningDigital learning at LNPS encompasses the knowledge and skills students need to create, manage, communicate and investigate data, information and ideas, and solve problems. It assists students to work collaboratively at school and in their lives beyond school.
Digital learning involves students critically identifying and appropriately selecting and using digital devices or systems, and learning to make the most of the technologies available to them. Students adapt to new ways of doing things as technologies evolve, and protect the safety of themselves and others in digital environments.
Specialist Lessons
Specialist LessonsStudents at Lockleys North Primary School participate in a range of specialist programs including Science, Physical Education, Arts and German.
Ours Arts program offers students the opportunity to study all five subjects (Music, Visual Arts, Drama, Dance and Media Arts).
Our Health and Physical Education program promotes physical activity, health and wellbeing. Students learn through movement and engage in activities which promote a safe and healthy lifestyle.
Our Science program allows students to explore change in the world around them, including changes that impact on them. Our Science program allows students to explore change in the world around them, including changes that impact on them. Students use their senses to gather different types of information. They learn that seeking answers to questions they pose and making observations is what Science is all about.
Our German languages program recognises that students bring their own linguistic and cultural background to their learning. When learning German, students engage with the sounds, patterns and structure of the German language through interactive learning experiences using language in context. Oral language often takes the form of rhyme, songs and role play.
Literacy
LiteracyLiteracy is fundamental to a student’s ability to learn at school and to engage productively in society.
In the Australian Curriculum, students become literate as they develop the knowledge, skills and dispositions to interpret and use language confidently for learning and communicating in and out of school and for participating effectively in society. Literacy involves students listening to, reading, viewing, speaking, writing and creating oral, print, visual and digital texts, and using and modifying language for different purposes in a range of contexts.

Numeracy
NumeracyNumeracy is fundamental to a student’s ability to learn at school and to engage productively in society.
In the Australian Curriculum, students become numerate as they develop the knowledge and skills to use mathematics confidently across learning areas at school and in their lives more broadly. It involves students recognising and understanding the role of mathematics in the world and having the dispositions and capacities to use mathematical knowledge and skills purposefully.
At LNPS student are provided with opportunities to apply mathematical knowledge and skills within other learning areas.
This supports students to gain a broader and deeper understanding of numeracy, and to recognise that mathematics is constantly used outside the classroom.

Inquiry
InquiryAt LNPS the physical environments in which the students learn are flexible to foster collaboration, and co-designed to nurture curiosity and wonder. Students have opportunities to engage in authentic learning, such as projects, that require them to use subject knowledge and learner qualities to solve real-world problems. They work with open-ended questions, issues or problems, and demonstrate deep understanding of their learning through explanation and justification across all areas of the curriculum. Students follow the inquiry cycle of: tuning in, finding out, sorting out, going further, making conclusions and taking action.
In order to provide rich opportunities for our students to apply their learning in meaningful ways, they are involved in many projects which will see multiple subjects combined during such inquiries. This enables students to make links between their learning experiences and ensure their efforts have an impactful purpose.
All of our multidisciplinary inquiries will see students applying many literacy and numeracy skills and understandings in practical ways and will be designed to ensure all essential aspects of the curriculum are addressed. Many concepts will recur over the course of the year to ensure students have multiple exposures in order to embed new learning and apply it in new contexts.
We foster curiosity and inquiry by ensuring that:
- Learning spaces are flexible to foster collaboration
- Students are working with open-ended questions, issues or problems and participating in the learning design for inquiry
- Students are demonstrating deep understanding of their learning through explanation and justification across all areas of the curriculum
- Students are engaged in problematised situations connected to community – school, local and global links enabling different possibilities, strategies, solutions and actions
