Principal's Welcome

On behalf of our entire school community, welcome to Lara Lake Primary School.

My name is Steve Durkin and I am the Principal. Our school is an exciting place to teach and learn. The students are keen to expand their knowledge, skills and understanding across a broad curriculum and the professionalism of our staff is high.

Schools are all about people. The relationships between the people are extremely important. It's how we share success and deliver better outcomes for our students. We are always seeking improvement. The school reviews its processes, policies and goals at regular intervals. This reflects the view that we are all life-long learners.

Below are our school motto, purpose, vision and mission. These guidelines provide our staff and community with a consistent approach and direction.
