Lilydale West Primary School

Lilydale West Primary School is situated in the outer-eastern suburb of Lilydale. The school has approximately 390 students in 18 classes. Specialist teaching areas are Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Physical Education, Sport and Indonesian. Lilydale West continues to promote environmentally sustainable and healthy lifestyle practices. We endeavor to provide the best facilities possible. Our school has recently been painted and up-dated and locally-raised funds are being used to provide a wide range of ICT equipment for learning and teaching and to further develop our already expansive play spaces. Our school’s philosophy is based on the belief that children learn and grow in self-confidence and esteem as a result of positive attention to their individual learning needs. Lilydale West Primary School consistently works to develop the best possible environment in which children, parents and teachers can work together in a learning partnership. Our school values underpin our teaching and learning programs and are evident in classrooms, playground and in our school community. The school is committed to the development of strong Professional Learning Teams and the building of teacher capacity within a supportive environment. Our teachers are dedicated and caring and have a focus on continuous improvement to benefit each child’s learning. Our students are supported and encouraged to develop to their fullest potential with a strong focus on differentiation and provision for individual differences. A continuing, strong focus has been on the development of students’ numeracy and literacy skills with increased opportunities for parents to participate in student learning experiences in a range of ways to enhance opportunities for all.
