Home  >  About The School



St Lawrence Primary School, Derrimut belongs to the parish of St Peter Chanel, Deer Park. Our school caters for the Catholic families in the Brimbank Gardens, St Andrews Field and Central Park estates.

Our school opened in 2010. We have built stage 1 of our master plan. This stage includes the administration building and our first learning centre. We are currently planning for stage 2 of our building program. This will see us add a larger learning centre and landscaping to our central courtyard. Our master plan includes a discovery centre and a multipurpose hall as well as development of playground and passive outdoor areas.

We look forward to the journey of building the community as well as the facilities for the families in Derrimut.


VISION STATEMENT

It is our vision at St Lawrence Primary School that students and staff develop a personal relationship with God while being engaged in a rich learning environment.

In the spirit of St Lawrence, who cared for the poor, we striveTo live justly, to love tenderly, to serve one another and to walk humbly with our God.

We endeavour to promote a learner-centred approach to education which fosters life-long learning and a climate of high expectations for all learners. We believe it is our responsibility to develop a climate which helps all learners achieve their full potential - intellectually, socially, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

We strive to enhance learning through good practice and critical evaluation of contemporary teaching and learning.

We aim to help students develop critical perspectives so that they can operate responsibly, safely and ethically within society.

We believe strong student-teacher relationships enhance teaching and learning and we endeavour to build strong and positive relationships between all members of the school community. We aim to nurture a community which encourages participation, inclusion, a sense of belonging and a desire to learn.
