It is with great pride that I invite you to look through the website of our wonderful school. Lysterfield Primary is a curious and engaging learning community where we strive to exhibit a growth mindset that enables us to be our best.
The world is rapidly evolving, and at Lysterfield Primary School we take seriously our responsibility to ensure every student is equipped with the knowledge, skills and habits of learning they need for future success. We know that strong literacy and numeracy foundations are the greatest predictors of long-term achievement, which is why our teachers deliver high-quality, evidence-based instruction in every classroom, every day.
Our staff are highly dedicated professionals who use explicit teaching, the gradual release model and a carefully sequenced curriculum to ensure all students become capable readers, articulate writers, confident mathematicians and informed citizens with a rich understanding of the world. Our use of school-wide Explicit Instruction, alongside our Literature Units, Knowledge-Rich Units, phonics instruction and consistent assessment practices, ensures clarity, coherence and high expectations across all year levels.
Visitors to our school consistently comment on the calm, orderly and purposeful learning environment. This is created through our behaviour curriculum, The Pegasus Way, which explicitly teaches routines and expectations, based on our school values of Teamwork, Respect, Aspire, Community and Kindness. The Pegasus Way, combined with consistent engagement norms and strong classroom practice, ensures every student can thrive academically and socially.
At Lysterfield, students are truly at the centre of everything we do. We nurture their academic growth as well as their wellbeing, confidence and personal development through our multi-tiered systems of support, evidence-based wellbeing programs, and strong partnerships with families. Our school vision, to be Curious, Confident and Successful, comes to life every day in our classrooms, playgrounds and wider community.
If you would like to learn more about our school, we warmly invite you to contact the office to book a school tour.
I look forward to welcoming you to the Pegasus Family and supporting your child’s journey through primary school.
Warm regards
Adam Wight
