| Lathlain Primary School is a Level 5 school situated in the Canning District servicing the needs of students in the Victoria Park Town suburb of Lathlain. The school is located on the corner of Howick St and Keyes St with an additional entrance from Waller St. It is walking distance to the parklands of the Swan River and Burswood Park. Lathlain Kindergarten is situated off site half a kilometre from the school on the corner of Planet St and Roberts Rd. The school serves a catchment area, which houses mainly professional and business families. Lathlain Primary opened in 1956 and has varied in size, most recently with an increase in students due to the considerable interest in local real estate and proximity to the city. A new library and administration, built in keeping with the original design, has been added to the school recently due to the increasing enrolment. The school caters for 340 kindergarten to year 7 students. The majority of the students reside in the area. Staffing for the school is met by eighteen teaching staff including Principal, two Deputies, an Art Specialist and library teacher. There is further teacher support given to Music, Technology and managing Students at Educational Risk. Additionally there is a School Registrar, School Officer, Library Assistant, ten Teacher Aides (supporting students with special needs), an Aboriginal and Islander Educational Officer and a School Gardener/Handy person. Japanese language instruction to all year 3 - 7 students and a strong Art and Language programme are features that compliment the diligence of the teachers in the delivery of the curriculum. Selected students are given the opportunity, via the Department of Education and Training's provision of instrumental teachers, to learn a musical instrument - clarinet or a brass instrument. Intra and Interschool Chess is keenly played throughout the year with the local chess club meeting at school on Wednesday evenings. The school has a Local Area Network linking all classrooms and the Library, which provides both Intranet and Internet access. The Local Area Network allows students access to the automated library throughout the school. A computer lab supports the integration of computers into the curriculum. Parents, through a vibrant P&C and hard working School Council are integral to the overall success of our school. In keeping with the school motto 'Seek Strive Learn' there is an emphasis at Lathlain Primary School on life long learning and learning how to learn. | ||||
