Welcome from our principal
“Welcome to Lawrence Hargrave School.
As Rel. Principal, it is a privilege to lead a school that is built on relationships, high expectations, and a shared belief that every student can succeed. Our students are at the centre of everything we do. Each young person has a personalised learning plan that reflects their strengths, interests, and goals. We celebrate progress at every stage and ensure that every success, big or small, is recognised. Our school community is inclusive and diverse. We value respect, ambition, integrity, safety and engagement. Families and carers are important partners in this journey. At Lawrence Hargrave, we are committed to equity and excellence. Together with our staff, families, and community partners, we work to make school a place where every child feels safe, supported, and ready for their next step in life.
I warmly invite you to connect with us and discover what our school can offer your child.”
