| Philosophy The LPS has adapted a "Paideia" philosophy and modified it to suit our Australian context. "Paideia" is a Greek word which relates to the upbringing of a child and conveys the concept of a child's total education - intellectual, artistic, emotional, physical and social. It is a very democratic approach to teaching and learning that seeks to equip young people with all the social skills and knowledge they need to become caring and active citizens of the world. The Paideia philosophy is founded upon one essential principle - that the same course of basic schooling should be provided to all students. This objective is based on the premise that what is common to all human beings is more fundamental than the ways in which they differ. We share a common humanity, personal dignity, human rights and aspirations. This principle is not in conflict with our school's focus on the individual, but rather is supported by it. In terms of the context of a Paideia program, all students share in the same opportunities and experiences. However, this does not mean that every child will go through the programme at the same time or at the same pace. Click the links below to take you to printable PDF versions.
