We are a co-educational primary and secondary school Foundation-Year 10. We are a small school of approx. 60 students located in North Hobart. The fees for the school are $120 per week for 39 weeks per years. At Lambert School we work hard to nurture the skills and attributes that underpin lifelong learning. Our aim is to provide quality teaching and learning opportunities for all children to become successful learners, confident & creative individuals and active & informed citizens.

The aim of education at Lambert School is the development of reflective, creative and responsible thought and the creation of life-long learners It is vital to the School that what is taught, and the ways in which it is taught, should inspire the students to value themselves, to recognize, accept and develop their individual gifts and talents and to encourage others to do the same.

Learning at Lambert School focuses on methods that support student engagement through:

• collaborative teamwork
• communication
• problem-solving
• creating and expression through multiple modes

Lambert Schools teaching and learning philosophy is continually reshaped by current research on effective pedagogy practices in teaching and learning. Staff and students build relationships to promote a learning environment that cultivates confidence, communication and mutual respect. Students are encouraged to develop positive relationships between students, staff, community and the environment. All students are encouraged and supported so they remain motivated, ambitious and achieve to the best of their ability. Teachers engage students to develop a passion for life-long learning through encouraging, challenging with support and guiding them. We strive to prepare students for life’s journey by developing a sense of meaning and purpose, responsible decision making, developing resilience and resourcefulness for adaptability.

Our aim is to provide Quality Teaching and Learning opportunities for all children to become successful learners, confident & creative individuals and active & informed citizens. Lambert School builds a sense of community, identity and belonging that provides a positive, safe environment for quality learning.

At Lambert School we monitor each student’s progress and provide additional learning support if this is required. A support group including the parents, student, principal and learning support teacher is established to discuss the learning of the specific student. From these meetings an Individual Learning Program (ILP) is established and used as the basis for ongoing support. Our students have diverse and differing abilities that impel us as educators to seek the best ways to achieve equity and excellence. Partnerships between parents, students, and teachers are an integral part of the Individual Learning Program. Students who require differentiated education in order to reach their potential are catered for in a variety of ways. This may include adjustments in the curriculum and modifications to instruction.

If you have concerns about your child’s development or progress at school, or if they have special learning needs which have changed, please contact the principal, so we can best cater for your needs. An intensive one-on-one literacy program is provided for low progress readers. It focuses on accuracy in reading and spelling and uses such strategies as word attack skills, reinforced reading and sight words.

At Lambert School students learn French and Chinese. We believe it is important to learn other languages to foster development in communication and learning about other cultures, ultimately promoting cultural understandings.
