At LRCS, we work productively and collaboratively to create engaging learning environments for all students.
Our Classroom Learning spaces are productively designed and set up to ensure students are able to engage meaningfully with their learning.
We know that students learn differently and that learning environment matter when it comes to comfort and focus.
Most general learning spaces feature dedicated 'desk learning' areas as well as break-out spaces for group work and less structured learning.
This means students are able to learn as they learn best - whether at a desk or sitting on the floor - which in turn greatly improves learning outcomes.
Our functioning Ag farm means students can learn about farm safety, raise chickens from hatching through to sale, run their own agriculture enterprise, participate in wool handling and shearing practicals, train cattle, conduct soil/crop investigations, plant an orchard and erect and maintain fencing.
Our fully equipped Art Studio gives students the chance to experiment with various mediums, techniques, and processes including: clay, digital art, photography, drawing/ illustration (graphite, charcoal and ink), digital editing,painting (acrylic, watercolors and oil),and printmaking (lino printmaking, screen printing and etching).
