We are a co-educational primary and secondary school Foundation-Year 10. We are a small school of approx. Seventy students are located in North Hobart. At Lambert School, we work hard to nurture the skills and attributes that underpin lifelong learning. We aim to provide quality teaching and learning opportunities for all children to become successful learners, confident & creative individuals, and active & informed citizens. Quote: "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire," William Butler Yeats.

He aims of education at Lambert School to develop reflective, creative, and responsible thought and the creation of lifelong learners. It is vital to the School that what is taught and how it is taught should inspire the students to value themselves, recognize, accept and develop their gifts and talents, and 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
• making connections.

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 cultivating 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.

We aim 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.
