The LPS has adapted a "Paideia" philosophy and modified it to suit our Australian context. "Paideia" is a Greek word that 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 how 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 the same opportunities and experiences. However, this does not mean that every child will go through the program at the same time or the same pace. The Paideia Method outlines three streams of teaching and learning by which its objectives can be best met. They are Didactic instruction, Coaching, Socratic questioning. Didactic instruction is the “chalk and talks” method of teaching and learning, where the teacher has a body of knowledge to convey and the students learn by listening. This form of instruction certainly has its place, although at The Launceston Preparatory School it will not always be to a class as a whole but also smaller groups. In Australia today, researchers estimate that an average of approximately 70% of the time at school is spent on this model, under the Paideia philosophy, however, this proportion is drastically reduced to around 20% of schooling time. This is an aspect of Paideia strongly supported by the school. Consistent with the Paideia method, we spend most of our time in Coaching, believing that children learn best by “doing”. This mode allows teaching to be most constructive and learning to be most lasting because children are practicing the skills they need under the eye of a coach, who will refine, support, and re-teach each student as necessary. About 70% of our time is spent in this column of teaching and learning, which allows us most effectively focus on individual needs. It is the third strand of the Paideia method the Socratic questioning that most clearly distinguishes it from others. Socrates used to teach the young men of Greece by “drawing out of them what they already knew” rather than by telling them things. So too do we encourage children to consider issues and develop values by exposing them to ideas and drawing from them their own opinions through carefully constructed questioning. A Socratic strand runs through all our teaching, but the Socratic Seminar with the teacher facilitating the thought-provoking question has the greatest capacity to transform the nature of the students because A bond of mutual respect is created between all Each student must learn to think critically, understand ideas, solve problems, make decisions, resolve conflicts and apply their knowledge to the situation. Thus articulation, listening, and critical thinking skills are improved. View full school

Sic itur ad Astra which comes from Virgil’s “Aeneid” Book IX, 641. The full quote is “made nova virtute, puer! (blessing on your new bravery, boy!) sic itur ad Astra” (this is the way to the stars). The youthful God Apollo is addressing young Iulus (the son of Aeneas), who has just shot his bow for the first time in battle and been blessed by Jupiter with a victory. He means to instruct him that this is the way to further success and his destiny. From this, we take Be of Courage. Our students dare to try, speak out, help others, discover, and learn from the past. They develop a good work ethic and values through a broad range of learning experiences that prepare them for a happy and successful life. We inspire students to learn how to learn, to choose innovation, and to flourish in a future where their skills and abilities can be truly harnessed by the world. For this is the way to the stars. The quartered shield depicts an open book representing learning, the Burning Bush symbolizing the Reformed Church faith, a claymore signifying the College's Scottish heritage, and the Southern Cross for Australia. The coronet at the top is the symbol of the British Commonwealth. At the base of the shield is the Motto and at the top of the crest is the mythical Pegasus, taken from the Clan Morrison representing the founders of the school. The College is a special place and has played a role in the development of thousands of students and their families since 1861. We aim to inspire students to learn how to learn, flourish, be innovative, and aspire to futures that harness their many skills and abilities. But it is not just the students who are learning, staff and parents seek challenges and development here at the College. Our students learn to be respectful and courageous, as they develop their academic, emotional, physical, social and spiritual potential and prepare to be positive contributors to society through a broad range of learning experiences. The Reggio Emilia approach to education in the Junior School is a thread in our Vision for Learning for all students from Early Learning to Year 12. Consequently, a truly liberal education that values experiences across Performing and Creative Arts, Science, Humanities, learning outdoors, sports, and a wide range of co-curricular activities is a feature of College. We believe passionately in coeducation. The world is actively inclusive and diverse, just like College. Ours is a place where children thrive - girls and boys together in learning, living, growing, working collaboratively, exchanging ideas, and learning from each other to develop a greater understanding of self and others. Through this, our students have a strong sense of belonging. The College is associated with the Uniting Church. We seek to prepare young men and women to be leaders in their communities, who can connect the Christian faith, their spirituality, and their planned contribution to our world. While we are a Christian school, we value freedom and choice by respecting the rights of all people to live by other faith traditions. We engage in conversations as we learn together to accept the individual beliefs of others which shape their convictions and commitments. View full school
