At Mawson Lakes School, our vision of “Lifelong learners who positively influence our community in a global context” is underpinned by our mission of ‘developing flexible, high quality programs to maximise our students’ learning potential. Our current priority is Visible Learning and Assessment for Learning, through the establishment of Teacher Learning Communities (TLC’s). A unique feature of our school is creek which runs between the two sites, site East and site West. We have a Defence Schools Transition Aide who supports our growing numbers of Defence Force families. The school’s enrollments have shown considerable growth since its opening in 2000 with 53 students. The school is approaching its maximum enrollment numbers predicted when the school first opened. In 2015 there are 772 enrollments with the school under considerable enrollment pressure. The school continues to exercise a zone of guaranteed enrollment due to the excessive demand for enrollment places in the school.
