How is LTCS different from other schools in Geraldton-Greenough?
Leaning Tree Community School is governed by a School Board, comprised of interested parents, community members and staff. The school has the freedom to make decisions within the parameters of our registration requirements. We are a member of the Association of Independent Schools of Western Australia, which provides the school with support in governance, industrial matters, curricula and other educational issues. LTCS draws upon a range of educational ideologies and strategies including the Steiner philosophy. The development of the whole child through Project Based Learning is paramount. We will remain a school with small class sizes, encouraging a ‘family-like’ community. Links between home and school are strongly valued with high parental involvement characteristic throughout the school. The natural environment is central to our school. Buildings, gardens and the school curriculum will follow principles of environmental sustainability and permaculture.
