Community

The Lindisfarne Parents and Friends Association (P&F) actively supports the School and offers a wonderful opportunity to meet new parents and assist with what is happening at Lindisfarne.

The objectives of the P&F are consistent with the School’s vision and values. All parents and guardians of students enrolled at the School are members of the P&F. Anyone is welcome to attend general meetings which take place six times per year.

The P&F organises numerous social events, family days and fundraisers in support of the School. Any help is always greatly appreciated and you will be welcomed into a dynamic group of enthusiastic parents and friends.

Please come to our meetings if you are interested in contributing to making a difference for our students.

Our aim is for Lindisfarne graduates to be equipped, enabled and empowered academically and emotionally to assume responsibility for making a positive contribution to the world.

We help our students paint the picture of their future selves, one where their skills and dispositions are centred around being compassionate, ethical, globally responsible, engaged, inclusive, respectful and just — for “at the heart of education is education of the heart.”

While the role of traditional classroom learning in developing these attributes is not to be dismissed, experiential, other-person-centred learning experiences is key in shifting our students’ thinking from “what have I got to get?” to “what have I got to give?”

Altruism, in all forms, has the potential to reward those who give as much or more than the beneficiary. When our students are giving, their view of the world around them broadens, their capacity for social and emotional growth is stretched, and they become greater assets to our communities.
