We’re thrilled to be featured on the Teach podcast! 🎙️ A great opportunity to share our journey, insights, and the heart behind our work with young people in the Hills. Tune in to hear how community-led approaches are making a real impact.

This afternoon was pretty special for our school. Caroline and Sokhan were invited into the Department to talk about the Resilient Lenswood project. It was wonderful to share the amazing work we do at our school and as a community! The podcast will come out with the Department’s ‘Teach’ podcast. Thank you Caroline for being brave and sharing the journey so far.

Gardening for Low flammability and Biodiversity

Are you a keen gardener or interested in creating a garden that not only supports biodiversity but helps with your bushfire plan?

Then this FREE mini workshop is for you!

Open to all ages, our amazingly talented parent Kate Harvey will be running a workshop for adults and children. Utilising Kate’s landscape design knowledge, she will share some insights into creating a garden that not only attracts native wildlife but helps in
the event of a bushfire.

Chris Grant, an elected member of the Adelaide Hills Council, will join Kate in the discussion and help to answer all your questions. So come along and get your questions answered as well as design that space you’ve always dreamt of!

Open to all community members, we hope to see you here this Thursday in the Library at 3:15pm!

So proud of what we've achieved together—becoming a finalist in the 2025 Public Education Awards for Community Impact is a testament to the amazing Lenswood Primary School community behind Resilient Lenswood 💛

We are thrilled to announce that Lenswood Primary School has been selected as a finalist in the 2025 Public Education Awards for Community Impact for our Resilient Lenswood Project.

The Resilient Lenswood Project, supported by a Parents in Education Grant, empowers the community to face natural disasters with preparedness and confidence. Students co-designed curriculum projects with families and experts, embedding Disaster Resilience Education and cultural knowledge.

Student leaders known as ‘Resilient Rangers’ earned Children’s University accreditation while parents built a weather station and led fundraising. Partnerships with CFS, Red Cross, Bureau of Meteorology and First Nations leaders strengthened community safety and inclusivity. The project has become a model for resilience education across South Australia.

We invite you to learn more about our Resilient Lenswood Project, which has been recognised by the Department for Education.
