About the School
Lawnton State School was established in 1967 and proudly services the community of Lawnton and nearby suburbs in the Moreton Bay Region. We are an inclusive school catering for children across the Preparatory to Year 6 grades of schooling.
At Lawnton, we work in partnership with parents, the students and our school to ensure a safe, caring, orderly, disciplined and productive learning environment where all students can achieve their full potential. Central to the daily life of our school are our values of Learning, Safety and Respect promoted by our school mascot LASAR the Lion. It is through living these values to the best of our ability that we all contribute to making our school the wonderful place it is for all.
