Lal Lal is 25km south-east of Ballarat amongst scattered small acreages. Most children are driven to school from the surrounding district, although a bus brings children from the Elaine area. The nearest centres for kindergarten and after school activities are Buninyong and Mt Clear. Enrolments are gradually rising now from 15 in early 2009 to an expected enrolment of 31 in 2014 and continued large enrolments in the next few years.

Our major focus is developing the students’ Literacy and Numeracy levels, as well as ensuring wellbeing and morale is high, through engaging programs for developing 'the whole child'. Also vital is reinforcing a positive supportive school culture through focussing on our school values of Effort, Excellence, Teamwork and Support as well as through our 'You Can Do It!' and other Values programs. We incorporate online learning as well as a concrete hands-on approach and of course most of our work is in small groups. In the morning we run 3 classrooms and in the afternoons, 2. A specialist provides a second language (Chinese). In 2013 we teach the required aspects of the new National Curriculum (AUSVELS): English, Mathematics, Science and Literacy. Camps are held every second year, with swimming, athletics sports, cross country, school days at Sovereign Hill (yr 2s and 5s) and other excursions held annually.
Our School Community
Once a week a registered playgroup operates out of our multipurpose facility for 2 hours- currently it's Thursday mornings from 9-11 am. Lal Lal Primary School is committed to building positive relationships with people in the local area, from Meredith to Yendon and welcome the community into the school any time throughout the year. Parents support the educational programs and various community events, as well as raising the profile of Lal Lal Primary School in the community. A Parents’ Club operates to assist with all school activities as well as fundraising.
