Abstract

As a parent involved at Lucindale Area School, and on behalf of Lucindale Area School and the community, I gladly accept this award and thank SPERA for choosing our school to be the winner of this award. What has happened at Lucindale Area School definitely enhances education and does demonstrate a commitment towards advancing the positive aspects of rural education. This award acknowledges the success we have achieved in solving our initial problems, it also acknowledges the very hard work carried out by our Principal, staff, parents, students and community members. Lucindale is as the name implies, a school comprising of students from reception through to year 12. Our current enrolments are around 270. There are just over 70 secondary students. It is situated in the small rural township of Lucindale, a population of about 490 people. The nearest town is Naracoorte with a population of 5,000 - 42 kilometres away). Our largest closest regional town is Mt. Gambier, 120 kilometres away with a population of 23000. So we are very small and very rural.
