We recognise that a diverse and inclusive learning environment contributes to positive outcomes for our student body, our community and our culture. Inclusivity sits at the heart of everything we do and we recognise that all students have the capacity to learn and enrich the human experience. Welcoming and approachable, LCAD embodies a youthful energy and enthusiasm and we choose to see the world through a lens of optimism, vitality and potential.

As a custodian of knowledge and creativity, we value knowledge. Being curious and interested enables us all to contribute and improve the world around us. Knowledge allows LCAD to do what many can’t – speak with authority, confidence and intelligence to our students, supporters and staff.

LCAD values creativity. Creativity allows us to solve problems, generate new ideas and provide the roadmap to make a positive impact on the world around us. Our taste in design, art, fashion and architecture is relevant and contributes to our understanding and perspective of the world. Self confidence, self awareness and knowledge affords our students the ability to connect with the next generation in a considered and creative way.

LCAD celebrates originality and our unique ability to think independently means we are not confined to historical systems or value structures. Through originality and creativity we seek to create extraordinary outcomes for our community that embody a unique and compelling creative authority.

Our commitment to sustainability radiates throughout all aspects of our business. From the procurement of materials to the design and delivery of our courses. We take pride in our social and environmental stewardship.  We aim to reduce our impact on the Earth’s resources while actively seeking to leave a positive and enduring legacy on our community and culture. We are committed to ensuring that future generations will benefit from the decisions, policies and actions we take today. We will motivate sustainable behaviour in ourselves and our community through education, participation and leadership.
