Dear Parents/Guardians,

At Lyndale Secondary College we recognise that every student is an individual and ‘treat every child as our own.’  We set high standards, encourage hard work and support our students to achieve their very best.  This is what make us such an engaging learning community.

Lyndale has a proud history of serving the Dandenong and broader community and the Principal team are committed to leading a school community that builds on the strong culture already established.  We aim to see all our students flourish and complete Year 12 with the knowledge, skills and attributes needed to achieve their ambitions in the future.

As a community we are very proud of our students and staff.  Our students are challenged in each and every class to continue their learning journey, by not only learning more information and skills but by applying their knowledge to deepen their understanding.  Our staff are professional, hardworking and understanding.  They know their students as learners and as people.  Our teachers are skilled in developing their lessons to meet the needs of our diverse student population and ensure that student learning growth occurs and be the best learner and person they can be.

Lyndale is a student-centred College environment, and our students are encouraged to take up some of the many opportunities offered to participate in extra-curricular activities. Our College community have high expectations of our students in performance, attendance and behaviour and our excellent results in all these areas are a reflection of our commitment. To ensure that our students reach their full potential we provide extensive student support services that focus on course and careers planning and student welfare support.

Our College has an enrolment of approximately 900 students and our students enjoy the benefits and opportunities that flow from a large size school. The College offers great advantages in the breadth of curriculum offerings. There is provision for specialist learning areas and facilities, extensive staff professional development and a wide range of co-curricula programs which contribute so much to the fullest development of the student’s academic, cultural, artistic, social and sporting achievements, while still maintaining a sense of belonging essential in all great schools. This is an exciting time at Lyndale Secondary College as we are about to complete our building project that has developed new facilities to support our students in their learning.

Whilst the teacher and school play a major role in preparing students for life after College, students and parents also have a major part to play.  If we are to ensure that each child has the opportunity to reach their full potential, parents need to support and reinforce the work of the College.

Our handbook provides you with an overview of the learning program that we offer all students at Lyndale Secondary College.  It also provides you with an understanding of the vision, values and philosophy of our school.

We welcome your interest in our College and I warmly invite you to contact the school on 9795 2366 to book a tour.
