ES 1-2 Ongoing - Marketing, Communication & Reception

The Lyndhurst Secondary College community is committed to providing a safe, challenging and stimulating learning environment which champions individual differences, excellence, and integrity to develop open-minded citizens capable of contributing confidently and responsibly to an ever-changing world. We aim to be a progressive learning community whereby we are, `Empowering students for learning and life¿. Our core values are excellence, commitment, integrity, and respect, with an overarching belief in high expectations for all.

To meet the individual needs of our students, staff work together to collaboratively design learning.  We also offer a range of flexible learning options and support programs. We also have a wide range of co-curricular programs. We believe in getting to know our students well and we use a variety of pathways and support options as just one of the ways to engage and learn more about the young people with whom we work. We understand the importance of student voice and agency in relation to school connectedness. As result, there are extensive leadership opportunities available to students across a range of areas within the College community.  We also support our young people with an extensive and highly skilled Wellbeing Team, as well as connecting with a variety of community-based groups.

Presently the major focus for staff is to develop classroom pedagogy through a range of evidence-based teaching and learning strategies, to further improve outcomes for students.  The objective is to teach each student¿s point of need, regardless of where they on the learning continuum.
