OUR SCHOOL

Lyndale Secondary College was established over 40 years ago to serve the North Dandenong area and is well developed in terms of its educational, sporting and cultural resources. Lyndale is highly regarded within its local community. Eight hectares of grounds contain extensive outdoor activity areas and all necessary specialist and general classroom accommodation.

The college exists for our students. With their wholehearted cooperation and participation, they will fully benefit from and enjoy their time at Lyndale Secondary College.

This is an exciting time at Lyndale Secondary College as we are nearing the completion of a building program. Our engaging 21st century spaces connect and support our students to improve learning outcomes. We have completed building our Performing Arts centre, STEM, Library and Administration building. We are currently completing our Arts and Materials Technology building and Senior School building.

HEADSTART

Here at Lyndale Secondary College, we place an emphasis on delivering programs that foster independence, cooperative learning and creative thinking. Headstart at Lyndale Secondary College is an intensive academic program that aims to support school students’ transition from one academic year to the next.

This program provides educational advantage by strengthening academic skills to move forward through the commencement of next year’s coursework in the last three weeks of the school year. Headstart benefits Senior School students as they will be better prepared for the rigours of VCE requirements, which will enable them to undertake senior studies with confidence and success.

SELECT ENTRY ACCELERATED LEARNING PROGRAM

Lyndale Secondary College is one of a small number of Department of Education schools in the state which is accredited to provide Select Entry programs for talented and gifted students and is a member of “The Academy of Accredited SEAL schools (TAASS)”. The Select Accelerated Learning Program initiative is part of the Lyndale Secondary College differentiated education priority which caters for all students. The acceleration process is designed to cater for the needs of the highly academically talented student.

The Accelerated Learning Program aims to provide students with the opportunity to develop investigative, problem solving, analytical and critical thinking skills which will challenge and engage students in a very active style of learning.

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PROGRAM

The students at Lyndale Secondary College are strongly encouraged to participate in the Instrumental Music Program and commence the study of an instrument.

Students are encouraged to attend the band and ensemble rehearsals which take place either at lunchtime or after College once a week, as we believe that playing together is an integral part of their musical formation, as well as developing listening and social skills.
