Building Program

The college has selected BHA to complete the Master Plan for the Building Futures Program. The time line for the completion of this plan is very short, however, after a long interview process with three architectural companies, we are confident that BHA will deliver an exceptional design. The Hugh McRae Hall will also be undergoing an upgrade and tenders for this project have been advertised. We expect that these improvements will be completed early next year with little or no disruption to the school programs. 

Lion’s Club Youth of the Year Award

Congratulations to Jacinta Brorsen for advancing to state level in the Lion’s Club Youth of the Year Award. She competed against 88 other contenders in the Dandenong District level and was the successful applicant after completing a written application, an interview and delivering two speeches, one impromptu and one prepared. This is a terrific accomplishment and on behalf of the Lyndale community, I would like to wish her the best of luck in the next round.

Lyndale Secondary College has been very fortunate to have had such exemplary Year12 students this year and it was a delight to acknowledge their achievements during the night. I would like to thank the school captains and senior school coordinators for organising this highly successful evening.

On Monday December 7, we will be holding our Parent Information Evening for Year 6 parents. During this evening, parents will be given information about the expectations on the first day of term 1, 2010, homework requirements, use of diary, discipline, uniform and general transition details. They will also be given the opportunity to purchase the school uniform, the Endeavour Hills bus ticket and pay for their child’s Essential Resource Materials and Services Levies. On Tuesday December 8 the Year 6 students will be attending the college as part of the state wide Orientation Day program. During the day, the students will meet their Integrated Studies teacher, participate in some introductory classes and collect information about next year, including: the Middle School Curriculum Booklet (years 7-9) and the Year 7 Information Booklet.  Thank you to the staff, in particular, Mrs. Sue Petousis for organising and contributing to the Orientation/Transition program.
