Lynford is fortunate to have dedicated and enthusiastic staff members that have the interests of every individual at heart. Aware of current trends in education, sensitive to individual learning needs and styles, and committed to developing the whole child, our staff actively encourage the boys and girls to learn and grow towards their potential in a non-threatening and supportive environment. Our classrooms are very well equipped with various teaching aids and resources and all of our classrooms have internet access, computers and projectors. Our classes are also limited to a maximum of twenty-four learners, which ensures that the children receive adequate individual attention from their teacher.  Our media facility, which includes an IT centre and a library, is used by the children on a daily basis. Each child in the class is able to work at their own computer terminal, learning valuable skills from our IT specialist. Our library is also very well stocked and reading remains a real focus point in our school. 

Through our academic programme we aim to achieve the following:

A Healthy Work Ethic

We encourage our children to be responsible and accountable for their actions, while developing a healthy work ethic.

Small Classes

Contribute to Society

Our aim is to produce positive, confident individuals who are comfortable with their abilities and therefore able to contribute meaningfully to society.

Skills for Life

Our curriculum is skills based and dynamic - constantly changing and being refined to ensure that we provide appropriate skills that can be applied throughout life.

Excursions

Outings and excursions form an integral part of our curriculum. Classes, from Grade RR to Grade 7, enjoy a wide variety of outdoor experiences throughout the year.

Enviro Challenge

Each child in the school completes an Enviro Challenge during the course of the year. These activities are age appropriate and are aimed at developing a love for and appreciate of our environment.

Confidence, Courage & Integrity

Lynford boys and girls will be able to face the future with confidence, courage and integrity.
