Principal’s Welcome
“... a community thriving through engagement and inclusivity.”
Wominjeka!
Lyndale Greens Primary School’s vision is to be a community thriving through engagement and inclusivity.
Our school is located on Bunurong Country, Dandenong North, in the City of Greater Dandenong - the most culturally diverse community in Victoria. Lyndale Greens Primary School was established in 2010, through the merger of Lyndale Primary School and Greenslopes Primary School.
Our school has over 450 students, 70% of whom speak a language other than English at home, with 40 languages represented.
Our school has a strong focus on the explicit instruction of literacy and numeracy, complemented by a specialist program consisting of Visual Arts, Indonesian/Auslan, Science, Library and Physical Education.
Teaching and learning are supported by interactive displays in each classroom and learning area, 1:1 digital technology in Years 3-6, banks of iPads for junior years, and a TV/podcasting studio.
We are on a Science of Learning journey through rigorous staff professional development and engaging with the following instructional resources:
InitiaLit for Foundation - Year 2 literacy
SpellEx for Year 3 spelling
OCHRE for whole school mathematics
MiniLit and MacqLit for whole school reading intervention
Our 2024 NAPLAN results (Strong and Exceeding) have our school performing well above ‘Similar’ and ‘Network’ schools in nearly all domains.
Our students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of extracurricular activities including State School Spectacular, Wakakirri, Girl Guides, swimming, camps, interschool and after-school sports, and looking after our adopted park, Booth Crescent Reserve.
Our positive climate for learning is fostered through the Department of Education’s School Wide Positive Behaviour (SWPB) approach, driven by our Wellbeing and Inclusion Assistant Principal and the SWPB Team.
It is an honour to be principal of the diverse and talented staff and students of Lyndale Greens Primary School. Continue exploring our website to find out more or book a tour and come and see our school for yourself - I welcome all visitors to our community!
