Lynwood Senior High School

Annual Report 2015

An Independent Public School

In 2015 the school commenced the new 2015 – 2017 Business Plan. The School Board was instrumental in increasing Lynwood Senior High School’s profile in the community with visits by the Minister of Education, business leaders, and high profile community members. The Board was influential in Lynwood SHS being named a finalist in the Western Australian Educational Awards as Secondary School of the Year. This was a proud moment for Lynwood and an important acknowledgement of the hard work and dedication of all involved at Lynwood SHS.Our first year of Year 7 students on secondary campuses commenced smoothly as a result of close collaborations with our primary schools, and a well-planned transition program for both the Year 7 and 8 cohorts. This planning also enabled the school to appoint a second Lower School Manager to support the transition of Year 7 students to high school and ensure improved delivery of student services to all students. This targeted initiative enhanced the school’s commitment to the management of each student in order to meet their educational needs.In 2015 highlights were many and continue to enhance the school’s reputation, tradition and culture. We celebrated the success of our Year 12 students who maintained our consistency in the quality of their WACE performances. The most positive highlight came from the Mathematics 3C/D results, with Lynwood SHS recognised as one of the top performing schools in the state (out of 180 schools that deliver the course). Our Median ATAR of 75.4 was well above ‘like schools’ and seven ATAR students achieved a score of 95+, with a further eleven students achieving 90+. These excellent results are a credit to the students, their families and the staff. Our Year 7, 8 and 10 Debating teams won their division in the Fremantle Education District Inter-School Debating Competition. It was a fantastic effort from all teams with both the Year 7 and 8 teams needing to win the final debate to take out the title! The students certainly performed exceptionally well under pressure. Congratulations to all teams and to the staff involved.

Our Year 9 EaLS class won the best Report as well as the best Overall School (Report, Poster and Presentation) in the Curtin Engineering in Schools Project, a competition across all education sectors. Congratulations to the students and staff. This has been our most successful result to date.

Lynwood SHS was successful in making the finals of the WA Education Awards for Secondary School of the Year. Although we were not successful in winning the award, making the final four was a great achievement in itself.

The Hon Peter Collier MLC, Minister of Education, the Hon Mike Nahan MLA and the Hon Simon O’Brien MLC visited Lynwood SHS. The Hon Mark McGowan MLA, Leader of the Opposition, and the Hon Bill Johnston MLA also visited our school. During both school visits discussions were held about aspects of Lynwood SHS that we would like to upgrade, as well as visits to some of our classrooms with presentations from students, discussions and interactions. As a school we continue to build traditions of excellence in our whole of school celebrations of Harmony and NAIDOC Week, ANZAC Services, Sustainability Week, social activities and the culmination of the year in the annual Year 12 Presentation Evening.

Andrew Jack Principal

I would like to commend the 2015 Annual Report to the Lynwood Senior High School Education Community.
