Lynall Hall Community School, Corner of Gleadell and Highett Streets, Richmond VIC 3121 Phone: 9428 4421

Lynall Hall Community School is a small school with two campuses located in Richmond, with convenient access to all forms of transport. Lynall Hall caters for students who for a variety of reasons are seeking an alternative to mainstream schooling. Enrolment is discretionary and takes place at the start of each school term. Lynall Hall and No. 1 provides alternative secondary education to an enrolment of approximately 120 students from across the metropolitan area.

"The school’s size and pragmatic blending of social and academic learning are key ingredients to its ability to service the needs of otherwise disengaged students".

Lynall Hall Community School and No. 1 provides a broad curriculum encompassing relevant aspects of the Key Learning Areas for Years 7- 10 with a balanced mix of core and and elective studies. Given the small size of the school, a reasonable range of VCE, VCAL and VET subjects is offered at years 11 and 12. The school combines Units 1 and 2 and Units 3 and 4 for some subjects so as to maintain subject availability. Students In year 10 have the opportunity to study at least one VCE, VCAL or VET subject. There is also considerable flexibility in teaching strategies. Whilst it is possible for students to take more than two years to complete their VCE, the timetable is structured to facilitate successful two-year completion.

Opportunities for positive interaction with the wider community are provided, including camps, excursions, work experience and community service. Excellent school facilities ensure a wide range of practical, expressive and academic activities. These include:

Well- equipped science, music, art, woodwork, media and photography rooms;
School hall, frequently used for performance, sports and Circus training;
Multi- media computer lab, equipped for video editing, 3D animation (Kahootz educational program) and advanced digital imaging;
Industrial kitchen facilities, suitable for classroom and commercial use;
Library;

A Daily Breakfast & Lunch Club, operates to ensure students are able to enjoy a nutritious meal or snack in a friendly atmosphere. The school has access to local facilities such as Richmond Recreation Centre's gymnasium and swimming pool, football oval and Yarra bike paths. As members of a school community which emphasises mutual trust and goal based learning strategies, it is considered important that students develop:

Productive behaviour and attitudes,
Enhanced skills and abilities,
Realistic views of their strengths and weaknesses.

Students are expected to attend regularly and punctually; participate productively in all their classes and involve themselves in Whole School Activities.
