Principal's Message
| Lynfield College has a proud tradition of serving the central-west Auckland area for over 60 years. In that time it has developed a reputation as a centre of academic excellence in a safe, caring, positive environment. Students are encouraged to take full part in the busy life of the college, and participate in the many and varied sporting, arts, cultural, and leadership opportunities. With over 1800 students we offer an extremely broad curriculum to meet the needs of our students. For this reason the overwhelming majority of our Year 9 intake complete five years of secondary education and leave well-equipped for the opportunities and challenges of tertiary study, trades training and employment. Our careers and academic staff work beside students to ensure they understand their options and future career pathways prior to leaving Lynfield College. Lynfield College also offers a wide variety of extra support for students. Our ESOL programme caters for the needs of our second language students. Students with additional learning needs have access to advice and guidance offered through the Learning Support department to support them with learning and assessment. |

| As 21st century learners, our students are increasingly engaged with digital technology. Our blended e-learning programme, along with the best of traditional classroom practice, ensures that all learners have the opportunity to become digitally capable individuals. Lynfield students learn skills to facilitate their success in our rapidly-changing and increasingly digital world. Learning is supported anywhere, anytime, at any pace. For more information see the eLearning section of the website. This website introduces Lynfield College to potential students and families, provides information and news in our ongoing relationship with current students, their parents / caregivers and our community, and importantly, incorporates Schoology, the e-learning portal for our students. Lynfield College has high expectations of its learners and are proud of their successes. Our academic results are consistently high, and we have the confidence and respect of our community.

ERO Confirmed Reports 2024
Te Ara Huarau is the evaluation approach that the Education Review Office (ERO) is using in our school. This is a developmental approach to evaluation where ERO and Lynfield College work together over time rather than the 'one off' periodic review that happened previously. Te Ara Huarau is used in most English-medium state and state-integrated schools.
ERO maintains a regular review programme to evaluate and report on the education and care of young people in the schools. Our school worked alongside ERO to write our Profile Report. This type of report will only happen once as part of our initial engagement with Te Ara Huarau. The profile report reflects our strategic goals and a shared evaluation focus on one or more areas that are important to us as we work together to improve outcomes for all our learners. ERO, like us, has a strong focus on equity and excellence. Future reporting will show our progress and achievement towards meeting the goals we have set. Public reports like the Profile Report are published on ERO's website.
