Principal's Message
Lynfield College has a proud tradition of serving the central-west Auckland area for over 50 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 1900 students we are able to offer an extremely broad curriculum that is able to meet the needs of most 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. The careers and academic staff work with the students to ensure they are aware of their options and make sound decisions 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 learning difficulties have the advice and guidance offered by the Learning Support unit to help them with their learning.
The Gifted and Talented Co-ordinator oversees the advanced learner programme that is provided in the junior school. In the senior school advanced courses in a range of specialist subjects provide pathways that extend our most able students; scholarship and co-curricular competition success is the expectation. |

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 more importantly, also incorporates an e-learning portal for our students. Lynfield College is committed to equipping our students with the skills relevant to success in this rapidly-changing and increasingly digital world, and continuing to extend our e-learning resources is part of this.
We are extremely proud of our students and their successes across all aspects of college activities. We have the confidence and respect of our community and Lynfield College has been regularly endorsed by the Ministry of Education Review Office as a “high-performing school”.
