ANZAC Day Celebrations 2025
On ANZAC Day, a group of our Executive students attended the May Road Anzac Day Service to pay their respects and honour the sacrifices made by those who served. As part of the ceremony, our Head Student, John Mahe, proudly represented our school by delivering a heartfelt reading.
It was a moving and respectful occasion, and we are very proud of all who participated. It was a privilege to stand alongside members of our community in remembrance.

Below is an update from the Robotics world champs
One of our best campaigns in years has just ended.
We are now in the main arena, which is called The Dome, waiting for the Grand Finals and Awards Ceremony. The Dome is massive and it's full of 7000 to 8000 excited High School students, all making noise and all having fun. We have had a great time, even though we didn't make it to finals. Craig Yearbury
7: 28 AM | We finished the Qualifications round ranked 14 out of 83 in the division. We progressed to the Round of 16 Elimination round ranked as the 11th seeded alliance. We were the last elimination match where the team lost by just 3 points! That is only one scoring element (ring). What a way to finish a year of intense competition. The team will now hang around to see what next years game is then it’s back to the hotel, packing up ready for the long flight home. Thanks to all for your support. Cheers from Doug Bryan (and all the students involved in Robotics at LC)

Robotics Team Visit University of Auckland Innovation Hub
On Thursday, Lynfield College Robotics was given an awesome opportunity to present at the UoA Newmarket Innovation Precinct and to show high school Robotics to a wide group of startups and companies.
We really enjoyed our time, showing our passionate hard work and gained experience from Robotics. We were also given a tour of the precinct, where we got to see the lovely facilities that UoA has to offer, especially their amazing workshop.
Our Robotics team was grateful for this opportunity and were glad to have experienced it.
