Lyndale Secondary College

Lyndale Secondary College, located on the Lands of the Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation, is committed to reconciliation and actively working in partnership with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.    

We acknowledge and respect the deep, ongoing connections Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to this Land and its waters, recognising that they hold the wisdom and knowledge of the world's oldest continuous cultures. We believe that education is the key to change, and through it, we are committed to truth-telling and to supporting the self-determination of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in education.    

Our vision for reconciliation is a culturally inclusive and responsive learning environment, where reconciliation is not just a word, but a shared purpose. We are dedicated to listening, learning, and working alongside the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community to embed their perspectives, truths, and cultural practices into every aspect of school life from classrooms to events.    

We see reconciliation as a vital opportunity for healing, for our community to engage deeply with the cultures of the First Peoples of Australia, and to embrace it as a living, integral part of Australia's shared identity. By fostering genuine partnerships and authentic communication, we continue to guide students towards a future where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth feel safe to be proud of their heritages, empowered as leaders, and active participants within the school community.    

At Lyndale Secondary College, we believe the path forward is together, and through collaboration and education, we strive to shape a future where understanding, respect, and unity prevail.
