Lyneham High School (LHS) is a year 7-10 comprehensive school situated in the inner north area of Canberra, ACT. Enrolments have been steadily increasing at LHS since 2007 and the school is currently at capacity. The school draws on students from across northern Canberra and the number of students attending the school from outside the priority enrolment area has remained relatively co nstant being approximately 55% of the total student population in 2011. The number of students from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background and students enrolled in special education classes have also remained consistent. However, the number of students who come from language backgrounds other than English has been steadily increasing. We celebrate and value the diversity and richness that these students bring to our school.

While providing a diverse range of programs, Lyneham's strong reputation centres on three programs which have become flagships for the school and for public education. These are the award winning band and music program, the Lyneham High School Enriched Academic Program (LEAP) for gifted and talented students and the Sporting Excellence at Lyneham (SEAL) program for talented sports students. Lyneham High School has developed a culture where achievement is celebrated and where students can work together with a strong sense of pride in their school.

The Lyneham High School community is committed to Care, Quality and Creativity. We aspire to always exercise Care for our own well-being and the well-being of others, take pride in the Quality of the learning and teaching that happens in our school and operate in an enviro nment that fosters Creativity and innovation.
