Lyneham Primary School shortly after opening its doors in 1959.
Lyneham Primary School recently celebrated its 60th Birthday, hosting past students and teachers and school leaders, along with current staff, students and community members during a festive school assembly.
The school has changed a lot since it was established in 1959 and students reflected on some of the differences that students from the 50’s would have noticed.
“It’s so crazy! They wouldn’t even know that computers existed. They would have had to look at a dictionary…” Year 6 student Akira Byrne said.
Principal Annamaria Zuffo said she is looking forward to what the future holds for the school over the coming years.
Lyneham Primary School in 2019 - its Diamond Anniversary!
“The changing demographics excite me and the development of a plan for the future of education and the area,” Principal Zuffo said.
“I look forward to continuing to develop relationships with students, staff and families and businesses through community partnerships.”
The school is proud of having provided education for the community over the past 60 years. The school’s mission statement reads:
Lyneham Primary is a special place - we are welcoming, open and caring. We value our partnerships with the broader community to improve student outcomes. Because we believe in respectful relationships, the social justice principles of equity and fairness underpin our work with all students, staff and families. We encourage our students to seek to understand and value the perspectives of others. Lyneham Primary School strives to promote a culture of high expectations for our students’ academic success.
Lyneham will continue to be a place where students love to learn, where there is a strong culture of purposeful and creative learning and where students, staff and families are happy and engaged as a vibrant learning community.
Congratulations on an amazing 60 years!
