**Location Profile**:
Lyndale Greens Primary School's vision is to be a community thriving through engagement and inclusivity.

Our school is located on Bunurong Country, Dandenong North, in the City of Greater Dandenong - the most culturally diverse community in Victoria. Lyndale Greens Primary School was established in 2010, through the merger of Lyndale Primary School and Greenslopes Primary School.

Our school has over 450 students, 70% of whom speak a language other than English at home, with 40 languages represented.

Our school has a strong focus on the explicit instruction of literacy and numeracy, complemented by a specialist program consisting of Visual Arts, Indonesian/Auslan, Science, Library and Physical Education.

Teaching and learning are supported by interactive displays in each classroom and learning area, 1:1 digital technology in Years 3-6, banks of iPads for junior years, and a TV/podcasting studio.

- InitiaLit for Foundation - Year 2 literacy
- SpellEx for Year 3 spelling
- OCHRE for whole school mathematics
- MiniLit and MacqLit for whole school reading intervention

Our 2024 NAPLAN results (Strong and Exceeding) have our school performing well above 'Similar' and 'Network' schools in all domains except Year 3 Numeracy.

Our students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of extracurricular activities including State School Spectacular, Wakakirri, Girl Guides, swimming, camps, interschool and after-school sports, and looking after our adopted park, Booth Crescent Reserve.

Our staff meet as year level Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) on a weekly basis, where they are guided through cycles of inquiry by our Curriculum and Pedagogy Assistant Principal, and Learning Specialists.

Our positive climate for learning is fostered through the Department of Education's School Wide Positive Behaviour (SWPB) approach, driven by our Wellbeing and Inclusion Assistant Principal and the SWPB Team.

At Lyndale Greens Primary School, our students learn and play by the following values:

- We are Learners
- We are Respectful
- We are Safe

Our school declaration is repeated by students at every assembly:
We are Lyndale Greens Primary School,

We are learners,

We are respectful,

We are safe,

Head, heart, hands - always.
