Lynwood Senior High School

School Find introduces Lynwood Senior High School in Parkwood, for all your education and learning needs.

Lynwood Senior High School was first established in 1974, not on its current site but in eight demountable classrooms in the grounds of Cannington Senior High School. The first Lynwood High Principal at this site was Mr. Bill Goulding with  two Deputy Principals, Mrs. Meredith Crossing and Mr. Peter Clark.

Many of the students at this time came as migrants from the United Kingdom with their families. Today the school is a multicultural blend with student from various Asian countries, the Middle East and most recently African migrants.

In January 1975 the school opened its doors to Years 8 and 9 at the Metcalfe St location where it is today. The school motto ‘Sincerity’ has been part of the school from these early times and the school crest which incorporates the image of a ‘Swan’ was the inspiration of Mr. Goulding the first Principal.

The original school uniform colour was mauve, fashionable in the 1970s, but in the 1980s the colours changed to the blue and yellow that the students wear today.
