Our Special Programs

At Lindenow Primary School, our special programs provide opportunities to extend and enrich student learning across a wide range of areas.

​

Swimming

​

All students participate in a compulsory swimming program at the BARC indoor pool as part of our Health and Physical Education curriculum. The cost of the program is included in school fees.

Sport

​

Students compete in school-based Cross Country and Athletics days, with senior students having the opportunity to represent the school at higher levels.

School Camps

​

Camps are an important part of the curriculum, offering students the chance to experience living away from home, reinforce classroom learning, and develop self-reliance, independence, leadership, and confidence.

​

Buddies Program

​

Grade 6 students buddy up with Prep students during their first year. Buddies meet weekly to share learning experiences, support the Preps in their transition, and provide a friendly face in the playground.

​

Environment

​

Our Environment Captains lead initiatives such as recycling, composting, managing the worm farm, and maintaining the veggie garden. Environmental learning also extends into the classroom, covering plant and animal biology, earth sciences, and the world around us. Students further explore these areas during activities at the Woodglen Campus and through vegetable and fruit growing at both campuses.

​

Health & Wellbeing

​

Lindenow Primary School runs a variety of health programs:

• Grade 5 and 6: Relationships and sexuality lessons, plus an annual Personal Development Program

• All grades: Social skills and wellbeing programs, weekly Physical Education sessions

• Students are encouraged to maintain healthy habits through initiatives such as fruit break times, healthy lunch days, fun exercise events, Jump Rope for Heart, and the end-of-year Fun Sports Day.

​

Library

​

Our well-stocked library and dedicated Library Manager make reading enjoyable and engaging. Students are encouraged to participate in the Premier’s Reading Challenge and access the Scholastic Book Club to select books to take home.

​

Performing Arts

​

Students participate in a variety of performing arts programs and enjoy visits from travelling performers. They also perform at school assemblies, community events, and the end-of-year Christmas celebration.

​

End-of-Year Concert

​

The concert is a highlight of the school year. Students perform in their House Groups (Wuk Wuk, Walpa, Calulu, Woodglen), presenting a fun Christmas song to the community. Awards and presentations celebrate student achievements, and Grade 6 students are farewelled with a special gift.

​

Grade 6 Graduation

​​

Each year, our Grade 6 Graduation Evening celebrates the success of our graduating students. Families are invited to a two-course dinner where students receive their Graduation Certificates and Year Book, marking the end of their primary school journey.
