Principal's Message


I’m Trish Marton, and I am thrilled to be joining the Lanyon High community as Principal. It’s a privilege to step into a place with such a strong foundation and I’m looking forward to building on the great things already happening here. From my very first visit, I could see that Lanyon High is a close-knit, vibrant community where students, staff and families work together.

Since opening in 1996, Lanyon High School has earned a reputation for empowering students to take pride in their learning, develop independence, and thrive as respectful and resilient young people. Our school values of Student Empowerment, Respectful Relationships, Pride in our Community and Resilience, guide everything we do. These values shape our culture and support our students to be confident, compassionate, and responsible learners.

At Lanyon High School, students engage in learning through core subjects including English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Health & Physical Education.  Throughout their time here they can choose electives from different disciplines including Arts, Technologies, Japanese, Leadership, and Outdoor Education. Flexible timetabling and enrichment options allow students to pursue their interests and extend their learning.

Learning is a partnership between school and families, and your support is vital to your child’s success. We value open communication through ongoing conversations with teachers and pastoral care staff, meeting at parent teacher evenings, and progress reports. Together, we can ensure that every student becomes a confident, independent learner who is ready to embrace the future.

I’m excited to be part of this journey with you and look forward to working together to support students to be connected, creative and confident learners.
