The boys are exposed to the daily challenges of their studies, games and cultural activities. Each boy, as a unique individual, is also exposed to many types of extra activities that test them further. It is Lindisfarne’s belief that part of all boys’ education should involve opportunities to extend themselves to the limit, as often as possible, so that they can develop initiative, self-motivation, personal satisfaction, confidence and an all-encompassing belief in themselves as people.

Principal’s Comments
Lindisfarne College prides itself on providing a personalised education. The size of the College is small enough to allow each boy to be known by everyone and for him to be an integral part of the community. At the same time it is large enough to offer the widest and most competitive range of academic, cultural, recreational and sporting opportunities. Each student learns in an achievement based environment. Small class sizes allow for greater individual assistance from our experienced teachers.
There is a traditional emphasis on promoting academic rigor and excellence which has yielded outstanding results in external examinations.
