welcome

Dear Family, Students and Friends,

To promote and nurture the individual potential of your child is a serious and considered business.  I am delighted that you are considering Linwood College for your child’s secondary schooling. Linwood is an ambitious and forward-looking learning community where everyone is encouraged to achieve personal excellence, to get involved and to enjoy learning.

Certainly you can expect a stimulating and challenging learning program, where high expectations count. Teachers are passionate about their subjects, deeply committed to the College and keen to draw the very best from each of our students. This, combined with a rich and stimulating range of sports, arts and cultural opportunities, really does mean that your child can explore any possible talent or interest, whether latent or burgeoning.

As a college, we are poised to enter an exciting new era, and we welcome both the opportunities and the challenges of the future as we move, in a manner which is supportive, disciplined and determined, towards our goal of attaining personal excellence and equity for every student.

Whatever your abilities or interests, when you eventually leave this school as a young adult, we envisage sending you out confident and well prepared for the future. You will join thousands of former Linwood students who play prominent roles in every aspect of society both in New Zealand and overseas.

We have an exciting future ahead of us; I do hope your child can be part of it. Together we can make a difference and we look forward to a successful partnership within the Linwood College family.

Margaret Paiti
