Lyneham High School

Currently, 1069 students are enrolled at Lyneham High School. The feeder schools are Turner Primary and Lyneham Primary School. See Enrolment Areas for Lyneham High School for more information.

Lyneham High School's band program consists of five concert bands and two jazz bands, as well as several smaller ensembles. The concert bands are the Year 7 Beginner Band (for new students who are just beginning to learn an instrument), the Year 7 Concert Band (for new students who already play the instrument), the Year 8 Concert Band (which is joint by Year 7 Beginner and Concert Band from the previous year, most years is the largest concert band in the ACT), the Year 9 Concert Band, and the Year 10 Concert Band. The jazz bands are the Intermediate Jazz Band (for students proficient in their instrument in years 7 and 8) and the Senior Jazz Band (students in years 9 and 10). Every year, all of these bands enter the Australian National Eisteddfod, and all of the concert bands go on tours.

Towards the later stages of the year, Year 10 students are offered places in the Ginninderra Wind Orchestra as a means of continuing their musical careers after leaving Lyneham.

Lyneham High School received a grant from the A.C.T. Government to build a new Performing Arts centre to help better the Performing Arts program at the school. Architects have completed the blueprints for the $5.3 million complex and construction began in June 2009. The Performing Arts centre was completed in March 2010, opened by Andrew Barr MLA. The centre has already hosted its first Lyneham High musical and several band performances. It was also the venue for the 2010 Australian National Jazz Eisteddfod.

LEAP (Lyneham Enriched Academic Program) is designed to allow high school children to enrich their learning in the fields of Maths, Science, Social Studies (HASS) and English. It provides a foundation for bright students intending to study these subjects at higher levels. The program is selective, with around thirty students being accepted in each year by means of a range of tests determining students' proficiency in each of the four subjects. LEAP students commonly receive awards for their various academic achievements.

The requirements of LEAP are that the students are to sit the Australian Council for Education tests in the subjects of English, Mathematics, and Science.

LEAP students attend two camps aside from other students throughout their schooling at Lyneham High School: one in Year 8, and one in Year 10.

The SEAL (Sporting Excellence At Lyneham) program is aimed at elite athletic students, giving them the opportunity to improve in their chosen sport by attending scheduled training sessions weekly. Some of the sports offered include: Swimming, Soccer, Tennis, Cricket, Basketball, Netball, Hockey, AFL, Rugby Union, Volleyball and Weights. Meanwhile, the PE system allows SEAL students to catch up on work missed due to attending the specialist sessions. SEAL students are also obliged to participate in a minimum of 3 events at each of the school carnivals, (Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics), as well as to participate in other sporting related responsibilities.
