LONG-SERVING volunteer David Reid has been recognised for his dedication to helping local school students with a national award. The former railway worker was named the EdConnect Mentor of the Year in recognition of 15 years of volunteering at Lynwood Senior High School.... Along with wife Margaret, Mr Reid spends two days a week helping students improve their English through an Intensive English Centre program. Building a strong rapport with the students and assisting them in improving their spoken and written language skills is something Mr Reid finds incredibly rewarding. Lynwood SHS Principal Geraldine Hardy said Mr Reid had been a huge inspiration to the school and she was extremely grateful for his care and commitment over the years. It is not often that a school has the unconditional support of a member of the community for so long, she said. We are truly blessed to have David and others like him, including his wife Margaret, participate enthusiastically in the life of our school. Mr Reid said he felt like a proud grandfather when the students excelled.

12.01.2022 Dear Parents/Carers You may by now have noticed the extensive fencing surrounding the Lynwood Senior High School oval. After many years of lobbying, the Department of Education has agreed to completely replace the grass with roll-on kikuyu turf. The reason for this is that the playing fields were not level and were not providing the best playing surface for a school with a Specialist Soccer Program.... This is an exciting development and the oval will be finished during Term 1.

09.01.2022 Soccer Academy - South East Champions Lynwood S.H.S Junior B Teams The Junior Boys B Team have deservedly booked their spot in the final against Cannington C.C thanks to impressive wins over Southern River, Australian Islamic College and Darling Range. The boys were excited and a little nervous about the prospect of such an important game so early into their Lynwood journey. The game was played Mills Park, full pitch AstroTurf, deserving of a final. The game started very sh...aky, Lynwood giving up the ball very easily deep in our half. This put us on the back foot which led to golden opportunities for Cannington, which on another day, could have seen us be down 3-0 after 10 minutes. But we were very fortunate and despite being physical outplayed which the Year 7 Reward Excursion to Outback Splash may have played its part, managed to only be down 1-0 at the half. The half time came at a great time to regroup the boys. A great pep up speech highlighting we can make Cannington pay for those missed opportunities and changing the game play to playing more direct gave the team a spark. A few changes and fresh legs also played a huge part in what was to come. The second half started more brightly but still struggled finding clear opportunities on goal. Against the run of the play halfway through the half Cannington scored a second which gave them one hand on the trophy. 2-0 down with 15 minutes to play the boys could have easily put their heads down and folded, but in true Lynwood spirit, that wasn’t going to happen. Final coaching changes moving players into different positions proved to be a coaching masterpiece. The man of the moment, Adam, who already was having a great game was put up front and boy oh boy did the game change. Adam found himself with the ball just inside the box, shot wide of the keeper, off the post and in. 2-1 down and the team found a new lift of energy. The boys were eager to win the ball back and Cannington for the first time in the game felt the pressure. Cannington gave up a cheap foul in the center of the park which saw a quick direct freekick put Adam through 1 on 1 with the keeper and cool as you like he slotted it past him. 2-2 and all momentum going our way, Lynwood believed that they had it in them. With constant forward pressure and Cannington on the backfoot, we had a corner. A well-placed corner saw who else but the man of the hour Adam time his run and jump perfectly, and with a header, smashed it straight past the goalie. 3-2 up and with only minutes to go, the boys dug deep and defended their goal well with a final last-minute golden opportunity for Cannington go begging due to Noah’s heroics. Surviving the last couple minutes which seemed to go on forever, the whistle was blown, and Lynwood Junior B boys had won, South East Champions and in what can only be a game for the ages. Well done boys. Mr Galic
