Local farmers in the fertile river flats produce high quality vegetables, beef and dairy products. Locals enjoy the wonderful surrounding features such as sporting facilities/venues/activities, the beautiful Mitchell River, Gippsland Lakes, native forests, mountains and the close proximity of the ocean.

The school enjoys a close relationship with the community and is a source of pride within the community. With a student population of around 132 students, the school takes pride in maintaining a very good student/teacher ratio in the classrooms. The staff consists of a combination of young and experienced teachers. Eighty per cent of the students travel to school by bus or car from outlying rural areas.

The school has several features such as a comprehensive Arts Program, student enrichment, student leadership, teacher mentoring and peer support. The school is currently organised with eight classrooms. The school has excellent facilities and maintains a second campus at Woodglen, which is situated ten kilometres west of Lindenow. This campus encompasses outdoor education, art and agricultural science programs. Some overnight camps and excursions are held at this campus. Both campuses are well maintained, and the students are offered a range of educational experiences.
