Principal's Report - Dec '19

2019 has been another busy and productive school year. It is difficult to believe that this is the final newsletter for the year. December has been very industrious with students engaged in classroom and extra-curricular activities. While the College is busy preparing for the 2020 school year, many programs and activities have continued to be prepared and delivered to students still at the College.

Students clean up for COW week

For three days last week, Lilydale Heights College students helped with weeding and picking up rubbish in some of Lilydale’s local areas, like Melba Park, The Gateway and Ringwood Lake. Our goal for the week was to improve the state of the environment in and around Lilydale. While cleaning, we found a variety of items, such as: plastic, glass, old sporting equipment and clothing. It is unfortunate that one year since our last cleanup week, there was enough rubbish to fill 8 ½ large garbage bags. By doing this COW program students have learnt how to care for their environment, develop social relationships with each other, and have realized that there is a lot more rubbish out there if you look for it. They also helped the community by cleaning up their parks, so that they have a nice leisure area. We would like to thank the students who participated and the teachers who got involved in helping clean up Lilydale and the Ringwood lake.
