Structured Workplace Learning (SWL) is on-the-job training that allows students to develop their work skills and understand employer expectations. SWL is available to Lilydale Heights College students undertaking a VET program as part of their VCE or VCAL studies.
I would like to welcome everyone from the school community to the 2018 school year. I trust that everyone had a safe and restful summer break and are ready for the upcoming year.
Another year has very quickly come and gone. It is difficult to believe that this is the final newsletter for the 2017 school year. It has been a very busy year and December has been no exception. While the College is busy preparing for the 2018 school year, many programs and activities have continued to be prepared and delivered to students still at the College.
Throughout the last few weeks of the year, each of the year 10 students worked on a variety of fundraisers within their SELF classes.
The Lilydale Heights College End of Year Showcase was held once again in October 2017 at the Karralyka Theatre in Ringwood. The evening included performances by all of the College’s Music Ensembles, allowing all of our instrumental music students an opportunity to display the incredible skills to which they have dedicated so much time and effort all year.
The business end of the year is upon us with final assessments and examinations being completed by students in many levels across the College.
Year 7 students have been studying food and drink in Japanese this term. Recently they had the opportunity in class to learn how to use chopsticks and apply their conversational language skills whilst eating cup noodles (which originated in Japan not China – there is some debate about this!).
Lilydale Heights College is part of the Yarra Group Division for interschool Sports. Students can elect or be selected to represent the College in a variety of sports played against eight other schools in this region.
