Our year 12 group completed their first outdoor experience this week: 3 days investigating the historical relationships of the Cape Liptrap area.

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.

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.

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!).

An overnight camp and hike for the first time is always a massive achievement which is no easy feat.

We paddled the 8km section of river from Homestead Road to Wittons Reserve featuring some quite substantial rapids that have caught a number of experienced paddlers out.

We went to the Murrindindi Scenic Reserve where the students had to complete a 2 day self-sufficient journey in the natural environments.
