Term 2 has seen a large number of students being involved in the Interschool sports events, competing in the Yarra Group Winter sports.

Daniel Hughes was involved in the Futsal Junior World Cup in early March, held in Barcelona, Spain. Following is a summary of his experience.

Congratulations to Bella Theophanous-Maddison, Tash McGrath and Hayley Ray who represented the College and the Yarra Group district in the EMR Swimming Carnival on March 26.

Congratulations to all the students who participated in this Carnival on March 7. We had 12 students who represented the College, not only swimming in their events they had won at the College Carnival, as well as participating in other events which resulted in Lilydale Heights coming 6th overall, including coming 3rd in the Junior Aggregate.

Swimming was held this year on the last day of Summer and, boy, did we know it! A great day was had by all, plenty of shade and sunscreen and the chance to participate in not just swimming events, but the 5 minute challenges, Melbourne Cup and Ball Toss in the wading pool meant everyone could keep cool.

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.

Term 3 concludes the majority of our interschool sports with Basketball and Table Tennis being played for the Year 7-10’s, and Year 7 Hockey.

Congratulations to Yarra House who have won the 2017 House of the year winning both the swimming and athletics carnivals. They are also equal winners with Castella in the cross country.

Our new Outdoor Education group in this semester started their activities off with mountain biking skills at school this week.
