We officially launched the Collaborative Indigenous Strategy with all six schools in the Lilydale and Upper Yarra Education Plan, with the Minister of Education, James Merlino, MP for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing and Wurundjeri elder, Murrindindi.

What a busy term we have had for the first half of Term 2. We have had over 20 different Sport teams participating in the Yarra Group Interschool Sports competitions, as well as Yarra Group Cross Country, the Eastern Region Baseball and very recently the Athletics Carnival, which we will feature in the next Newsletter.

The Year 9 and 10 students played the American version and non-contact version of football over the time period of one month.

It has been a busy time in the veggie garden this term. Students have harvested lettuce, bok choy, beetroot, basil, silverbeet and parsley.

Café Culture students did a wonderful job running two Pink Picnics for Mother’s Day.

Congratulations to our winning Year 8 Badminton Girls who came away with the blue flag

On Tuesday 12th May the Year 8 Netball team competed at the Yarra Group Interschool Netball Competition.

The Middle School Outdoor Ed class again had the opportunity to combine theory content with practical experiences

On Thursday 20th May, we were very nervous as the clouds rolled in and out throughout the day.

This month, students have been learning about some cultural events on the Japanese calendar which is always interesting as these are often so different to the types of things we do in Melbourne.

Well done to all our senior players on 13th May – no one came away from the competition empty-handed which is excellent.

Yes! Our practical events for our new groups got underway on Thursday 29th April, when over 45 students between all of the 4 levels of Award groups worked their way around different routes around Lilydale.
