Friday 6th December was an important day for the 2020 Students Interact Representative Council. Students spent the day planning their events for 2020 which are looking to be really exciting.

Lilydale Heights College is always happy to share in students’ extra curricula activities.

It was a fitting end to a busy year for all of our Award students. Students from Year 7 through to Year 10 worked alongside each other; it was great to see.

Well done to Laura, Hayley and Amelia who attended the Interact District Assembly Day on Monday 2nd December.

Learning Focus has been on examinations and On Demand Testing as a part of our assessment schedule. On Demand Testing allows students and staff to check student growth in literacy and numeracy throughout this year.

In week 4 Japanese students from Year 7, 8 and Middle School participated in a Taiko Workshop with Kiyomi-Sensei.

The gardening team from the Voice of 8 have continued this month to complete the Ute garden bed. With the help of Doug Sandon (maintenance) they have made a frame for the Ute tray to sit on and have filled it with soil.

Well, we returned from our final Outdoor Ed experience this semester. Overall the students have made a considerable journey through their high ropes, kayaking, biking and now hike camping experiences this semester.

In Term 4 Science, students undertake a unit of Biology focussing on classification and ecology. As part of this curriculum, we undertook an excursion to Healesville Sanctuary.

On Friday 8th November the Year 9’s went to Dark Zone Laser Tag in Box Hill. We took the train from Lilydale Station to Box Hill and walked to the four story laser tag arena. We got split into four teams, three teams played against each other at a time, so we rotated a couple of times.

Term 4 has seen seven teams competing in various Eastern Metropolitan Region Sporting events, as well as the EMR Athletics Carnival, with Zane Wheeler successfully competing in the State Athletics Carnival.

Congratulations to Ms Clare Rayner, Duke of Edinburgh instructor for her official recognition as an award leader in the State of Victoria.
