The Heights, Lilydale Heights College Newsletter, is published each month and aims to collect important posts from our website, community notices and advertisements in downloadable files. We ask that all parents read our website or/and newsletter to stay updated with all the school news.

We recently held our annual Awards Ceremony to celebrate and acknowledge some outstanding accomplishments by our students.

The Year 9 cohort left school bright and early to start the long bus ride to Port Fairy! When we finally arrived, we stopped at Tower Hill, an inactive volcano where we took a walk and saw wildlife such as koalas, emus, and turtles. We were also educated by a local Indigenous woman about the Gunditjmara land and culture.

A fantastic afternoon – well done to all of our awardees across all year levels!

For their final assessment, Year 8’s held an Exhibition in Weeks 9 and 10. Students researched their choice of inquiry topic and created a presentation demonstrating their understanding of aspects of Japanese culture and philosophy.

Thank you to everyone who donated to our Wishing Tree.

Good morning, Baltimore… sorry, we mean Lilydale Heights College community!

Four of our SIRC students, Laura, Amelia, Hayley and Zak, were selected to attend the Interact District Assembly Day (IDAD).

Year 7’s had fun with an end of year activity, making chocolate chip cookies and packaging them for Christmas.

A group of Year 9 students went to Funfields on Tuesday 6th December. Feedback received from students was that they had lots of fun and were so happy to have had the opportunity to go on the excursion.

Well done to our riding group, they have developed their riding skills and enjoyed a social ride with others throughout the year.

Over the last few weeks, many of our senior students have been involved in a range of assessment tasks and exams as they finalise their coursework for 2022.
