An early finish to Interschool Sport this year, with the cancellation for the remainder of the year of any previously scheduled Yarra District, Eastern Metropolitan District and State Sports events.

However, prior to this, Lilydale Heights had a successful year, especially with our Badminton squad in the Year 7 Boys, Senior Girls, and Year 8 Girls events. We also had (or would have had) EMR representation in Girls Football, as well Year 7 and Year 8 Softball and Baseball.

THANK YOU to our Year 12 House Captains who were fortunate enough to be able to participate in all of the College Carnivals, as well as some of the Senior Interschool events, even though they missed out on some other sports activities through the year.

Castella: Megan Galletti and Jade Mason

Melba: Eliza Jeeves and Jordy Thomas

Olinda: Beth Ackroyd and Jackson Butler

Yarra: Aidan Norfolk, Abbey Harrop and Cat D’Couto

Wishing you all the very best with your future endeavours; thank you for being House Captains, and for most of you, Vice-Captain in 2020, during such a tumultuous time.

A big congratulations must be given to Yarra House winning all three of the House Carnivals and becoming the House Champions for 2021.

A special mention to Maisie Hennessy who took out Under 20 Age Group Champion for all the Carnivals this year – Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics.
