As part of our curriculum students are provided with point of need learning opportunities. Through early diagnostic assessments and use of our learning pathways our staff gain valuable insights into each student’s unique learning needs. This approach enables us to provide tailored challenges for those excelling beyond their expected level and targeted support for those requiring assistance, ensuring that all students demonstrate learning growth. At Lilydale Heights College, we pride ourselves on delivering a comprehensive and dynamic curriculum, that supports each student’s individual journey towards academic success.
Our Year 8 students have opportunities to engage with a range of additional curricular experiences including camp, Voice of Eight, interschool sport, and the games carnival. Additionally, some students are provided with an opportunity to engage in our Hands on Learning Program. Hands on Learning is a practical school program that builds wellbeing, engagement, and attendance. It provides the opportunity for students to experience success by participating in purposeful and meaningful projects.
We are proud of our Year 8 curriculum and the opportunities it provides for students to thrive, learn and grow.
