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.

How quickly the term has passed and once again there has been no end of activities that students have undertaken both in and out of the classroom. Students and staff have worked hard to reintegrate into a school routine after many months of uncertainty. I am very proud of the way the school has settled and our renewed focus on teaching and learning.

It has been a great start to the new Middle School subject, Kitchen Garden. Students have been enthusiastic about the creation of a veggie garden at the College, lining the new beds and filling them with soil, then planting and watering.

On Wednesday March 10th, the Year 10 Peer Support class headed down to the Year 7 camp at Phillip Island.

Year 7 Camp to Phillip Island - it is one of the first big events of high school with new friendships formed and memories made that will be kept forever.

The Middle School Outdoor Education class were again getting active outdoors on March 18.

Well done to all of the students who ventured out on our explorations this past weekend.

Well done to all our students on their weekend hike held earlier this month; they ended up walking over 50km for the whole weekend with their back packs; walking up and down over difficult terrains and river crossings.

Three teams from Year 7 made a trip away from school on March 16 for their first interschool competition.

On Tuesday March 23 we had our Whole College Cross Country.

The College is always happy to hear about our students’ achievements in extracurricular activities.

Congratulations to all of the students who attended and represented the College at the Yarra Division Swimming Carnival on Friday 5th of March.
