We were thrilled by the incredible number of prospective students and families that joined us for our recent Open Night. Families took part in an informative school tour led by staff and students, exploring our College grounds and facilities. At each checkpoint, families engaged in a range of activities and learnt about all the wonderful opportunities on offer to students at Lilydale Heights College. I had the opportunity to speak to many primary school students and families on the night and everyone I spoke to spoke highly of our school, our learning programs, staff and students. It was wonderful receiving this feedback from our community. We know that we are a college that consistently focuses on high-quality teaching and learning for our students, and it is reassuring to hear our wider community confirm this.

Note: the speeches begin at 50 min

I would like to thank all of our students and staff who supported our Open Night and made this such an incredible event for our community. In particular, I would like to thank Isabella Phillips (Assistant Principal), Tim Wright (Assistant Principal) and Helene Butterworth (DPO) for their leadership and organisation of the evening.

We will continue to conduct day tours over the coming months for prospective students and their families so that they are able to see us in action. Many of the families on the tours have been speaking very highly of Lilydale Heights College. They continue to be impressed by our calm and orderly learning environment and our focus on learning and wellbeing.

We are extremely proud of our school, staff and students and are privileged to share this with our wider community.
