Lilydale Heights College is a single campus co-educational 7 to 12 College located in the northern area of Lilydale.
Established in 1970, Lilydale Heights College has not only responded positively to, but also anticipated change and as a result has met community needs. The College, which draws its student population from a diverse range of backgrounds, has recently seen significant investment in the development of new buildings and learning spaces designed to support a positive, inclusive environment where all students are able to learn and grow.
Lilydale Heights College has a strong and supportive College Council that ensures that the school continues to excel in everything we do. In addition, we have a structured leadership profile where every child has a Learning Leader, Student Liaison and SELF teacher to help support their learning. Students are also supported in their learning through the work of our Student Engagement and Wellbeing Team and our Careers Team. All students belong to one of our four houses: Olinda, Castella, Melba, and Yarra. Within our House structure, students develop a sense of belonging, connecting to other students and staff via competitions and positive recognition for their demonstration of our College values. This structure allows Lilydale Heights College to support every individual student and assist them in their journey throughout their secondary schooling life and beyond.
Beyond the classroom students are encouraged to involve themselves in the broad co-curricular program. Learning here takes place in many shapes and forms. Students have the opportunity to participate fully on the sporting field, in music ensembles, on the stage, in student leadership activities, Vocational Education and Training courses, in the Technology, Hospitality and Foods areas, to travel to our sister school in Japan, as well as to attend local camps around Victoria and Australia.
