In the last two weeks the Year 11's have well and truly settled into VCE life. With most of us beginning our first SACS and understanding the importance of time management and preparation in VCE. Deb practice is also in full swing, with Week 4 coming to a close.
The LHS swimming carnival was a great success with everyone getting into the spirit and wearing their house colours. The winning house of 2015 was Deakin, overtaking everyone in house spirit and overall points! A big thank you to all the teachers who organise the event every year and Ringwood Aquanation centre for hosting it.
We also wish a safe and enjoyable camp to all the VCE students partaking in Outdoor and Environmental Studies, who are heading to Waratah Bay and the Bass Coast tomorrow.
Well done to everyone for starting off the year with such enthusiasm and dedication! Good luck to all Year 11's in your up and coming SACS.
