Teaching & Learning

It is a very busy time of year at the College as teachers finalise assessments, awards and reporting.

PAT Testing

Next week, students in Years 7, 8 and 9 will complete their PAT-M and PAT-R testing. These adaptive tests are conducted annually, except for Year 7 students, who completed their first PAT assessments at the beginning of the year. Students with the highest growth will be celebrated during our end-of-year ceremony on Monday 8th December.

Testing will take place during Periods 1 and 2 from Monday to Wednesday, with additional sessions available on Thursday and Friday for students who are absent.   Please ensure your child brings a fully charged laptop to school each day next week.

2026 Booklist

You may have seen our recent Compass post regarding the 2026 booklist. The booklist is also available on our College website on the following link:  https://www.lilydalebooks.com.au/schools/lilydale-heights-college

Only a small number of books are being retained from the 2025 list. Parents are encouraged to seek second-hand copies and check edition numbers carefully. While we are not holding a formal second-hand book sale this year, some items may be available through the Lilydale Heights College Parents Facebook page.
