Welcome to Year 7
We would like to welcome you and your child to Year 7 at Lilydale High School.
Our Junior School Office has an open door policy. Students are welcome to come in and discuss any queries or concerns they may have.
We have sporting equipment for students to borrow during recess or lunch. A number of lunchtime activity clubs run throughout the year which students are encouraged to attend.
If you wish to meet with a Coordinator, it is recommended to call to make an appointment as Coordinators are often teaching or dealing with student issues. We look forward to a rewarding year ahead.
Compass
Compass is our main way of communicating for Year 7 and 8 parents and carers. It is imperative that you have access to your Compass account. If you are having difficulties logging in, please contact the Junior School Office or IT department.
Notices, general information, payment for interschool sport, camps, excursions and incursions, events and more are available on Compass. You can also view classes, absences, work requirements and reports.
You may email your child's teachers directly if you have any concerns with regard to class work.
Student Absences
It is DET (Department of Education & Training) policy that all student absences be accounted for.
If your child is absent, there are several ways to assist us to fulfil our legal obligations and approve any outstanding absences by:
- Logging in to Compass to approve an absence
- Calling the Junior School Absence Line
- Providing a note to the Home Group teacher or Junior School Office
If it is expected that your child will be away for more than two days, please communicate this with the Junior School Office.
If you have forgotten your Compass username and password, please contact Kerri Skewes in the Junior School Office.
Lockers
As a number of valuable items (device, mobile, wallets, etc) are left in students’ lockers throughout the day, it is imperative that students padlock their locker to ensure items do not go missing.
Locks can be purchased from the School Office for $10.00
Devices - Chromebooks
It is important that your child charges their device overnight as they will not be able to charge it at school. Their device is a really important learning tool that should be ready to use every day.
Our IT Department assisted students throughout the first week of school to ensure they had their login details and passwords.
Mobile Phones
Mobile phones must be kept locked in lockers at all times throughout the school day. Sanctions will apply for any student using their mobile phone whilst at school.
If you need to contact your child throughout the day please contact the Junior School Office and a message will be forwarded to your child.
Year 7 Phillip Island Camp
Your child will have received the attached notice regarding the Year 7 Phillip Island Camp.
Payment and consent for this event is due by Monday 21 February.
Celebrating Student Achievements
If there is an achievement that happens in your child's life outside of school (sporting achievements, musical successes etc), please let us know, as we would like to acknowledge their success.
