Year 9 Captains Report
Time has flown past really quickly and we only have two weeks left of Term 3.
Last week from the 31 August to 2 September, Lilydale High School cast of Bring it On The Musical, performed 4 shows, plus two shows for the teachers and Grade 6 students from near by primary schools. Great reviews came back from audience members. The show even got promoted in a local newspaper.
On Tuesday 5 September, the group of talented students that made it through to the second round of athletics competed. Congratulations to the winning students.
From Weeks 6-8 of Term 3, groups of Year 9 students went and explored the city, in City Experience. The students had to choose their own groups, get their own way to and from the city and make their way around the city.
They went to the Shrine of Remembrance, the MCG, Queen Victoria Market, the Old Melbourne Gaol and Eureka Skydeck. They also embarked on an Amazing Race, where they had to find check points around the city using only clues.
On Thursday 7 September, the 3 Way Conferences were held. Parents and students could find out how they were going in all of their classes and if they needed to improve on anything.
Good luck for the rest of Term 3.

Year 10 - Keys Please
On Monday 4 September, a 'Keys Please' Education session was held for Year 10 students on how to use the learning to drive period, get 120 hours of practice and become safe drivers.
The session included the following;
- The reason young drivers are at risk and why driving experience is so important.
- The importance of learning to drive in stages – from simple tasks on quiet roads to more difficult drives in all sorts of road, weather and traffic conditions.
- The importance of developing a positive partnership between learners and their parents.
- Risks for new drivers.
