PARENT/CARER INFORMATION
Parent Contributions 2026
Lilydale High School is proud to offer a wide range of high-quality curricular and extra-curricular programs designed to support the learning, wellbeing and interests of our students.
Schools provide students with free instruction to meet standard curriculum requirements, and we would like to reassure families that all parent contributions are voluntary.

The 2026 course fees will be available through the Parent Payment Centre on Compass in late January.
If you wish to set up a payment plan for your student’s subject fees, please contact the Finance Team via email at

Travel Free – Youth myki
From 1 January 2026, public transport will be free for children under 18!

Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)
Reconciliation Action Plans (RAPs) are an active commitment by organisations to Reconciliation. In 2026, Lilydale High School will develop its first RAP.
The RAP working party will include students, school staff, and community members. If you would like to be part of the working party to help shape our school’s RAP, please contact Melissa McMillan at the school.
For more information on school-specific Reconciliation Action Plans, please see below.
2026 Booklists

Chromebook Program
The Lilydale High School Chromebook program is separated into two phases:
Phase 1 Year 7 to 9 Chromebook Pgm
Phase 2 Year 10 to 12 Chrome/Notebook Pgm
Purchasing a new device in Year 7 and then again in Year 10 ensures students have a reliable and up-to-date device to support their learning.

If you are yet to purchase the 2025 edition of the Year Book – Salamander, a limited number of copies are still available for $25 at the school office or via the Compass app.
