Year 7 News
Welcome back to Semester 2. We hope you had a great holiday and are now looking forward to Term 3!
We kicked the semester off with acknowledging the academic success that many students achieved during their first semester at Lilydale High School with an Awards Assembly on Thursday 20 July. The entire Year 7 team would like to congratulate all those who have achieved varying levels of success throughout Semester 1.
A friendly reminder that there is plenty of time in Semester 2, where students can build on their success and keep striving forward whilst moving towards the end of the year.
The Lilydale High School Athletics Carnival is happening on Thursday 3 August. For Year 7 students, this is a compulsory event. To sign-up for an event, students must see their PE teacher or Mr Hager who is located in Staffroom 4 on the oval.
A reminder, the event must be paid for and permission given for students to attend on the day. A link to this can be found on Compass.
Welcome back everyone, and let's all have a fantastic Semester 2.
