A big thank you to our Grade 5/6 students, who continue to show great leadership and enthusiasm whilst assisting with these sessions.

Interschool Sport

In preparation for our Winter Sports Round Robin Day, we have been very fortunate to have Year 9 students from Lilydale High running extra lunchtime training sessions with our teams, as part of their Community Sport subject.

The Sports Day will be held on Friday 10th June. As soon as venues are confirmed, all information will be posted on Compass. In order to have all of our 8 teams participate, we will require helpers on this day. Please contact me via Compass or email (melanie.layton@education.vic.gov.au) if you have a current Working With Children Check are able to help with your child’s team.
