FROM THE PRINCIPAL

TERM 1

2018 School Council

As the number of nominations equalled the number of vacancies, the following parents are thereby declared elected to School Council:

  • Katrina Franklin
  • Rachel Pullen
  • Janelle Pollock

Therefore, a School Council election is NOT required.

Attendance

Regular attendance is valued at Lilydale High School. Students who attend regularly give themselves the best opportunity to achieve academically by engaging fully in their learning and foster and maintain friendships. 

 

I ask all parents/guardians to encourage regular attendance for your child/children to ensure every chance for success.

Mobile Phone Policy

Over the years we have maintained the 'Mobile Phone Policy' that bans the use of phones whilst at school. Our focus is on learning and social interactions without the use of phones.

 

In the case of emergencies, staff must be able to discharge their duty of care according to department guidelines i.e;

 

'Whilst students are at school they are in the care of school staff, when there is an issue or emergency at school it is incumbent upon staff to be able to deal with it.'.

 

This is sometimes difficult when students directly contact parents rather than speaking with Co-ordinators who are always happy to call parents for the student concerned.

 

Please don’t encourage your child to contact you during school hours – any student who is in need of assistance for any reason, must report to the Sub School Offices. In the case of medical issues, students must report to Sick Bay.

 

Thank you for your assistance with this in advance.
