Positive Learning
As a PBL (Positive Behaviour Learning) school Lake Illawarra High School rewards students who are respectful, responsible and safe in every setting. PBL promotes positive behaviour in learning.
Thank you, to our parents / guardians who continually support the many initiatives and values we have at Lake Illawarra High School.
Students of Lake Illawarra High School throughout 2018 have displayed many examples of their achievements in a variety of ways through exhibitions and performances both inside and outside the school. These successes are again a reflection of how 21st century learners are influenced by technology and resilience development.
