Spreading Christmas Cheer in Lilydale!

For the past few weeks, the Hands on Learning shed has been a little like Santa’s workshop, with students busily creating and bringing some festive magic to life! Working alongside Ian, Max and Helen from the Lilydale Township Action Group, students have been hard at work giving our existing Christmas decorations a new lease on life. This has included refreshing past Christmas trees, reindeers, snowmen and candles, as well as designing and building brand-new Christmas trees.

Along the way, students have really enjoyed getting to know Ian, Max and Helen, sharing stories and discovering common interests. It’s been a wonderful opportunity to build connections, develop practical skills and work together on something that gives back to our local community.

The decorations will be installed along Lilydale Main Street in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for the students’ creations and the festive cheer they’ll bring to our local streets!

Hot off the press!!
Printing is just wrapping up on the publication of 23 wonderful short stories by the High Ability writers at the College. Stories are also accompanied by artworks of our talented High Ability artists.

We'll be celebrating with a Book Launch on December 2, and copies will be available at the College from then.

It's been an enriching experience for us all, and we look forward to building on our High Ability Program in 2027.

This week at Mindful Monday lunchtime club, students were encouraged to brainstorm fun school holiday ideas. Students came up with a range of interesting activities, with many planning to spend time with friends, go to the beach and enjoy time off with family.
We hope this list may inspire your family to try something fun over the upcoming summer break!

The Resilience Project.
One of the strategies that we will be using at LHC this year as part of the Resilience Project are GEM chats. GEM chats are brief conversations (typically 2-5 minutes) that encourage us to practice Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness. We would love for our community to also be involved in GEM chats that families can use at home to encourage conversation, reflection and to promote positive wellbeing. This week's GEM chat is...

Our Year 7 Science classes have been working on their chemistry Unit of Learning, learning about the differences between physical and chemical changes. Here is what Max and Joss from 7J learned:

"Today, 7J made home made ice-cream out of caster sugar, milk and vanilla extract. This experiment is so simple that you can make it a home!
The difference between a physical and chemical change is that the physical change is when the shape, size or state changes, whereas the chemical change is when a reaction forms new substances (like a coke and mentos experiment). The ice-cream was a physical change because the shape, size and state changed when creating the ice-cream. When we added the milk, sugar and vanilla extract mixture, once kneaded, the mixture eventually turned hard and turned into delicious ice-cream!"

Hands On Learning – Growing in the Garden!

Our garden projects are continuing to grow! Our potatoes are coming along nicely in their recycled water drum planter, giving students the opportunity to watch their hard work pay off.

Meanwhile, our snap peas are happily climbing up an old recycled bike wheel, making great use of materials that might otherwise have gone to waste!

It’s been wonderful to see our students getting creative in the garden, learning about growing their own food and finding new ways to reuse and repurpose everyday materials. We look forward to cooking with our produce and sharing more updates as our garden continues to grow!

🎶✨ END OF YEAR MUSIC SHOWCASE! ✨🎶

On Thursday 15th October, our Music Department proudly presented the End of Year Music Showcase at the Memo in Healesville!

It was a wonderful celebration of the dedication, talent and creativity of our music students, who took to the stage with confidence and pride after months of rehearsals.

But there’s still one more performance to go! Join us for ‘Munch with the Musos’ on Thursday 3rd December, from 1:10–1:40 pm, in the Marvel undercover area—a fantastic collaboration with our student-run Valleydale Café!

Our silverbeet and rhubarb are thriving in the warm weather! We’ve sold silverbeet to staff and turned our rhubarb into delicious jam and jam drop biscuits — a Kitchen Garden favourite.

We’re also reducing school food waste by turning excess produce into tasty treats like yoghurt flatbread pizza and banana bread muffins.

This term, we’re exploring food production innovations and can’t wait to visit Yarra Ranges Technical School to discover the latest in agricultural technology!
