Congratulations to Harrison Hughes

We would like to let our school community know that Mr Harrison Hughes has been appointed as Advanced Skills Teacher (AST) at Winnaleah District School starting in Term 2.  This is a great professional opportunity for Harrison, and we wish him every success as he takes on his new role.

We will be working to appoint a replacement for Harrison and will update families once arrangements for Term 2 are confirmed.

Thank you for your ongoing support as our staffing continues to change.

Isaiah Wise Commencing his Prac Placement

Commencing from next week Mr Wise will be completing his final teaching placement as part of his training.  We are fortunate his placement is at Lilydale District School commencing on 19th May for six weeks.  During this time, Mrs Breadmore will be taking over the teaching of his class Monday to Wednesday.

Mrs Breadmore is an experienced teacher, and I am confident the students will continue to learn and thrive under her care.

I would like to acknowledge Mr Wise’s outstanding work on the Year 3-4A  and thank him for his ongoing commitment to Lilydale District School.

Mother’s Day Thankyou

We were thrilled to welcome around 135 mums, grandmothers, nans and special guests to our Mother’s Day Activity Day last Thursday.  The school was buzzing with laughter, creativity and fun as families joined in a variety of activities together.

From craft stations and games to shared stories and hand massages, it was wonderful to see everyone connecting and celebrating the special women in our students’ lives.  Events like this really demonstrate the strength of our school community.

A big thank you to our student leaders and staff, particularly Mrs Page who helped make the day run smoothly – and everyone who came along and made the day successful.

At Lilydale, we are our best, when we are Safe, Respectful and Learning and Mother’s Day was a prefect example of this in action.

Warm Regards,

Karen Hay
