Junior School

The fundamental aim of Lilydale High School is to foster and balance the intellectual, physical, cultural and social development of its students. The Junior School is unique in that we receive our students from a large variety of feeder schools and consider the transition of students of key importance. In catering for the successful transition of students into and through the Junior School, we are also committed to meeting the needs of students in terms of their social and emotional welfare as well as their academic performance and achievement. Many initiatives are undertaken to support their progress as part of Lilydale High School’s aims and strategic plan.

Absence line
Parents/Guardians are asked to ring the Junior School Absence Line between 8.30am and 9.30am when a student is absent from school and advise the student name, form group and reason for absence (illness, holiday, family reasons etc).

The school should also be advised if a student is expected to be absent for more than two days.

Late arrivals
Students are expected to be punctual for the start of school (form assembly 8.40am) and each lesson. A student who is late for school must sign the latecomer’s book in the Junior School Office and provide a satisfactory written note of explanation. A lunchtime detention will be given if such a note is not provided.
