Lilydale High School invites prospective families and students to our annual ‘Grade 6 Information Evening’ on Thursday 18 April at 6:30 pm.

The evening is a wonderful opportunity to showcase our school and what we have to offer students in 2025 and beyond!

ABOUT

VCE Theatre Studies presents ‘Puffs: Or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic’.

Puffs is the story of an everyday kid who suddenly discovers he is a wizard and spends seven years in a wizarding school in England. Sound familiar? This may not be the story you expect. When this boy meets the Sorting Hat, he’s designated a ‘Puff’…

Puffs takes the Harry Potter story we know and love but tells it through the lens of all those oddball kids in Hufflepuff house, the ones who seem very forgotten in the original stories. So, join Wayne, Oliver and Megan as they and the other ‘Puffs’ do their best to help fight ‘You Know Who’ and not come last in the House Cup… again.

VCE Theatre Studies students are responsible for all aspects of this production, from acting to direction to design. This is part of their Unit 1 and 3 studies.
