Wendy Powson – Principal

From the Principal

Welcome to the Lilydale High School website. I hope this website provides you with all the information that you may need in both a timely and accessible manner. Lilydale High School is a wonderful place to learn. It has a long history of service to the local community and has on offer a wide and varied academic program and extensive extra-curricular activities/programs on offer for all of our students.

Students are encouraged to participate in a broad range of activities to assist in developing their abilities and skills and to work with others in an atmosphere of teamwork and cooperation.

The well-known adage ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ forms the basis of our belief that it ‘takes a village to educate a child’. With this in mind, we work closely with students, parents/carers, and staff to provide every opportunity for success for all the young people who have been placed in our care.

Principal Team

We believe that a strong leadership team improves the educational outcomes of our students. Our leaders share a common purpose based on our school’s vision and values, working together to create an environment of learning, engagement, shared responsibility and safety.
