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 New Outdoor Volleyball Space 🏐

Our 2026 Active Schools project is officially up and running, with students loving the new Outdoor Volleyball and 9 Square space! A Staff vs Students match kicked off the fun, and it’s fantastic to see students continuing to use the space to move, play and connect during break times and for active brain breaks during class.

Our Year 10 Physics classes spent a day at Lilydale Flying School, putting their classroom learning into action in a truly hands-on way.

During the visit, students explored the concept of lift, how control surfaces affect flight, and the importance of weight distribution. They then had the exciting opportunity to experience a real flight in a Piper aeroplane over the Yarra Valley, as well as take the controls themselves in a flight simulator. They even flew over LHC!

Students also visited the hangars, where they learned about aeroplane maintenance and viewed a range of aircraft up close.

What an incredible experience for our physics students!

Hands On Learning
Hands on Learning students have created some fantastic, handcrafted toolboxes for Father’s Day!

From planning and measuring to constructing and finishing, students have put their practical skills to work and created something unique to gift to their dads or a special person in their lives. These toolboxes showcase the value of Hands on Learning, developing skills in creativity, problem-solving and accuracy.

Well done to our students on their fantastic work and the skills they have demonstrated throughout the process!

KITCHEN GARDEN
It’s been a busy time in Kitchen Garden. We have made the most of the fresh rhubarb in the garden to make brown sugar rhubarb biscuits, as well as using some frozen oven roasted tomatoes from the summer bounty to make a pasta sauce which was enjoyed with hand-made capunti pasta.
In the garden, the focus has been on enriching garden beds for planting when spring arrives, as well as starting to germinate seeds in the greenhouse to have them ready to go at planting time.
