Welcome

Hello, and welcome to the 2025 school year at Lilydale District School. My name is Karen Hay, and I am excited to join the community as your new Principal.

With a deep passion for education, my focus is on fostering a positive, inclusive and engaging environment where every student can develop to their fullest potential.

At Lilydale we are committed to developing resilient, self-directed learners who are creative problem solvers and flexible thinkers. We are an innovative school, passionate about lifelong learning. Our school community is aspirational, working in partnership to nurture successful and respectful members of society.

I look forward to working with our staff, families and students to build on the school’s strengths and create new opportunities for success.

The school is divided into 2 Sectors:

Kindergarten - Year 6

Year 7 - 12

Each has a Sector Leader who is a member of the Leadership Team. Primary students access our specialist secondary facilities: mini-modules, for subjects like Food & Fibre, Art, Drama, Music and Applied Technology and Design (ATD). All secondary students select optional subjects in addition to their core subjects.

Community partnerships are actively sought by the school to support extensive learning opportunities for our students and also to play our part in supporting our community.
