In Geography, Year 2 students have been learning about how people are connected to places.
We read 'Sea Country,' by Aunty Patsy Cameron and illustrated by Lisa Kennedy. This story is set on Flinders Island.
We painted pictures and wrote about the ways that Aboriginal people are connected with this special place.
The Year 9 Catering students prepared, fruit platters, fresh sandwiches, choc chip cookies, caramel slice and fresh made sausage rolls. This was to cater for the Year 10 Beacon Foundation Day. With great assistance from Ms Naning the kitchen assistant.
The 5-6 students have been busy preparing the garden for winter and having regular visits to the school farm patting the cattle and watching the VET students work with the cattle.
On Wednesday, 28May, we took 36 runners from Years 3 to 6 to Beaconsfield Primary School for the TPSSA Cross Country Carnival. It was a cool, but sunny day which proved perfect for running. We had some great results, with 12 runners placing in the top 10, and have been invited to the Tasmanian All School Cross Country at Symmons Plains, on Tuesday, 17June. A special mention to Flynn and Fletcher who finished first in their races, Mackenzie who finished second and Eriana, who placed third.
Newstead College is excited to welcome Year 10 students and their families to our upcoming Family Information Evenings in June and September. These events provide an opportunity to explore our campus and learn more about our courses, programs, culture and student support services.

High School – Student of the Week
Every week, all staff, Student Leaders and the wider community have the opportunity to nominate a high school student as a ‘Lilydale Legend’. These nominations acknowledge when another person has noticed the student demonstrating our school values of being safe, respectful and learning. If a student is nominated by multiple people their name will appear twice. Lilydale Legends for the week will get recognised in our high school assembly and receive a certificate. Congratulations to the Lilydale Legends for Week 5 and 6 - Term 2.

The committee is required to hold a minimum of four meetings a year (one meeting per school term) and we meet on the 1st/2nd Monday of the nominated month.
