24.01.2022 Yesterday Year 9 challenged their knowledge on alternative food sources which they had been learning about it class. If they got the answer incorrect they had eat/feel things such a lolly bugs and worms! It looks like it was a fun way to test your learning with Mrs Wells and Ms White.

23.01.2022 Year 10 have some exciting excursions coming up, not to mention Formal. So any year 10 students who have yet to hand their notes in for the Scavenger Hunt/Civic Excursion and the Formal, can they please hand them in as soon as possible to the Front Office. And if anyone is in need of a new note go see Miss Guy.

16.01.2022 Instead of participating in Dance Fest this year, students had the opportunity to be part of the LHS Dance Film Project. Students developed the concept, choreographed, styled and performed their piece Insomnia. Students participated in dance workshops to develop their choreography and worked closely with a professional videographer to bring their ideas to life. The students were inspired by the concept of fear and created a dance to explore the fears of darkness, being trap...ped and loneliness. The film explores how fear seems to exist outside of ourselves but ultimately it is something we create from within. We would like to thanks Ausdance ACT for giving our students to work with the wonderful Jake Kuzma and our videographer Ryan Telfer for working so well with the students during the filming process. Check out their amazing work in the film ‘Insomnia’. See more

04.01.2022 ALUMNI PROFILE: Schae Zarew What have you been up to since graduating? It's been 10 years since I graduated. I spent the first few years unsure of what I wanted to do, which included my time at college, but ended up coming back to something I've always felt passionate about, the Health and Fitness world! Today I own a Powerlifting gym called The Strength Syndicate, manage Women's Strength Collective (WSC), host a podcast under WSC, and coach all of my incredible clients! ... Can you tell us a bit more about your work and the message you're trying to share? My work and passion is centred around empowering people through strength, especially women. I spent much of my childhood battling binge eating and bulimia, and after a short-time doing bodybuilding, which only brought my struggles to the surface again, my world changed when I found powerlifting. I spent the next years learning to appreciate my body for what it is able to do as opposed to what it looks like, and shifted from being hyper-focused on aesthetic goals. I founded WSC last year to empower and educate women about their body, to encourage this shift for them too. Whilst my work and coaching has developed over the years, my message has always remained the same: strength training and powerlifting can be the greatest catalyst for change when it comes to our bodies and minds. How did LHS help you get to where you are today? I had some really kickass teachers at school that helped shape where I am today. The school is nothing without the people in it, and to be able to call high school the best schooling period in my life is a reflection on those who were there guiding it. What's your advice to LHS students? Try not to get too caught up in figuring out what you want to do right now, let it develop as you grow as a person. I hated the pressure of having to know my career path, when I hardly knew what I wanted for breakfast! It is NOT normal to have it all figured out. Try different things, learn from your experiences, and never be afraid to do a 180 sometimes! And for young women out there, I’m going to remind you that your body is an INSTRUMENT, not an ornament.

04.01.2022 Some pictures from Food and Hospitality today. Students had fun making some tasty production line pizzas in class.

04.01.2022 .. time to relax and unwind. Happy holidays to all. We will see you back for Term 4 on Monday 12th October

If you cannot locate the unique survey link sent to you on Monday 10 August (your child’s name and school will be in the first line of the email) or did not receive one, please use ...this link to take the survey: https://tinyurl.com/y6y8owmj .
