Lilydale High School is a co-educational government secondary school located in Lilydale, Victoria. As of 2009[update], the school includes science, media, technology and multi-purpose learning areas.[citation needed]
Lilydale High School was founded in 1919, at which stage it was housed in a single building not located on the current school grounds. In the May 2006 Victoria state budget, A$5.65 million had been allocated to the school for the completion of construction at the school, consisting of 15 new buildings and facilities to be completed between 2006 and 2007.[3]
Leon Bishop commenced as the school's Principal in 2006 after the retirement in 2005 of the previous school's Principal of 18 years, John Benison.[4]
In 2019, the school's Steam (STEM) coordinator, Tony Vallance, won the Australian Teacher of the Year award in the Australian Education Awards.[5]
