Secondary Curriculum Handbook

PRINCIPAL ’ S MESSAGE

Welcome to The Lakes South Morang College ’ s Secondary Campus Curriculum Handbook.,

At the heart of our College lie our students, whose journey through learning forms the very core of our mission and purpose.

Our curriculum is meticulously designed to engage, challenge, and ignite a passion for learning. Through collaborative efforts between students and teachers, we foster a culture of learner agency, empowering our learners to take charge of their educational paths and ownership of their progress through an understanding of their performance data. Central to our approach is the belief in personalised learning plans, where each student's unique strengths and aspirations are nurtured and honed. We prioritise differentiation in our work, setting and achieving goals that drive us towards personal and collective excellence in a supportive and secure environment. Our curriculum is not confined to the classroom; it extends to real - life experiences through our comprehensive extra - curricular programs. These opportunities enrich our students' learning journey and prepare them for the complexities of the world beyond academia. We take pride in our small class sizes, a contemporary and robust educational focus, and active involvement of students as leaders and ambassadors. Their voices are instrumental in shaping our educational landscape, ensuring that our programs remain dynamic and relevant. We continuously refine our learning spaces, incorporating real - world scenarios and cutting - edge technologies to enhance learning outcomes. This is supported by experienced teachers who will challenge and excite the inner passions for learning in every student. The college is committed to investments in exponential and applied learning technologies and we work in association with numerous partners who advise on content, skill and knowledge acquisition, and, in school equipment focus needs. Assessment and reporting are integral parts of our educational framework, providing timely feedback and opportunities for reflection and growth. We encourage our students to explore advanced academic pathways, guiding them towards future endeavours in higher education or vocational pursuits. This includes supported participation in Early - Entry VE/VET subjects. Students selecting VCE subjects receive assistance to ensure that subject choices leave as many options as possible open, in terms of tertiary education, further education or future employment opportunities. For prospective students, we extend invitations to school tours, discussions with our leaders, and participation in transition programs. Your enrolment is a privilege we cherish, and we are committed to supporting you in realising your educational and professional aspirations.

Together, let us embark on a journey of discovery, growth, and achievement, shaping a future filled with endless possibilities .
