The Lakes South Morang College Newsletter PRIMARY CAMPUS REPORT

Term 1 has provided a highly productive and purposeful start to the year across our Primary Campus. Students have settled well into their classrooms, with consistent routines and expectations now firmly established. This strong foundation has enabled teachers to create calm, structured and engaging learning environments where students feel supported and ready to learn. LEARNING ON PRIMARY IN TERM 2 As we move into Term 2, our focus continues to build on this strong start. Teaching and learning programs remain carefully tailored to meet the needs of every student, drawing on the comprehensive assessment practices and student data gathered throughout Term 1. This ensures that classroom programs are aligned with both individual learning needs and the Victorian Curriculum, supporting continued growth for all students. A key development in Term 2 will be the implementation of targeted literacy intervention programs across Years Prep to 4. These programs are designed to provide additional, focused support for students requiring further development in key literacy skills, reinforcing our commitment to ensuring every student makes meaningful progress. Numeracy will also remain a major focus throughout Term 2. Teachers will continue their professional learning to strengthen consistency and refine high-quality numeracy instruction, supported by our leadership team and external experts. This work is grounded in evidence-based practices that promote deep understanding, problem solving and effective use of data to inform teaching. In classrooms, students will continue to benefit from clear learning intentions, explicit teaching and opportunities to apply their knowledge in a variety of contexts. Ongoing use of formative assessment will allow teachers to closely monitor progress and adjust instruction to meet student needs in real time. TERM 2 EVENTS Alongside our learning programs, Term 2 will also include a number of important community events. We look forward to our Mother’s Day Stall on Wednesday 6th May, followed by our Mother’s Day Breakfast on Monday 11th May. Later in the term, families are warmly invited to attend our Education Week Open Morning on Thursday 21st May, providing an opportunity to see learning in action across the school. We remain committed to maintaining supportive, well-organised learning environments that maximise engagement and ensure all students can access the curriculum. With strong routines in place and a clear focus on continuous improvement, Term 2 promises to be another positive and productive period for our Primary Campus.
