The Lakes South Morang College Newsletter PRINCIPAL REPORT
As adults, it is essential that our behaviour remains calm and controlled, especially when we feel under pressure or adversity, and that we always support our children by collaborating with staff harnessing a problem - solving mindset. This is the consistent message that is communicated to our school staff and headlines our staff protocols. Any visitor on either Campus will feel this sense of calmness which enables our students and staff to feel safe in their school environment. This is enhanced with our security upgrades, CCTV, alarms and new perimeter fences. We thank all of our families for their support on this matter. Over the holidays our maintenance teams have been very busy. On the Primary Campus, partitions have been completed in the Year 1 area, which will also serve as a lovely and needed seminar/professional development room. An additional interview room alongside the Prep classroom has also been prepared for parent/carer meetings and child health service providers. All classrooms on the Primary Campus have new air - conditioners/heating units in time for the summer period, which will be welcomed by all. Partitions have also been completed to the Health/PE theory room on the Secondary Campus and the ramp works have continued. I can report that we have had no break - ins or any reported vandalism during the holidays. Thank you to the families who live adjacent to our College for their watch and act approach during the breaks. The grounds across the College have been cleared and mowed so that our lovely school environment is ready for our students, staff and our families keeping our strong focus on school pride. There are numerous key dates and events/activities that will impact your child this Term.
