ATTENDANCE

GOAL SETTING

Improving student attendance remains a priority. Staff have been working closely with the College Attendance Officer to identify and respond to any patterns that may impact student engagement. With a refined and centralised process now in place, we are better equipped to monitor and support students more effectively and efficiently.

A whole - College approach to student goal setting has now been firmly embedded across both Primary and Secondary campuses. Through regular classroom activities and dedicated time for reflection and review, students are gaining clarity and ownership of their learning journey. Families are also playing an increasingly important role in this process, helping to reinforce learning goals at home. This structured approach empowers students to set meaningful goals, monitor their progress, and take an active role in their academic growth. Learning goals are now more visible and are regularly used in conversations around effort, progress, and achievement. As a result, students are more engaged, motivated, and purposeful in their learning.

STUDENT LEADERSHIP

Student voice and leadership continue to play a vital role in shaping life at The Lakes South Morang College. Across both campuses, our student leaders have been actively involved in making a positive impact. The Student Representative Council (SRC) has led a range of successful fundraising initiatives, strengthening our sense of community and social responsibility. Our Primary and Secondary School Captains have facilitated assemblies, presented to School Council, and held ongoing discussions with College leadership about ways to further enhance our learning environment. House Captains demonstrated outstanding leadership during our recent Athletics Day, coordinating their teams and fostering school spirit. In addition, our Art Leaders, Peer Mediators, STEM Leaders, and other leadership representatives have continued to support student passions, encourage positive behaviours, and promote inclusivity across all year levels. We are incredibly proud of our student leaders—and all students—who demonstrate leadership and initiative each day, helping to create a vibrant and supportive College experience for everyone.

LOOKING AHEAD

As we head into the second half of the year, we are encouraged by the strong and measurable progress across the College. Programs such as The Resilience Project, structured goal setting, and the continued collaboration between staff are making a real difference. With a shared focus on consistency, reflection, and continuous improvement, we look forward to building on this momentum to further support student success and wellbeing.
