The Lakes South Morang College Newsletter STUDENT AGENCY & ENGAGEMENT
A SPOTLIGHT ON THE LEARNER AGENCY HOUR
At The Lakes South Morang College, fostering a vibrant and engaged learning environment is at the heart of our mission. One of our most exciting initiatives this year has been the introduction of the 'Learner Agency Hour,' a program designed to deepen student engagement and cultivate a strong sense of agency among our young learners. Now, three weeks into the program, the results have been nothing short of transformative.
WHAT IS LEARNER AGENCY HOUR? The Learner Agency Hour is an innovative approach that allows students from our Primary Campus to engage in activities chosen by our dedicated staff. Teachers have designed a diverse range of activities, spanning interests from Performing Arts, Soccer and Yoga through to Mindfulness, Performing Arts and Australian Rules Football. These activities have been targeted at students from Years P - 2 and 3 - 6.
This initiative isn ’ t just about choice; it ’ s about agency. By giving students the power to choose their activities, we are placing the reins of learning in their hands, empowering them to pursue their interests and passions while also stepping outside their comfort zones.
A SUCCESSFUL START Three weeks into the program, the Learner Agency Hour has proven to be a resounding success. The variety of activities offered has sparked excitement and enthusiasm across the school. Students have been seen eagerly participating in activities such as Guided Drawing, Lego - building, and Quizmasters. There ’ s been a palpable buzz of energy as students explore new interests and engage with their peers in meaningful ways.
PROMOTING CROSS - LEVEL COLLABORATION
One of the standout features of the Learner Agency Hour is its ability to foster cross - level collaboration. The program ’ s vertical class structure brings together students from different year levels, encouraging them to work together and share experiences. This interaction not only enhances social skills but also builds a sense of community across the Primary campus.
