The Lakes South Morang College - Issue 09

As part of the Disability Inclusion profile meetings, previously Program for Students with Disabilities applications, the school, and families, are required to provide evidence of substantial or extensive adjustments being made to support students across 31 key areas (shown in the table below). By prioritising Disability Inclusion at The Lakes, we are committed to creating an inclusive and supportive environment where every student can thrive.

WELLBEING: HOW WAS YOUR DAY? Have you ever asked your young person how their day was, what they learnt, and, who they played with - only to get a one or two word response? It can be difficult to reconnect with your young person after a long and busy day when minimal information is offered.

Why not try some of the following questions with your young person. This could be done when picking them up from school, around meal times or before bed.

• What made you smile today?

• In what ways were you creative?

At The Lakes South Morang College we are constantly asking children to critically reflect upon their learning, their strengths and their actions. The act of allowing time and space for a child to process the question and formulate an answer is important. Just as important, is our capacity for deep and active listening.

• Did you help get the chance to help anyone today?

• When were you brave today with your learning?

• When did you have to problem - solve today? How did you do it?

• How were you able to show kindness today?

• What would you like to work on tomorrow?
