The Lakes South Morang College Special Edition PRINCIPAL VISION
THE VISION HAS BEGUN! BY BILL PANAS
Initiatives implemented in the role of Acting School Principal @ The Lakes South Morang College in 2022 In 2022, with the support of the leadership team, I introduced a clear narrative for change underpinned by open and transparent communication. This became evident to the our students and the college community through regular Principal Newsletters (written and video) to families, presentations at college assemblies and key events including information nights, transition meetings and special ceremonies like the Awards Night, in School Council organisation of meetings, Agendas and formal Principal Reports, through formal accountability reporting such as the Annual Report, School Performance Report and Census. Staff received weekly Principal in depth emails throughout the year covering all facets of school operations and the consultative committee was successfully used as the vehicle to address industrial matters and issues pertaining to employment. Feedback was always carefully prepared and researched, on time and accurate. The changes I implemented to Workforce Planning were extremely well received by staff who have appreciated and heavily endorse our commitment to achieve the best possible outcomes for student resourcing and programs. I believe I have made an immediate impact with the improvement agenda that introduced focusing on academic rigour, high expectation, school pride and a positive climate for change in our community.
