The Lakes South Morang College - Issue 6

As the Acting Principal, I took on the role as the organiser of the important School Review with enthusiasm. I believed that the outcomes from this detailed and consuming process would form a wonderful springboard for the future plans of the college. I was able to engage a large component of our school community - students, parents/carers, teachers and administrative staff, principals from other schools as challenge partners, and educational leaders from the region to provide honest, relevant and effective feedback My professional approach, extensive knowledge of DET processes and policy, ability to bring a community together to address a common purpose and meticulous level of organisation was evident through this process. I believe the work that I started on the 5 - point school improvement agenda was affirmed in the outcome of the School Review. As a result, my application for the role of the College Principal is on the following:
