THE KEY PRIORITY AREAS OF FOCUS THIS SEMESTER HAVE BEEN:
WHY DISABILITY INCLUSION MATTERS
1.
Promotes Equity: Disability inclusion ensures that all students have the same opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed. It is a crucial step towards achieving educational equity. Builds Empathy and Understanding: Inclusive environments help all students develop empathy and understanding towards their peers with disabilities. This fosters a more compassionate and supportive school community. Enhances Learning for All: Inclusive teaching practices benefit all students, not just those with disabilities. Diverse classrooms encourage different perspectives and innovative problem - solving.
1.
Enhanced Individual Education Plans (IEPs): We are dedicated to improving and developing IEPs that accurately reflect each student's unique needs and the supporting strategies required for their success. Integration with Compass: We have successfully rolled out IEPs onto Compass, ensuring that these essential documents are easily accessible and manageable. Standardised Recording Processes: The College has implemented whole - school recording processes to accurately track and document student levels of adjustment, enhancing our ability to provide tailored support. Strengths - Based Student Support Group Meetings: We have focused on running meaningful, strengths - based Student Support Group meetings involving students and their parents/carers. These meetings are designed to celebrate each student's strengths and collaboratively plan for their success.

STUDENT PERSPECTIVE
YEAR 5 REFLECTION TADANA & KATELYN YEAR 5 SRC
This term has been so exciting and full of fun learning experiences! One of my favourite highlights was our excursion to the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV). As part of our Primary Arts curriculum in Year 5, we ’ ve been learning how to express ourselves using different art forms. At the NGV, we saw so many amazing artworks and creative displays. It was really inspiring to see how artists use colours, shapes, and different materials to share their ideas and stories. We got lots of ideas for our own artwork that we're working on for the upcoming Primary Art Show on Wednesday 17 th September. Another fun moment was Book Week Dress - Up Day on Thursday 14th August. Everyone came in such cool costumes, it was so funny seeing so many Oompa Loompas walking around! Mr Abney - Hastings dressed as Willy Wonka and did his famous flip, which made everyone laugh. Even the teachers joined in with amazing outfits!
On Wednesday 10th September, the whole Year 5 cohort is going to Preston Market. This links to our Geography Inquiry unit where we ’ re learning about different world regions like Europe, Asia, and North America. We ’ re exploring their landscapes, traditions, foods, and how they ’ re connected to us in Australia. The Preston Market is a multicultural place, and we ’ ll get to see and taste things from all over the world. We ’ re excited to explore the stalls and discover new things about different cultures. This term has helped us see how art, culture, and global connections are all around us, in galleries, costumes, markets, and more!

Highlights of 2025 so far:
What we ’ re looking forward to:
•
•
One of the biggest achievements this year was putting together our school production, which gave so many of us a chance to shine both on and off stage. The Teachers vs Students basketball game wasn ’ t just fun to watch - it also helped raise over $1000 for Cancer Council ’ s Daffodil Day, proving how much our school can do when everyone gets behind a cause. For drama, they had the opportunity to see Yong live. It was a powerful experience and gave students fresh ideas to bring back into their own performance and analyse for upcoming SAC The new ping pong tables have quickly turned into the heart of recess breaks - they ’ re always busy, and they ’ ve brought a whole new energy to the schoolyard
There ’ s talk of adding futsal to interschool sports, and a lot of us are excited about the chance to try something new and competitive. To end the year, we ’ re hoping for another big event - maybe a sleepover at school or even a trip to Bounce - something to celebrate together as a cohort. Biology students are going on a zoo excursion, where they ’ ll get to see animal adaptations and ecosystems up close instead of just in a textbook, giving them data for their upcoming SAC. Food Studies might be heading to William Angliss, giving students a real taste of what it ’ s like to cook in a professional setting.

SCHOOL COUNCIL REPORT
AMANDA FARRELLY SCHOOL COUNCIL PRESIDENT
Hello all,
To begin, thank you to our incredible parent/carer community for your support of our school throughout this term. It ’ s been a particularly full and fast - paced few weeks, with numerous events packed into a short timeframe. The time, energy, and enthusiasm that families have contributed have not gone unnoticed and are appreciated. A huge congratulations to the talented cast and crew behind our Performing Arts production of Freaky Friday, held at PRACC on 18 & 19 August. The performances were a fantastic showcase of creativity, teamwork, and talent — and it was wonderful to see our students shine on stage! It was a very well - done production, and everyone involved should be incredibly proud of themselves. Thank you to families who attended the Year 5 & 6 laptop information session on 20 August. The next info session will be held in person in the staff room on the afternoon of September 17 (Learner Review Meeting Day). JB Hi - Fi and Edunet reps will be attending to answer queries. Mr Brooke, Mr McLean, and Mr Marsh have been working hard to ensure the transition from iPads to laptops is as smooth as possible for families. Lastly, facility upgrades are continuing throughout the school. Upgrades to the first aid room; new computer lab; and exam centre on Secondary are all underway; and the installation of smart device screens in the Year 4 – 6 classrooms on Primary is also imminent. The introduction of these devices this year for Prep – Year 3 have been extremely successful and valuable, and it will be great to now have the whole campus fitted out with them. Planning for the kindergarten build on Primary is also progressing, with an anticipated completion date still to be next year. The Scouts Hall will relocate to Secondary in the coming weeks in preparation for this.
School Council Meeting – 26 August 2025
At School Council ’ s most recent meeting on 26 August, we:
•
Heard from our Primary School Captains, who shared updates on all the happenings across the Primary Campus. Council was pleased to endorse their request for a donation to subsidise the cost of the Year 6 Graduation, ensuring participating is cheaper for students to take part in this special milestone. They also presented a creative proposal from the SRC for a Halloween - themed fundraising event, planned for late October — a fun initiative we ’ re looking forward to supporting! Were presented with the school ’ s impressive 2025 NAPLAN results by Mr McLean. The results across both campuses and all year levels continually improve each year, but the results coming from Year 3 and Year 5 are simply outstanding and it will be exciting to watch how these cohorts track into Secondary in the future. Heard from our Council student rep, Taylor V, on the results of Secondary ’ s recent Discovery Interviews. In response to low Secondary students ’ Attitudes to School Survey results, at our last meeting in June, Council requested some more feedback and qualitative data to understand what was driving lower - than - expected results. Secondary Captains and SRC reps asked a series of detailed, targeted questions to their peers to identify any areas of improvement. The results will be shared with Leadership to create a plan to address these areas going forward.

Endorsed a small increase in fees for elective subjects from Year 9 – VCE due to ongoing external costs.
Parent Opinion Survey
A huge thank you to parents/carers who have completed the Department of Education ’ s Parent Opinion Survey. If you haven ’ t already, our Leadership team would be incredibly grateful if you could complete it please. Last year we had a fantastic response, where traditionally the response has always been very low. A low response doesn ’ t really provide meaningful data and an accurate snapshot, so it is important to get as many as we can. The link to the survey can be found in your notifications in Compass.
Connect with School Council
We are always keen to hear from our families and value your input in shaping school decisions. Whether you have a question, an idea, a concern, or a topic you'd like raised at our next Council meeting — or any other support — please don ’ t hesitate to reach out. You can contact me directly at amanda.farrelly@education.vic.gov.au or connect with any of our parent reps: Jenny Archibald (Primary); Josie Benfari (Secondary); Kathryn Lieschke (Primary); Veronica Marsh (Primary & Secondary); Helen Skendaris (Secondary); Anna - Lisa Tewma (Secondary); and Grant Voss (Primary). Council meets twice per term on a Tuesday at 5:30pm and visitors and observers are always welcome!
Fundraising
The Fundraising Subcommittee have been busy putting together next Monday ’ s Father ’ s Day & Special Persons Breakfast. Families and carers from both campuses are very welcome! One of our pillar events, it is a great opportunity to bring our school community together and connect. After the Breakfast, the team will then focus its attention on getting organised for the 2026 Welcome BBQ. If anyone has any suggestions for the BBQ, we would love to hear. A huge shoutout too to families and staff who purchased pies in the recent Pie Drive – the feedback we have received on the quality of the products and the ease of the process has all been extremely positive.
Enjoy the rest of Term 3.

The Lakes South Morang College Newsletter CURRICULUM
WHOLE-SCHOOL PRODUCTION
On the 18 th and 19 th of August, our school community was treated to an incredible production of Freaky Friday . From start to finish, the show was a celebration of student talent, creativity, and teamwork. The onstage cast delivered outstanding performances, bringing energy, humour, and heart to every scene. Behind the curtain, our backstage crew worked tirelessly to ensure smooth transitions and seamless production, while the talented band set the mood with their exceptional live music. A special highlight this year was the involvement of our Year 5 and 6 students from the Primary Campus, who added wonderful enthusiasm and charm to the show. Productions like this are only possible with the dedication of our staff, the encouragement of families, and the support of our wider school community. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed. We are so proud of what our students have achieved.

WORKING TOGETHER FOR A GOOD CAUSE!
VCE Vocational Major Personal Development Skills (PDS) takes an active approach to personal development, self - realisation and citizenship by exploring interrelationships between individuals and communities. PDS focuses on health, wellbeing, community engagement and social sciences, and provides a framework through which students seek to understand and optimise their potential as individuals and as members of their community. PDS explores concepts of effective leadership, self - management, project planning and teamwork to support students to engage in their work, community and personal environments. As a practical demonstration of these skills students are required to engage in a variety of activities including fundraising for an identified, worthwhile cause. This year the Year 12 class identified the Cancer Council and it ’ s Daffodil Day fundraiser as their project. Thursday 21 ST August was Daffodil Day and the Secondary Campus was alive with anticipation at the inaugural ‘ Daffodil Darby ’ where the highly skilled teachers team were set to take on an energetic and hungry Senior Students Team. The gym was packed with students who hung on every play as the teachers took an early lead only to be beaten at the buzzer. The students were thrilled to be presented with the winners trophy and Best on Court were awarded with medals. The Year 12 PDS class would like to thank every student, teacher and community member who has supported our fundraising efforts. At the time of writing we had raised over $1,200 towards this vital cause. Stay tuned for another fundraiser before the end of the year!!! A massive shout out to key sponsor Bakers Delight Plenty Valley for their amazing delicacies that raised a huge amount from teachers at our ‘ PD and Tea ’ afternoon.
The Year 12 PDS Students completed a range of reflections on the process. Their feedback included: ‘ Through this initiative, we strengthened our sense of community by working together toward a common goal. We not only built connections and support but also broke the fundraising record, showing how communities can thrive when everyone contributes. ’ ‘ Through this initiative, I feel we accomplished much more than just raising money. We built a sense of community by uniting students and teachers in a fun and positive way, while also supporting the important cause of cancer research through Daffodil Day. Communities have needs beyond just learning; they also need connection, shared experiences, and a sense of belonging. Our event provided an opportunity for people to come together, laugh, cheer, and support something bigger than ourselves. This showed the strength of our school community when everyone works towards a common purpose. ’ ‘ Through this initiative, we raised $1,250 for cancer research and got people involved in doing something good together. Even small things, like wearing yellow, helped raise awareness. It showed how our school community can work together to support a cause and meet a shared need. ’

YEAR 5/6 NOTEBOOK PROGRAM - 2026
2026 Is a Transition Year
Students currently using iPads may continue to do so in 2026 if necessary, but please note that they are no longer considered the best tool for learning at this level. Their limitations in software compatibility and keyboard functionality will impact students' ability to engage fully with learning programs. We strongly recommend all students begin using a Windows notebook as soon as possible.
We ’ re writing to inform you of an important change to our technology program for Year 5 and 6 students starting in 2026. After careful consideration and in consultation with the School Council and broader school community, The Lakes South Morang College has made the decision to transition from iPads to Windows touchscreen notebook computers for students in Years 5 and 6. This move aligns our Primary and Secondary learning experiences and brings our technology use in line with most primary schools across Victoria, who have already adopted Windows - based programs. It also ensures our students are better prepared for the digital expectations of Year 7 and beyond .
Timeline
We understand that this may have a significant impact on families. We will be running information sessions in Semester 2. The purpose of these sessions will be to provide details on differences between the existing iPad program and our new notebook program that aligns with our Secondary program. If you have any immediate concerns or questions please contact the front office and they will forward your queries to the technology team at the college.
Why Are We Transitioning to Notebooks?
While iPads have served many learning purposes, they are limited in supporting the broader skills needed in upper primary and secondary education. Windows - based touchscreen notebooks:
