CELBRATING PASSION AND POTENTIAL: SECONDARY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
Throughout 2026, The Lakes South Morang College’s Secondary Development Programs have provided students with valuable opportunities to explore their passions, develop specialised skills and build confidence beyond the classroom. Through the Athlete, Dance and Artist Development Programs, students have been encouraged to challenge themselves, discover their strengths and develop skills that support their growth both personally and academically. BUILDING STRONGER, MORE CONFIDENT ATHLETES The Athlete Development Program (ADP) has supported students to develop their athletic potential through strength and conditioning, sport-specific training and opportunities to learn more about sporting performance. Alongside physical development, students have strengthened their discipline, goal-setting and commitment to personal improvement. One student reflected, “The Athlete Development Program has really helped me test my abilities in sport and fitness. As someone who is passionate about sports, it has pushed me to perform at my best, provided me with great opportunities, and kept me motivated and committed to achieving my goals.” Another student highlighted the positive impact the program has had on their daily routine, sharing, “The Athlete Development is great. It keeps me in a routine and gives me something to get up to in the morning. It's fun and enjoyable.” These reflections demonstrate how the program helps students stay motivated, build confidence and develop positive habits while pursuing their sporting interests. EXPRESSING CREATIVITY THROUGH DANCE The Dance Development Program has provided students with opportunities to explore movement, creativity and performance in a supportive environment. Through dance, students can develop their technique, coordination and musicality while gaining confidence in their ability to express themselves through movement. The program encourages students to explore new ideas, challenge themselves and continue refining their skills. Dance also provides valuable opportunities for students to collaborate, learn alongside their peers and celebrate their individual progress. By developing perseverance, creativity and self-expression, students can build confidence both on and off the dance floor, while discovering new ways to communicate and connect through performance. APPLICATIONS OPEN FOR 2027 Following a rewarding year of learning and development, The Lakes South Morang College looks forward to continuing its Secondary Development Programs in 2027. The Athlete Development Program will expand to include Year 10 students, offering personalised strength and conditioning, sport-specific training drills, and excursions and incursions that provide insights into professional sporting environments.
