The Lakes South Morang College Newsletter SCHOOL COUNCIL REPORT
Hello to our Parents and Carers,
Thank you for all of your support this term in what has been a very busy term, filled with many extra - curricular activities. Looking forward, Term 4 looks to be just as busy, with our first group of Year 12 students undergoing their exams, many excursions and year - level activities still to be had, Year 3/4 Camp, Night Under the Stars at Primary and our End of Year Awards to be held off - site for the first time. A big thank you too to parents/carers who have completed the Parent Opinion Survey. The results are absolutely vital when putting together our strategic plan for next year.
At our most recent School Council meeting held last week, we:
• Discussed the school uniform on Secondary, in particular the take up of the white shirt/ formal pants option versus the sport uniform, and items that can be carried from Primary to Secondary. Uniform pieces were left in the PD room on Secondary last week for students to also provide feedback on their preferences. We were also shown samples of a beanie and scarf with the school logo as potential new items. Council reps were interested in having these added to the uniform as optional extras for both campuses. • Moved to commence the tender process for the canteen licence in preparation for the 2023 school year. A big thank you to those that completed our snap survey earlier this week on what currently works well and what isn ’ t working well – we have collaborated your comments and forwarded them on in our first initial meeting with the canteen provider this week. Further feedback is always welcomed so it isn ’ t too late to email me with any concerns or suggestions.
• Approved the 2023 Meet and Greet Day to be held on Monday January 30 for both campuses.
• Approved an amendment to the mobile phone student use policy, specifically students are now unable to use their mobile phones for contactless payments at the Canteen and must use cash or card instead. • Approved the proposal of the Veritas/Innovate/Accelerate Program (VIA) to be extended to run in Years 9 and 10. Currently only running in Years 7 and 8, the VIA program addresses the individual academic needs of high achieving students with progressive, challenging and tailored curriculum.
Our next School Council meeting is on Tuesday 18 October. If students or families have any issue that they would like discussed, we warmly welcome you to email me at amanda.farrelly@education.vic.gov.au
Hope everyone has a safe and relaxing break,
Amanda Farrelly School Council President
