Policy—http://www.thelakes.edu.au/uploads/8/3/9/0/83901006/personal_property_policy_2022.pdf

The Lakes understands that students may sometimes like to bring items of personal property to school. The Department of Education and Training does not have insurance for personal property of staff, students and visitors. The Lakes does not take responsibility for items of personal property that are lost, stolen or damaged at school or during school activities. Damage to personal property brought to school is the responsibility of the owner of that property. The Lakes South Morang College encourages students not to bring items of value to school, or to obtain appropriate insurance for such items. If students bring items of value to school, they should be handed to school administration for secure storage at the office until the end of the day, when the items may be collected by the student and/or parent/carer.

Policies are available to all families via the the Sentral Portal (under Resources) or via our website http://www.thelakes.edu.au/policies -- reports.html

RESPECTFUL RELATIONSHIPS

WELLBEING

Across the second semester, all teaching and leadership staff will be undergoing Respectful Relationships professional learning, upskilling us and preparing for its gradual introduction into our programs from Prep – Year 12.

Respectful Relationships education is a DET initiative and core component of the Victorian Curriculum from Foundation to Year 12. The Respectful Relationships program supports schools and early childhood settings to promote and model respect, positive attitudes and behaviours across the whole school community. It teaches our children how to build healthy relationships, resilience and confidence.

Schools involved in the Respectful Relationships initiative are building a culture of respect and gender equality, by looking at their practices and policies to drive meaningful change.
