LEADERSHIP AT THE LAKES
SECONDARY HIGHLIGHTS
The Lakes South Morang College is committed to supporting students with pathways that allow for them to become community and professional leaders in their chosen fields, both now and in the future. Student voice, agency and leadership at The Lakes creates a unique opportunity for students to amplify their educational experience. This is achieved through a relentless drive and focus on the creation of: collaborative conditions that encourage leadership; leading by example through actively demonstrating the school values; and acting in ways that embrace authenticity, responsibility, integrity and service. The college firmly believes that it is these conditions and dispositions that develop the leaders of the future. Decision making across the college is a collaborative process. Distributive and democratic mechanisms are employed to involve students through both formal and informal leadership and feedback opportunities, supported by an Amplify leader on each campus.
The Secondary Student Leadership Team have had quite a busy Term. Our School Captains started the year by running both the Primary and Secondary start of year assemblies. The School Captains also ran a detailed application and interview process for all the Secondary Student Leadership positions in our college, including the Peer Support Leaders and Secondary House Captains. Our Year 12 Leaders and Year 10 Peer Support team attended the Secondary Youth Leaders Conference in February and heard from a number of inspiring young leaders in the community. A number of our female leaders represented our college at International Women ’ s Day events, some of our leaders attended a Luncheon hosted by the Hon. Lily D ’ Ambrosio at Parliament House while others attended a breakfast with student leaders and staff from a number of secondary schools in the northern region.
At The Lakes, Leadership is one of our four core values.
To be a Leader within our college we encourage learners to:
•
strive for personal best in learning, effort, attitudes and behaviours.
•
believe in themselves so they can be bold and brave with their learning, seek opportunities to learn and grow, take risks and try new things.
For the remainder of Term 1 we look forward to our Peer Support Team mentoring Year 7 students, our House Leaders organising chants, posters and events for our 1 st Whole School Athletics Carnival in a number of years and we look forward to our Primary and Secondary SRC teams meeting together to plan out events for the remainder of the year.
On each campus, we have School Captains, House Captains, Cultural Leaders, Peer Support Leaders, student members of the Student Representative Councils and student members of our College Council.
