School staff are also encouraged to pursue leadership opportunities, both within our College and beyond. Over the years, we have committed to building leaders within the education sector. In our 16 - year history, we have seen 17 teaching staff move into either Assistant Principal and/or Principal roles, and 12 teachers into Leading Teacher roles – a true testament to all members of our College community living and breathing our core values. STAFF LEADERSHIP AT THE LAKES The House Captains are getting ready for our Athletics Day and have been running a Junior Primary Sports club. They are continuing to look at ways to engage all students in the yard and build on our positive culture. Our Peer Mediators have begun supporting students in the yard and helping them to work through socialisation behaviours, fair play, being kind and polite and showing our school values. The SRC have hit the ground running with ‘ Zooper Dooper Fridays ’ and a number of fund - raising initiatives to help provide engaging resources for our classrooms. On the Primary Campus, Term 1 has seen us establish our Primary Student Leadership Team, made up of School Captains, House Captains, Peer Mediators and SRC. All students went through a thorough and extensive process to be successfully selected in their student leadership role. We thank all students for their applications and congratulate our team for 2023. Our School Captains have made a smooth transition into running our Primary Assembly and looked at ways to improve our school. They also attended a Q & A forum with other school leaders where they were given a chance to voice their opinions and give an insight into the 6 – 7 transition process.
Hi everyone, our names are Georgina and Harry, and we are your Year 4 SRC students at The Lakes South Morang. This Term we ’ ve had lots of exciting things on. The Year 4’ s have had lots of different sport events this term. We ’ ve started year 4 sport every week, which has been fun to go outside and have a cohort game or sport session. We also had our Primary Cross Country on Friday 17 th March, where we went up to the Secondary Campus and competed against the Year 3 - 6 students. The Lakes will be having our Athletics Day next Wednesday, which everyone is excited about because we get to go to the sports ground on a bus. Both of us were excited to receive our SRC badges at Assembly. We also got to work on a Harmony Day speech which we delivered to the Year 4’ s as well as the Preps. We are excited to see who wins the Easter raffle as well.
YEAR 9 REFLECTION ZAF YEAR 9 SRC
This term started off with a bang! We headed off to ‘ The Island Camp ’ in Cowes, Phillip Island on the second week of Term 1. Over the two nights, we had the time of our lives. We participated in a range of activities such as archery, the giant swing and rock climbing. Later in the term, we also had the opportunity to visit Melbourne Polytechnic to have a trade tester. We participated in activities such as bricklaying, painting and decorating, civil engineering and animal studies. Students got the time to engage in practical and theoretical activities, while also having the opportunity to check out the campus. A few weeks after, the Years 9/10 inter school sport volleyball teams were off to Diamond Valley! The girls team ended up finishing 4 th and the boys went unbeaten to win the tournament. With term 1 ticked off, it ’ s time to look forward to Term 2.
