The Lakes South Morang College - Issue 19

The Lakes South Morang College Newsletter PRINCIPAL REPORT

of ‘ building connections ’ would have to be our greatest success or win. Our school concert was simply spectacular in every way, bringing our whole College together. This event you could say, even trumped our 100 days of Prep celebrations, our 3/4 and 5/6 Camps or our Year 1 dinner or Year 2 sleepovers that have happened over the year. I will let the students decide on that. These experiences have enriched our curriculum, fostered teamwork, leadership, and our students ’ social skills. It is heartwarming to witness their growth beyond academics. Another highlight this year has been our ever - improving NAPLAN data in Years 3 and 5. Yes, it is a snapshot of a student ’ s ability on a given day but especially across literacy, this is something that our students continue to have great success in. Our Attitudes to School data which is statewide data continues to be strong compared to like schools and network schools across Victoria. This means that our students love coming to school, feel safe at school and have a connection at school. This is something that l am proud of. These 2 data sets continue to show the strong partnership between our school, our students, and our parents/cares. Thank you for the trust and support you give to your children and the school in turn. 2023 has also brought with it several facility improvements throughout our school. New carpets throughout the learning streets and classrooms, new toilets in the Prep/1 space, continuation of landscaping improvements throughout the front of our school to build a sense of pride and belonging - just to name a few. These improvements will continue throughout 2024 with more planned. We want all our families to love your school and be proud of it. This does not aways mean we get everything right, but we work hard to support our families through providing the best education and facilities available. Thank you and a short farewell to our Year 6 students who are moving onto our Secondary Campus or other educational setting in 2024. We congratulate you on your effort, connection, and sense of enjoyment in your learning. We look forward to seeing you in 2024 as Year 7s. To our parents on School Council, thank you. The support and work you have done across the year has been much appreciated. The organisation of the Father ’ s Day Breakfast, Mother ’ s Day stalls and hours spent at School Council to make our college a better place continues to be much appreciated by school leadership.

Thank you for all of your support.
