STRATEGIC OVERVIEW
Our College vision and improvement journey are anchored in three interwoven frameworks — FISO 2.0 , the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model (VTLM 2.0) , and our own College Strategic Plan . Together, they define how we design learning, build staff capability, and measure growth across our P–12 community. At The Lakes, we focus on the core elements of FISO 2.0 — Excellence in Teaching and Learning , Positive Climate for Learning , Professional Leadership , and Community Engagement . These guide our decision- making and resource allocation, ensuring every initiative strengthens student outcomes and wellbeing.
The VTLM 2.0 provides the how : it outlines what effective teaching and learning looks like every day in our classrooms. We use it to shape practice through the Practice Principles , Pedagogical Model , and High Impact Teaching Strategies (HITS) — ensuring consistency and quality across all learning areas. Our College Strategic Plan aligns these frameworks to our local context and community. It sets measurable goals for student learning growth, wellbeing, and inclusion, and ensures every team, teacher, and leader contributes to our shared purpose:
“Empowering every learner to thrive, connect, and contribute within and beyond our College community.”
