Wellbeing Fair 2025 – A Celebration of Community, Connection, and Care

On Friday the 10th of October, our school community came together for the Wellbeing Fair, a joyful event dedicated to promoting connection, belonging and healthy living for students, families and staff. The Wellbeing Fair is an important part of our school’s commitment to nurturing the whole child, supporting not only academic growth but also emotional, social and physical wellbeing.

The afternoon was filled with smiles, laughter and meaningful conversations as families explored a range of interactive stalls, workshops and activities. From mindfulness and movement to support services and healthy living displays, the Fair encouraged everyone to pause, connect and celebrate the importance of wellbeing in our everyday lives.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to all our vendors and community partners who generously gave their time and expertise to make this event such a success. Your presence and contribution provided valuable resources and inspiration for our families, helping us continue to strengthen our culture of care and connection.

We also extend our gratitude to the staff, students and volunteers who dedicated their time to this event. Your efforts ensured a welcoming and positive atmosphere where everyone could participate and feel part of something special.

Events like the Wellbeing Fair remind us that wellbeing is a shared journey, one that thrives when we work together as a community. Thank you to everyone who attended, supported and celebrated with us. We look forward to continuing to build on this spirit of connection throughout the remainder of the year. 

We can't wait to bring this back to our Lakeside community in 2026.

Year 11 Wellbeing Day – Growing Together at Lakeside College

Our Year 11 students recently took part in their final Wellbeing Day, rounding off a three-part series that’s been running over the past two years. These days have given students a chance to pause, reflect and focus on their own growth and connections with others – an important part of life at Lakeside College.

The day was led by The Man Cave and The Big Sister Experience, two highly regarded organisations working to support young people. Their workshops encouraged students to think about self-awareness, empathy, respect and leadership in a supportive and engaging way.

The presenters were genuinely excited to be back at Lakeside College. They spoke about how much they enjoy working with our students, seeing their confidence grow and their sense of connection strengthen each time they visit.

The students also raised funds for Australian Lutheran World Service, showing their care and compassion for others in need.

It was a wonderful day of learning, laughter and reflection – and a fitting way to celebrate just how far our Year 11 students have come on their wellbeing journey.
