Term four is here and is already in full swing with a number of things happening around the college which has been fantastic to see. Our 60th anniversary celebrations were held the past weekend. It was fantastic to see the schools history on full display to the community who turned out to support the day. Our Spring Concert was held on the 10th of October. Performances ranged from woodwind, to violin, to drums, vocals and bands. It was a wonderful night of celebration of our student accomplishments and the progress of the music program. Congratulations to Ms Heather Allan and the instrumental music staff for putting on such an event. In addition to these big events we have also had students competing in the state chess finals, state athletics finals, advance excursions, the Italian film festival, and our year 10 mathematics students attend Quantum Victoria for Programming with Arduinos.

Term four for the junior school means mainly one thing, transition. Lalor Secondary College is looking forward to welcoming its newest group of students this term and plans are already underway. During term four, a key group of staff will be visiting our local primary schools to meet and greet our students and answer any important questions they have. In addition to this there are three important dates coming up this term to be aware of. Our ‘Getting to Know You’ day is held on Tuesday the 31st of October where prospective students will visit the college to undertake of essential testing.  

The year 7 information evening for our transitioning students will be held on Thursday the 16th of November, which will be our first opportunity to speak directly to the families of our new arrivals. Our Pre-Orientation Day will be held on Friday the 8th of December where a small group of students will explore the college and familiarize themselves with it for the first time. And finally, Statewide Transition Day is on Tuesday the 12th of December where we will welcome our entire 2024-year 7 cohort to the school for the first time.
