Assistant Principal 

Dear Senior school community,

Congratulations to our wonderful year 12 VCE students who enjoyed a spectacular Celebrations Day last Friday. For once the weather was perfect for the day at Fun Fields.  These young adults made us all incredibly proud in the way they celebrated and enjoyed this final school week with their friends and teachers. Their conduct was nothing short of exemplary and for many this turned out to be an emotional journey, with the realization that their 13 years of formal schooling was coming to an end. Several students I spoke with commented that they had been together with the same friends since their kindergarten years!

 As tradition dictates, on their last days of year 12, the school Captains provide an address to the rest of the student community, and this year both Darko and Theresa delivered a most heartfelt and sincere messages, gratitude and best wishes to their fellow class of 26. Congratulations Theresa and Darko, you have made us all proud. We are extremely proud of all our wonderful year 12 students. They have upheld the college values each day, and it is with great pride that we celebrated this final week of school alongside them.

The senior school team and I, would like to wish our VCE students all the best of luck for their approaching exams, beginning with English on Tuesday 27 th October. I am certain that our students will have the necessary confidence in their preparation and hard work to approach these coming exams with positivity and diligence. We wish you great success in the path you choose beyond Lalor Secondary College. Your growing resilience and strong spirit will place you favourably in realizing your future pathways and life goals. Be sure to remain in touch with us here at LSC and keep us updated on all the wonderful opportunities that are sure to come your way.

We will have a final formal opportunity to farewell and celebrate the achievements of these fabulous year 12 students at this year’s Graduation Ceremony on December 14thwhen we look forward to enjoying a dinner with students and their families at Ferraro Receptions.

Year 11 students will have their last day of school on Thursday November 19th, with exams and year 12 orientation falling within this time. Orientation programs are compulsory for all students and provide the starting work required for year 12. Students are expected to be at school and engaged in their orientation program until Thursday November 19. 

It was delightful to see our senior students performing and hosting the Spring Concert on Tuesday night.  They were truly amazing, their professionalism, camaraderie and joyful enthusiasm was a privilege to behold. These young adults have made us all very proud. 

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank parents and careers for your ongoing support of the college throughout this past year. Partnering alongside us is critical in ensuring our students achieve their very best.

Best wishes,

 Ms Laura Forster
