On Tuesday October 13th We held our junior school awards assembly. Students received awards for outstanding commitments toothier learning as observed in their progress reports. As well as awards for the VHAP program. Congratulations to all those who received an award, and the challenge is now set for those who did not to see if they are able to build towards an award this semester.

Our Spring Concert was held on the 20th of October. Performances ranged from woodwind, to strings, brass to drums, vocals and various ensembles and bands. It was a wonderful night of celebration of our student accomplishments and the progress of the music program. Student performed to over 200 primary school guests during the day and to a packed crowd for the evening session. Congratulations to Ms Heather Allan and the instrumental music staff for putting on such an incredible event.

From the 28th of October to the 6th of November our Advance students have/will be braving the elements on their annual camp. The camp sees the students camping two nights along the great ocean road coast experiencing tent life, Trangia cooking, bushwalking, surfing and sea kayaking. We cannot wait to see the phots and hear about their experiences in the coming newsletters. 

Primary school visits are well 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 regarding high school life. In addition to this there are three two dates coming up this term to be aware of. Our ‘Getting to Know You’ day is held on Wednesday the 4th of October where prospective students will visit the college to undertake of essential testing.  And the year 7 information evening for our transitioning students which will be held on Tuesday the 24th of November. We are looking forward to greeting our newest members of the Lalor Secondary College Community. 

Our End of year programs will run from December 7th to December 15th. Students within the junior school have a range of fun and interactive sessions. Student attendance during activities week is important and students are still required to attend. Students' behaviour is being monitored closely this term. Students that are not able to display the college values and behave according to our expectations may not be able to attend some of the excursion events.

Finally, I would like to thank all the staff at Lalor Secondary College in acknowledgement of World Teachers Day on Friday the 30th of October. Thank you for your continual support and all the amazing things that you do for our students and each other within the junior school and across the college.
