Prep
Our Prep year provides a learning environment with exciting things to do, see, touch and experience.
The Lakes College is committed to enabling students to engage in inspirational and innovative learning. To achieve this, we develop our learners' capacity to transfer their understandings and capabilities to new and unfamiliar contexts. This means that students are able to apply the knowledge, competencies and skills, and values and attitudes developed in the classroom to a range of diverse situations within both a formal education setting and also to the contemporary world around them. To facilitate this, we have developed Our Teaching and Learning Culture (Our TLC), which articulates our expectations for teaching, learning and the culture situated at the intersection of the two.
We invite you to read the below publication that further outlines Our Teaching and Learning Culture.

Through our 3 B’s – Be Safe, Be Respectful and Be a Learner – we work together to ensure each and every child feels safe enough to take risks as a learner and try new things and are valued as a respected member of our community.
We believe that the most effective educational program appeals to both the mind and the heart, encouraging and inspiring students to engage meaningfully with the world around them.
A balanced approach to education through quality curricular and extra-curricular programs provides opportunities for students to explore their potential.
