The Lakes South Morang College - Senior Campus

Its an average school with aged facilities and aged philosophy of teaching.Teachers aren't dedicated neither do I think they are qualified. I, quite often see them screaming at kids.There is no proper system of handling conflicts/bullying.My son went there for prep and I couldn't see him progressing at all. I am disappointed that I wasted a year of his life.

I love The Lakes. I think the teachers are very helpful and nice and the students are fun to be around. We are smart about the level of strictness that goes on. We are not bad at all. I am proud be at such a great school.

This school is amazing! He school makes you feel as though you are at home and the whole community and opportunity’s at the school is endless. I would totally recommend this school. Their is so many student leadership roles and academy’s for every person! Such as School captain, house captain, src, performing arts captain, sports captain and now science captains. The academy’s in MAD (music and dance) FASTTRACK (sports) and SANE ( science and nothing else) if your looking for a school for your kid I would reccomend this school as number 1

0 STARS - wouldn’t recommend!! GO ELSEWHEREThis school has numerous bullying issues & it takes FOREVER for any action plan to be put in place which then doesn’t even help or rectify the situationMajor Bullying (intimidation, yelling, constant picking on) from a Teacher to a grade 5 student, after meetings this still occurred, yet the teacher is still allowed to keep teaching there!!As well as major bullying from a student spanning years to a certain few, and this kid is still at the school without consequence?!Things like - threatening to kill, choke holding, spitting, constant name calling, badgering.And the way to solve these are - stay away from each other.Seems they have no resources or care to actually put down punishments in place for bullying or their policy is clearly outdated!Parents have to badger the school with meetings before anything is actually done

I would rate five stars because It’s a nice school but there is one issue where the teachers don’t listen to instructions. When they say sit down they proceed to stand up and when they say be quiet they start talking! The teachers deserve to be fired . This Has been going on for years now and the school has done nothing to improve on this situation! Shame on them! Also if you want to hire a secret agent meet me and my accomplice at the trees Near the car park / water tank and we can stop this anarchy!11!! . Do the right thing . Hire us now . Also you can join our country which is at the same place you would meet us

The lakes South Morang P-9 is a very unique school for having many learning opportunities. It’s has many amazing staff there to help and the principle is very dedicated. The teachers are very kind and know how to discipline students when they misbehave. Students at the lakes have many talents and are lucky to be having grade 10,11 and 12 implanted in the school. I am very excited to be seeing the new grade 10s by 2020!

The worst school out there. They just sit back and don’t care about what’s going on out in the yard, for example they don’t react to bullying and other serious situations. Learning there is horrible, teachers teach the same thing to the same students all over again and don’t think to care about students well-being’s. the teachers there are so useless they do not care for students n some do bully students, picking on them, ect. I would not recommend going to this school because there’s so many students who don’t take care of their peers around them. Again I do not recommend going to this school cause it’s such a useless school.

one of the best schools in melbourne my first day of prep was actually the day this school opened. back in 2007 and i was lucky and happy to stay till year 9 everyone there was so nice the teachers and the students they all really care for eachother im so glad i came to this school only bad thing was having to go to another school after year 9 which i hated because it was a very bad experience at mill park seco if the lakes went to year 12 i would have completed all my schooling and probz wouldnt of hated school so much the lakes was one of the best places for me i felt so safe and happy here

This school is beyond useless. They respond poorly to bullying situations and conflicts. Their best way to discipline students is screaming, and on rare occasions, SWEARING at them. The principal is EXTREMELY rude. Also, she even reviewed her OWN SCHOOL with 5 stars. VCE opportunities are very limited, and the school is very poor, so implementing more opportunities will NEVER happen.

I have autism and went to this school for my secondary years. I also went to the primary campus in my early years. In primary school, my psychologist at the time gave some paperwork to the school on how to support me. The school said they would use it, but never did. I also had an OT in prep, and the school made her leave because she was “distracting the other students.” When she left, she was cross because she knew I needed help.With autism comes social ostracisation and bullying. I never learned how to mask my autistic traits which made me a target. In group work if the teachers paired me with people I didn’t know who didn’t like me I would be kicked out of said group or ignored. So in year 8 I stopped grouping with people who didn’t like me no matter what the teachers said. I felt like some of the teachers blamed me for being outcasted by the students.I was kicked, yelled at, and sworn at by other pupils in the school. In year 8, nobody cared or even knew that I was bullied by one person for almost an entire year. When I was alone outside, students would shout things at me. In year 9 they started doing this while I was inside. I tried to ignore them but it achieved nothing. Also in year 9, my therapist gave the school paperwork on how to support me. They said they would use it, but they never did and I was left waiting for when this support would come.To top it all off? A bit before I left, the teachers started saying, “eVeRYoNeS a LiTtLe biT aUtIsTiC” which caused other students to start saying they were autistic, and they were completely accepted while I was ostracised and excluded.If you are a parent of an autistic child, please do not send them to this school.
