“It feels like a community where my child will be nurtured, cared for and known.”
This is what parents and guardians say is their main reason for choosing Lakeside College, according to principal Tom Brennen.
“As a Christian College in the Lutheran tradition, we couldn’t be happier that families are experiencing exactly what we set out to provide,“ he said.
“Education is all about relationships – between teacher and student, family and staff and school and community.
“Lakeside College prioritises these critical relationships as we carry out our service to the local community.“
As a smaller Christian school of 461 students (growing to 650 students) from Years Prep to 12, there is a richness of relationships and attention to individuals that set the college apart from others.
Students are nurtured across the curriculum through innovative learning opportunities in core subjects, a vibrant arts program, technologies and sport.
Highly qualified and committed staff know each child deeply through the intentional pastoral care program and relish in the opportunity to teach students across the school’s different areas.
The college boasts excellent facilities including access to the co-located facilities provided through the Cardinia Cultural Centre, the Toomuc Playing Fields and the Cardinia Life gym.
As an open enrolment Christian college, all families are welcome regardless of their faith tradition.
“As principal, I relish taking families on tours each week on Tuesday mornings and Thursday afternoons and at other times as needed – please take me up on the offer,“ Mr Brennen said.
