20.01.2022 As we prepare for day 1 of remote learning 2.0 tomorrow, our staff have been hard at work making all the necessary preparations. Resource packs for junior students will be delivered and regularly updated, while Google classroom and other digital resources will be available to senior students. Some teachers will also be running Zoom classes and regularly checking in with students and families. We remind all community members that wellbeing and mental health are our first priority. Please do no let remote learning become a point of stress or conflict at home. We want all our students, parents and carers to feel empowered to work through the learning programs in a way that is manageable and practical. Please reach out if you require support at any time.

19.01.2022 When street art meets skateboarding! This term our senior primary students have learned about street art techniques and materials and created their own piece on a skateboard deck! We’re sure these are going to look great on display in their bedrooms!

19.01.2022 Our amazing VCAL students are launching a unique new project called T.A.L.L. - Tales of A Local Lockdown. This project will allow Lorne community members to contribute stories of their experiences during the COVID-19 lockdown. The stories will then create a time-capsule for the Lorne Historical Society. Check out John Agars fantastic piece in the most recent Committee for Lorne Surf Coast Times page...

18.01.2022 This year, COVID restrictions meant that we were unable to take all our students to the Lorne Rememberance Day service. So we thank our junior school captains Pema and Max for representing their peers and laying a wreath on behalf of our College. Students back at school listened to a short service over the PA and participated in learning activities including the creation of this collection of poppies by our Grade Prep, 1 & 2 children. Lest we forget...

18.01.2022 Our school is fully operational and students should be in class. Current DET advice is that all students outside Melbourne and Mitchell Shire should be attending school. Students should be kept at home if they are showing symptoms of illness, or if a member of their household has been sent for a COVID-19 test. Please understand that we are not running a remote learning program at this time. Our teachers are delivering onsite learning programs only, as per the DET operational guidelines. Thank you.

18.01.2022 Dungeons & Dragons! This week, Year 11 student Ari Jenkin took the initiative to start a lunchtime D&D group. This dedicated team will now meet in the library to learn the intricacies and strategies necessary to be successful players (thats what the video is about!). We know theyll have a whole bunch of fun once their games commence!

18.01.2022 Another media appearance for our VCAL T.A.L.L. project - this time in the Weekly Times. We hope to see a large number of our community members sharing their lockdown stories with us!

18.01.2022 Just confirming with all our school community members that at present our full return to school will proceed as planned from Monday 13th of July for students in every year level. If this situation changes we will inform you all ASAP! In the meantime please look after yourselves, follow all health advice and practice social distancing as necessary. Take care!

This includes - poster design, booking bands, performing in bands, photography, MC, artist liaison and stage management. It's all taking place at the Great Ocean Road Mini Golf 11am this Sunday!

16.01.2022 Our Year 9 Advance and 9/10 Outdoor Ed elective classes have not been able to tackle the usual adventure camps and activities so far this year due to COVID-19 restrictions. But that hasnt stopped them learning to prepare savory yet nutritious food that will fuel their bodies during outdoor pursuits! Check out some of their remote learning handiwork...

15.01.2022 Just a reminder to our community that Stribling Reserve (both the gymnasium and oval) is for the exclusive use of Lorne P-12 College during school hours. This is a contractural and financial arrangement between the Department of Education and the Surf Coast Shire. We respectfully ask all community members to plan their use of this space outside of school time, just as they would any other school oval or gymnasium elsewhere. Thank you.

15.01.2022 Finishing a tough term with a primary disco!

13.01.2022 Were increasing the presence of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags throughout our college. We are doing this to show respect for, and in recognition of, the First Australians.

12.01.2022 Lets play! Australia is a signatory to the United Nations Convention on Rights of the Child, which includes the Right to Play. Play is a vital element in our childrens physical, social, emotional, cognitive and creative development. So, with the holidays just around the corner, we thought wed share some ideas around how to support our children to engage more in unstructured play! And best of all, parents can play too!

12.01.2022 Over the coming weeks, our school will be making preparations for our students to return to on-site learning. Detailed guidelines from the DET will be forthcoming. Being a P-12 College means well have more factors to consider than some other schools. Well share our plan with community members over the coming days and weeks. In the meantime, stay safe and take care!

11.01.2022 Our small but enthusiastic team of swimmers had a fantastic day at the Western Zone Swimming Championships in Horsham on Friday! Our students were excellent ambassadors for our school displaying great determination, team spirit and sportsmanship!

And U11 boys Breaststroke 3rd place by Kobe Enticott!

11.01.2022 One of the great things about having primary and secondary students on the one campus is being able to bring them together to learn. Here are our Year 9/10 Food Tech and Grade 6 students working together in our industrial kitchen, learning about indigenous Australian ingredients and using them to make muffins. We cant wait to taste the results!

10.01.2022 Every Friday afternoon, our P-2 students do a subject called Create. Last weeks theme was Create something that could be used in space!. Look at the amazing ideas they came up with - communication devices, helmets, rockets, telescopes and even a teddy bear launch site!

10.01.2022 Our College aims to be an inclusive and supportive environment for all students and community members.

09.01.2022 At the end of each year our Grade 6s have a celebration day full of fun and adventure! This year the crew went to Live Wire Park.

07.01.2022 Our Grade 3 & 4 campers are back from three days of fun and adventure.

A first step will be changing our paper stock to a product that is: - 100% recycled - Certified carbon neutral - Forest Stewardship Council certified Weve been introducing new ways of communicating that require less printing and will sharpen our focus on reducing photocopying. And well soon be recommencing paper recycling. This new paper may cost a little more, but we think the payoff for the planet will be worth it!

Mrs Bannan was the leader of this work. We now have two spaces in the school that will link our students and staff to the other DET schools and offices.

03.01.2022 More media coverage for our VCAL TALL project! An amazing example of what can happen when students and the community collaborate, communicate and think creatively!

03.01.2022 We made it! We survived 2020 and remote learning! And to celebrate, a team of students have designed commemorative t-shirts as a fundraising activity! $25 each and all money raised goes toward funding our new ‘kitchen garden’ in 2021!
