Our vision at Lake Colac School is to provide students with a supportive and engaging learning environment.
Key Teaching Principles
* We believe in the importance of creating meaningful connections with our students, which is why we maintain small class sizes ranging from 5 to 13 students.
* Each classroom has multiple teacher aides who provide individualized support to ensure every student reaches their full potential.
* We use evidence-based pedagogies such as Cognitive Load Theory and Explicit Instruction to maximize engagement and learning efficiency.
Our team of dedicated educators continuously refine their craft through collaborative Professional Learning Teams (PLTs) and Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). This approach enables us to analyze student progress and make data-driven decisions to improve teaching practices.
At Lake Colac School, we are committed to delivering a high-quality education that caters to the diverse needs of our students. We strive to create a culture of continuous improvement, where staff and students work together to achieve excellence.
