Welcome to The Lakes College! Please find below some key information.
At The Lakes College, every Year 4-12 student is provided with their own school-issued laptop and laptop bag, ensuring equal access to the technology and tools needed for learning. Parents and carers are not required to purchase a device, nor can students bring their own. As a proud Microsoft School, we integrate the full Microsoft 365 suite - including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and more - into our curriculum, equipping students with the skills to succeed in a digital world.
New Year 7-12 students will be given their laptop on the first day of school, normally following an IT Orientation session. Year 4 - 6 students will receive their laptop towards the end of the first week of school as their Orientation session is more involved.
Parents and Carers have access to two Parent Portals that are listed below:
Both portals are password protected, our Primary and Secondary Office will send login details to new families.

All College communication is uploaded to the app on a regular basis.

Lockers and Timetables – Locker distribution will be emailed to students.
Students are allocated to lockers based on their House group rather than the year group.
Student Timetables are available online via SEQTA Engage and Student Learn.
Student Diaries are distributed in the first week of Term 1 (or their first day if commencing later in the year).
In our Primary School, class begins at 8:30am and then finishes at 3:00pm.
Our Secondary School has a delayed start time on a Thursday and Friday morning, therefore Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday is 8:30am - 3:10pm, and Thursday and Friday is 9:00am - 3:10pm.
We know how much communication can be sent from schools so we do our best not to overwhelm families. Every Friday we will send a Communication Day email that outlines any communication that is year level related. Other communication that is specific to your child's class or House or subject will be sent directly to you.
Please make sure your contact details are correct via Parent Lounge.
Our Uniform Guide has been developed to illustrate and explain the School’s formal and sports uniform and provide guidelines relating to their wear. Our uniform helps to build a strong sense of community, supports equality amongst students and identifies our students.
