Why Year 5?
The Year 5 Scholarship has been introduced because this stage is a pivotal point in a child’s learning journey, particularly for students who have not been with us since Prep. Beginning at Lakeside in Year 5 will allow students to establish strong foundations and enjoy a smooth, well-supported transition into Year 7, with both primary and secondary learning located on the same campus.
Why Lakeside College?
What sets Lakeside apart is our commitment to personalised learning. Every child is known, seen and heard by teachers who take the time to understand their strengths and nurture their God-given gifts. Scholarship recipients will also be thoughtfully guided toward leadership and enrichment opportunities as they progress through the College, helping them grow in confidence, character and capability.
For further information, please contact enrolments@lakeside.vic.edu.au.
We look forward to meeting our scholarship applicants and learning more about their unique gifts and strengths.
*Please kindly note, discounted fees apply to Year 5 (2027) and Year 6 (2028) only and do not continue into Year 7.
