THE LAKES COLLEGE - Open Day Sat Mar 01 @ 9:00AM - 11:00AM [12 Days to go] |
Excellence in education, innovation in learning and a caring Christian community: The Lakes College is preparing a new generation of global citizens, with a growing tradition of outstanding academic results and a solid grounding in faith.
We have spent the past two decades building our vision, to be recognised as a Christian College which helps our students lay the foundations for a bright and successful future. We develop, nurture and recognise individual talents through a flexible and well-rounded curriculum.
Based in the heart of the fast growing North Lakes area of Brisbane, our co-educational College campus is a vibrant and happy place with boundless opportunities. Catering for Prep to Year 12, The Lakes College is an independent school underpinned by the traditions and beliefs of the Uniting Church.
Our educational philosophy is focused on the whole child - intellectual, cultural, physical, social and spiritual and strives to develop the good, the true and the beautiful in every child. A balanced approach to education through quality curricular and extra-curricular programs provides opportunities for students to explore their potential.
Sport is an integral part of life at TLC. There is a strong emphasis on personal fitness, participation and teamwork where students are encouraged to reach their full potential and contribute to a team.
The Lakes College provides all students with opportunities to participate in and enjoy self-expression through music, drama, art and dance. There is a strong focus on performance and display of talent.
The Lakes College’s approach to education seeks to develop well-rounded young people with a thorough grounding in the academic, cultural, social, spiritual and physical domains. We provide a diverse range of extra-curricular programs that cater for a variety of talents and interests that vary each term.
Within our Secondary School, the vertical Home Group pastoral care system plays a crucial role, encompassing and nurturing the wellbeing of every student by fostering their spiritual, emotional, social and academic development.
The pastoral care of each student is nurtured through our signature Find Your North Wellbeing framework, House membership, and vertical Home Group structures that strengthen student wellbeing at TLC. When students enrol at TLC, there is a saying, “Which House Will Choose You?”, students then have a home away from home while at the College.
Our Primary School actively participates in The Resilience Project, an enriching program centred on instilling Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness in our students. A unique aspect of this program is the incorporation of a daily journaling practice. Students are encouraged to maintain a personal journal where they reflect on their experiences, thoughts and feelings related to gratitude, empathy and mindfulness. By integrating this program into our Primary School Wellbeing framework, we not only address the immediate emotional needs of our students but also equip them with lifelong skills that positively impact their personal and academic journeys.
We offer an extensive bus network through our partners at Kangaroo Bus Lines and Translink.
At TLC we are committed to the journey, growing young adults who graduate with qualifications, global understanding and the interpersonal skills that establish them as FUTURE ready.
Our TLC Scholarship program is designed to identify and celebrate students in Years 7-11 who have strengths and expertise in a variety of areas, giving opportunity for young people to be part of a learning community that fosters Belonging, Believing and Becoming.

The Lakes College has partnered with leading industry institutions to deliver quality, real-world qualifications right here on our campus. As a result of the vocational education pathway, students become qualified individuals who have the opportunity to step out of school and into apprenticeships, traineeships, TAFE, or university for further study as lifelong learners with the skills and confidence to meet the challenges ahead of them.
Welcome to The Lakes College (TLC), a vibrant Prep to Year 12 Co-educational learning Community committed to developing young people of Character who embody the Christ-centred values of our community.
Our school motto reminds us daily, “To your Faith add Knowledge” – at TLC we also emphasise the significance of Curiosity, Character and Connection.
At The Lakes College we understand learning as a lifelong pursuit and see everyone – staff, parents, carers and students as Lakes Learners.
The Lakes Learner is a spiritual being uniquely gifted and created by God and from this spiritual foundation, a Lakes Learner seeks to embody the capabilities of being Knowledgeable, Connected and Curious whilst growing a depth of Character.
Our Teaching and Learning Culture comes alive as students and educators collaborate to foster a supportive and engaging learning environment.
Dynamic and rich learning programs encourage innovative and critical thinking and are designed to empower learners to face challenge, build resilience and grow in integrity as they engage in a global world now and into the future.
We are a place of Belonging, Believing and for Becoming and we seek to partner with families in growing young people who are Future Ready.
I warmly invite you to visit our campus and experience what The Lakes College is all about

For the second consecutive year, The Lakes College (TLC) has ranked in the top three for both Primary and Secondary NAPLAN results in the Moreton Region (2024). Our Primary students achieved the best results in the region as the number one top performing school, with an impressive average score of 529.4. Additionally, our Secondary students maintained high standards with an average score of 584.4, the third top performing school in the region. These outstanding results reflect our commitment to excellence and personal bests.
At The Lakes College, we believe in helping our students achieve their personal bests. Much like athletes chasing records, our learners are encouraged to surpass their own limits both in and out of the classroom. This approach not only celebrates individual accomplishments but also fosters collective success.
We have strategically invested in the Walker Learning approach for our Primary students, a well-researched method that provides a solid foundation for early learners. Furthermore, our systematic commitment to phonics underscores our dedication to equipping students with essential skills for future success.
In our Secondary School, we place a strong emphasis on excellence in teaching and learning. By focusing on critical and creative thinking, we aim to develop students into future-focused thinkers who consistently strive for academic excellence.
Recognising the importance of continuous improvement, The Lakes College remains committed to providing a rich learning environment for all students. We are actively exploring new ways to enhance educational outcomes further.
Congratulations to all our staff and students for their contributions to these exceptional NAPLAN results. This collective success is a direct result of the daily efforts invested in creating a conducive and engaging learning environment. Let's continue to strive for excellence and celebrate our achievements together!
