Cultivating Real-World Talent at Lake Mantasoa School
Friday afternoons at Lake Mantasoa School are not for winding down; they are for discovery. For our secondary students, these activities are a vital part of our educational commitment, focused entirely on helping each child identify, develop, and refine their unique talents.
We believe the most valuable lessons are often practical, which is why we run a robust, hands-on programme entirely powered by our community. We do not hire specialist trainers; instead, our dedicated teachers and the wonderful parents of our students volunteer their expertise to lead every field of work. This collaboration is the heart of the LMS difference.

🔬 Practical Workshop (STEM): A hub for innovation where students apply Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics to solve real-world problems through building and experimentation.
✍️ Workshop of Speech Writing: Developing leadership requires clear communication. Students gain confidence in crafting persuasive arguments and mastering the art of public speaking.

At Lake Mantasoa School, these activities are more than just hobbies—they are essential training grounds. By focusing on practical skills and community involvement every Friday, we are ensuring our students are well-rounded, responsible, and fully equipped for whatever their future holds.
