General Office

Office Hours: 8:00am – 4.20pm

Telephone: 9735 1133

The General Office is always the first point of contact for families and visitors when attending the College or making contact with staff or students during school hours.

Appointments with staff must be made via telephone or email.

Student Absences

Parents/Guardians should report student absences to the College before 9am via the parent portal on Compass, or by contacting the College absence line on 9735 1133. Given the convenience and security of the Compass portal, this is the preferred method.

Late arrival/Early departure from school

In order to maximise learning for all students and to minimise disruption to classes, students are expected to be at school by 8.30am. The locker bell will ring at 8.45am and students are expected to be in class, ready to learn by 8.50am.

It is sometimes unavoidable that students are late for school. If you are aware that your child is going to be late, please provide them with a written note explaining their absence. Upon arrival at school, the student must go straight to the General Office, present their written note to reception and then sign in on the Compass Kiosk.

Where a parent requires the student to leave the school premises early, a written note with the reason and the time the student is required to leave must be provided. If a student is to leave early, they must go to the General Office before school and present their written note to reception. The student will then be given an Early Leavers Pass. At the time of their departure, the student will need to go to the General Office, present their Early Leavers Pass and sign out using the Compass Kiosk.

Uniform

It is compulsory for all students to wear the complete uniform whilst at the College and travelling to and from school. It is expected that uniform is worn according to the Uniform Policy and is maintained in a tidy manner at all times.

Our uniform is supplied by PSW.

Bus Information

A large percentage of students catch the bus to and from the College each day. The College is serviced by a full network of school contract and public buses from a diverse range of areas in the Yarra Valley and from the nearby metropolitan areas and this is used by many students at the College.

Information on bus services can be found here.

Student drop off and pick up

Between the hours of 8am – 9.30am and 2.30pm and 4pm, Nelson Road is a one way street. Please be mindful of this when dropping/picking up students from school. School car parks should not be used as a drop off/pick up area.
