Student accident insurance, ambulance cover and private property brought to school
Parents and guardians are reminded that the Department of Education and Training (DET) does not provide personal accident insurance or ambulance cover for students. Parents and guardians of students, who do not have student accident/insurance/ambulance cover, are responsible for paying the cost of medical treatment for injured students, including the cost of ambulance attendance or transport as well as any other transport costs. The DET cannot provide advice to parents or guardians on the purchase of individual student accident policy or ambulance cover. Insurance policies can be purchased from commercial insurers. Private property brought to school by students, staff or visitors is not insured and the Department does not accept any responsibility for any loss or damage. This can include mobile phones, calculators, toys, sporting equipment and cars parked on school premises. As the DET does not hold insurance for personal property brought to schools and has no capacity to pay for any loss or damage to such property, students and staff are discouraged from bringing any unnecessary or particularly valuable items to school.
Access to School Grounds
All parents/carers and visitors to the school are unable to drive a car on to the school grounds as the driveways are gated. Parking will need to be found in the local car parks close to the college.
The decision to restrict car access to school staff has been made in the best interests of student safety. This decision will greatly reduce the amount of traffic at the front of the school site during the times of the day where students are walking in this same area. This increases the pedestrian safety for our students.
We still have disability parking for anyone unable to walk from a local car park to the administration building. Anyone with a medical reason that means they require a disability car park can call the number on the signs on the gate to contact the front office, and the gate will be opened automatically
