Principal

At Good News we strongly believe that schools should be positive places of learning, where everyone (staff, students, and visitors) has a right to a safe and healthy learning environment. 

From Term 3, 2022, the School Community Safety Order Scheme came into effect in all Victorian schools. This Scheme allows Principals and other authorised persons to issue ongoing or immediate school community safety orders that place limitations on those who act in a harmful, abusive, or threatening way in the school community. Click here for more information about the Scheme, including a short video that provides an overview of the Scheme. 

Everyone in our community; staff and care providers, play a role in making school a better place for learning and work. The Respectful Behaviours within the School Community Policy outlines the shared roles of parents, carers and school staff in creating a positive environment for learning. There is also an ‘Easy English Version’ for parents/carers to view on this link. This link has the function to translate into other languages.

Our mutual objective is to support your child’s education. To do this, we ask that feedback and complaints are both constructive and respectful. Parents are reminded to follow the school’s complaints policy or process or the Department’s Complaints Policy if you wish to raise any constructive and respectful feedback.

You can find our parent Code of Conduct Policy at Parent Code of Conduct and other resources to build a positive relationship with our school community here.
