- Anti Harassment Policy Incorporating Sexual Harassment and Racial and Religious Vilification. This document includes procedures to be followed should an incident of harassment occur. Any forms of unacceptable behaviour are to be reported to the Principal immediately.

Head Lice

Please report all cases of live head lice directly to the office. A letter will be sent home to the other students in the class or any student who has direct contact. See Head Lice Policy. Head Lice: Policy | education.vic.gov.au

Homework

Homework, as “Independent Learning” may be provided to students however it is limited to independent reading or a simple practical task. Staff are strongly encouraged to ensure there is consistency across your PLT member classes. It is important to remember that students at Jackson School have an intellectual disability and the concentration asked to complete homework may be unrealistic. Please consider the support or challengers faced by some students and their families if considering placing this additional demand on them. Some of our EAL students may also receive additional tuition out of school.
