Assessment requests

At various times, schools are requested to provide feedback to psychologists and clinicians when a diagnosis is being sought by families. The College is happy to support these requests.

Please contact the relevant Program Manager for assistance. They will liaise with relevant parties in a timely manner, and keep parents/carers informed.

Privacy and insurance information for parents and carers

PRIVACY

During the ordinary course of your child’s attendance at our school, school staff will collect your child’s personal and health information when necessary to educate your child, or to support your child’s social and emotional wellbeing or health.

Read the Schools Privacy Collection Statement here.

INSURANCE

MC does not provide personal accident insurance or ambulance cover for students. We strongly encourage all parents and carers to have up-to-date ambulance cover. Parents and guardians of students, who do not have student accident insurance/ambulance cover, are responsible for paying the cost of any medical expenses such as ambulance costs if their child is injured or requires an ambulance at school, or whilst participating in a school activity. Parents and carers can purchase insurance policies from commercial insurers. The Department’s Claims for Property Damage and Medical Expenses Policy can be found here.

Policies

College policies can be accessed via our website: www.maribsc.vic.edu.au/policies

Canteen

Students are encouraged to place lunch orders (before 8:50am on the day).

Reminder: students cannot use mobile phones to pay. Students must pay with cash or card.
