Pixevety Photo Permissions Reminder

As we head into Term 3, we kindly ask all families to ensure they have completed or updated their Pixevety consent settings. Pixevety is the College’s photo management software which allows us to safely manage images of students, as well as helping us keep track of individual photo permissions. Pixevety can be accessed via MyASC and permission settings can be updated at any time.

Teach Learn Grow Tour 2026

Teach Learn Grow is a service tour to Fitzroy Crossing, where current Year 10 and 11 students (who will be in Year 11 and 12 in 2026) work in remote schools to support local students academically. The program also offers participants a unique opportunity to experience Indigenous culture and the stunning landscape of the Fitzroy Crossing region. It’s a powerful way for students to contribute meaningfully while gaining valuable personal and educational insights.

 

Applications for 2026 open on Monday 4 August and close on Friday 15 August.

Supporting Your Child Through Bullying: What You Need to Know 

Bullying can be a difficult topic for children to talk about. Many hesitate to speak up because they worry it might be seen as “snitching”. It’s important to help children understand the difference: 

  • Snitching is trying to get someone in trouble unnecessarily. 
  • Asking for help is what we do when a situation feels too big to handle alone. 

At school, we’re actively teaching students how to respond to bullying and other challenging social situations. These strategies empower them to make safe and respectful choices.

 

What Students Are Learning: 

When faced with a problem, students are encouraged to: 

  • Stand up for themselves in a calm and positive way 
  • Talk directly with the person involved, if they feel safe doing so 
  • Walk away and avoid engaging 
  • Seek help from a trusted adult, like a teacher 
  • Stay focused on their activity and ignore the behaviour 
  • Talk to a friend for advice 
  • Work towards a peaceful resolution with the other person 

How You Can Help at Home: 

You can support these messages by having open conversations with your child. Ask them: 

  • “What would you do if someone was being unkind to you or a friend?” 
  • “Who could you talk to at school if something felt wrong?” 
  • “How do you know when it’s time to ask for help?” 

Reinforcing these strategies at home helps build your child’s confidence and resilience. Together, we can create a safe and supportive environment for every student.
