Photography, Filming and Video Recording Students
During the school year there are many occasions and events where staff may photograph, film or record students participating in school activities and events. We do this for many reasons including to celebrate student participation and achievement, showcase particular learning programs, document a student’s learning journey/camps/excursions/sports events etc, communicate with our parents and school community in newsletters, and others on a specific case basis.
If you do not want your child photographed, filmed or recorded, please fill out the attached document and email it to mil@brightonsc.vic.edu.au.

It’s My Shout!
An ex-Brighton SC employee, has set up a website called It’s My Shout which enables people to buy products or services in fire affected areas. For example, you can pay for a virtual coffee or shout a local a haircut.
It’s a brilliant initiative that has been promoted by the Victorian Government, as well as through the media such as The Project and is a means for people to help directly where it’s needed.
Please consider jumping onto the It’s My Shout website and help our fellow citizens in their time of need.

Invitation to attend an ‘Elevate’ Study Skill Seminar
Dear Parents and Guardians,
You are invited to attend an 'Elevate' Parent Seminar - On Thursday 20th Feb in the VCE Building Room E 201 at 6pm till 7pm.
This is available to parents/guardians wishing to assist their student with study.
The Elevate program focuses on sharing information regarding how best to support your child in their V.C.E studies.
Elevate has spent over 16 years bench-marking the habits of the country's top students. This research has identified areas where the habits and study processes of the top students differ from middle and lower performing students. Elevate seminars introduce students to "top student" skills.
Your child will be participating in the Elevate sessions this Semester to assist in their study skills and techniques. This is a great opportunity to see what Elevate tell our students. Please feel free to take notes..
We look forward to seeing you there!

Canteen Menu
ALLERGIES: Please note that we are not a nut-free school and the canteen often uses nuts in their dishes. In addition, while gluten free options are sometimes provided, the canteen make doughs in the kitchen area therefore flour is often in the air and therefore no item can be deemed 100% gluten free.
Info - Consent for Events
Any event (excursion or sports day) that a student is involved in requires online parental consent through Compass.
There are a number of sports days approaching and all students involved need consent for them to be able to leave the school grounds and attend the day.
Email reminders are sent to all parents of those students involved and your assistance with providing consent is greatly appreciated.
It is your child that misses out if consent is not received.

The DET compliant College Medication Authority Form can be found on Compass under School documents – College information - First Aid. This form must be filled in, signed and returned with any medication that Parents wish First Aid to provide to their student (child), including Panadol (Paracetamol).
