Student Leadership
The Parliamentarian is an important student leadership role at Shelford. Parliamentarians meet regularly as a member of the Student Parliament, to discuss issues and implement improvements in the experience of students at Shelford. In the Junior School they will meet with the Head of Junior School – Student Wellbeing and Development and in the Senior School, with their Year Level Coordinator and/or the Deputy Principal – Student Wellbeing and Development.
I am delighted to announce our 2022 Parliamentarians and I look forward to what each of these leaders will bring to Shelford this year.

Student safety
The safety and wellbeing of our students is paramount. To alleviate some concerns about safety issues at the end of the day at the Junior and Senior School gates, we ask that all parents please do the following:
- When possible, please park further away from Shelford and walk up to Hood Crescent for student collection
- Where appropriate, please encourage students to walk/bike/scooter/take public transport to school
- If your daughter is in JDC (Prep–2) please collect your daughter from her classroom
- If your daughter is in Junior School, Year 3–6, please collect her from the JS gate (Gate 3) not from across the road
- If your daughter is in Senior School, please do not double park in Hood Crescent. Following pick-up, please continue driving slowly (less than 40km/h) with an awareness of the Junior School gate, to ensure the safety of Junior School parents and students crossing Hood Crescent.
- Please do not park in the Doctor’s surgery car park or our staff car park
Thank you in advance for your support of these measures which will help to ensure the safety of our students and their families at the end of each school day.
