Assistant Principal's Report

General House Keeping

Student Absences 

If a student is unable to attend school, is going to be late or needs to leave early, the school must be informed of ALL absences: whether it be illness, appointments, holidays or any other reason. 

The easiest way to inform The School is to Login to Compass with your Parent Login and ADD A PARENT APPROVAL. 

Any unexplained absences will be followed up by Head of House if your child is absent without an explanation. 

Student Accident Insurance 

Parents and guardians are reminded that the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development does not provide personal accident insurance for students while at school or during any school related activity including camps and excursions. 

Parents and guardians are responsible for paying the cost of medical treatment for injured students, including any transport costs. Student accident insurance policies are available from some commercial insurers. These cover a range of medical expenses not covered by Medicare or private health insurance. 

It is also highly recommended that families have Ambulance Victoria Membership Cover if it is not included in your private health cover. Ambulance costs are very expensive and are not covered by Medicare. 

Parent Details 

Have you moved house or changed phone numbers? 

If so, please remember to fill in a ‘Change of Details’ form. A form can also be collected from the General Office. Please return this form as soon as possible. It is important that we have your most current details for general purposes and in case of an emergency. It is also important that you keep your mobile phone number and email address details up-to-date on Compass. This is to ensure you do not miss out on vital information including student attendance alerts.

Uniform

Families are reminded that full winter uniform is to be worn when travelling to and from the College. This includes ties and blazers. The College scarf can also be worn for extra warmth and can be purchased from the Administration Office or from our uniform supplier, PSW.

PSW have informed us that they now have a full complement of uniform at their Cheltenham store available for purchase.
