We would like to remind/advise students and their families of the following;

The school newsletter is published fortnightly on a Wednesday afternoon. It is a valuable source of information that can be emailed directly to you. Alternatively you can collect a hardcopy from the General Office.
Students are to ensure they are attending class with all the necessary items needed to learn (charged laptop, stationery, exercise and text books and any required homework). If you have any concerns or queries please contact the General Office on 5349 2305
Students are not to remain in corridors during recess and lunchtimes unless advised otherwise by a staff member.
The area between the Primary School and the Drama Centre/Gym remains out of bounds, with the exception of going to and from PE classes or a Student Assembly in the Drama Centre.
For safety reasons, there is to be no running in or around the school buildings; please save this activity for the school oval and/or the basketball courts.
Students are to respect all school property at all times. This includes indoor and outdoor furniture, equipment, spaces, garden beds, plants etc.
All sign-up sheets for inter-school sports will be placed on the sports noticeboard in the Link corridor. We encourage students to try out new sports in addition to those they are passionate about. Due to there being a limited time to submit teams in any given sport, we ask that you please sign up for your chosen sport/s at the earliest opportunity.
Sports equipment is available from the Year 12 Common Room (located at between rear of the Fibres room and the Hands on Learning shed) at recess and lunchtimes. Whatever equipment you borrow, you are expected to return prior to the end of recess or lunchtime.
Breakfast Club is held at 8:30am each Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the Student Centre; all students are welcome.
Make-It-Happen will take place each Tuesday and Thursday lunchtime in the N wing. This affords students a space in which they will find the resources and assistance they require to catch up on or complete unfinished work due to absence or other reasons. For further information, please see Mrs. Palmer
If you have misplaced an item in the school grounds, please see Mrs. Newberry in the Library to check the 'Lost Property' box. Please note, items will be retained for a period of one month, after which they will be disposed of.
Yard Duty Supervision - The school grounds are supervised between the hours of 8:30am and 3:40pm or until the last bus departs. Outside of these hours, school staff will not be available to supervise students.

Uniform

As we head into the cooler months we ask that you are prepared with the correct uniform items. Please see below for uniform options during Winter.

All students are required to attend school in complete school uniform, including school jackets, hats, beanies, socks and shoes. Please refer to the school website, beaufortsc.vic.edu.au, for all uniform requirements. If, for any reason, it is not possible for a student to attend in their full uniform, students will require a note from a parent or guardian stipulating the reason. If you have financial concerns relating to the uniform, please speak with one of our Assistant Principals, Simon De Zoete Spiero, Jackie Kerr or Kate McGinty, at the earliest opportunity. Uniforms can be purchased from Crockers, Ballarat.

Skirts, dresses and shorts must be of an acceptable length (generally between the knee and mid-thigh).
Hats and beanies are not to be worn inside, including corridors, classrooms and the Gym. Please don't wait to be asked to remove them.
Hair past shoulder length is to be tied up at all times. Once again, please don't wait to be asked to do so. If you do not have a hair tie, please see Mr. De Zoete Spiero.
Earring studs, small sleepers and discreet necklaces may be worn, while the only facial piercing permitted is a small nose stud. Students will be expected to remove all other facial piercings and visible jewellery, including rings.
Discreet and natural makeup and nail polish are acceptable.
