Annual privacy reminder for our school community

Our school collects and uses student and parent personal information for standard school functions or where permitted by law, as stated in the Schools’ privacy policy and the Schools’ privacy collection notice.

Our Photographing, Filming and Recording Students policy [See Page 152 in our College Policy Manual ], describes how we collect and use photographs, video and recordings of students. The policy also explains when parent consent is required and how it can be provided and withdrawn. 

We ask parents to also review the guidance we provide on how we use [Microsoft 365/Google Workspace for Education] safely at the school and what parents can do to further protect their child’s information. If after reviewing the guidance, you have any questions or concerns regarding your child using [Microsoft 365/Google Workspace for Education], please contact the school.

Updating Family Contact Details

Have you moved house recently?

If your home address, email address or phone contact details have changed, please email the College at homestead.senior.sc@education.vic.gov.au with the updated details.

Updating addresses does not affect your place in the college, even if moving out of the school's zone.

Parking, Drop Off and Pick Up

The safe pick up and drop off of our students is essential. 

Parents are reminded that pick up and drop off for Homestead is on Coaching Parade only and the available spaces are up alongside the gymnasium. 

The school day starts at 8:45AM with Period 0. Students are expected here by then. Any student arriving to class after 9:15AM is late and the Student Management Team will follow up with this by issuing a lunchtime late detenetion. While the majority of students are on-time or early, we are seeing some students arriving late and claiming they were dropped off by parents. Parents, please ensure you support your child and the school, by insisting they are on time.

Pick up and drop off on the grass strip on Point Cook Homestead Rd is dangerous and must not be used. Parents are asked to consider pick ups outside of the busy period of 3PM-3:10PM. After 3:10PM, there is sufficient space on Coaching Parade.

Bus Stop

Please note that the bus stop, marked by the yellow lines is for the school bus only, between the hours of 8AM-9AM and again between 3PM and 4PM. 

We have had families be fined for dropping students off in this space during these times.

Visitor Car Park (Car Park 2)

Please know that this space is for visitors, and not for drop off and pick up. The number of spaces here is limited and drop off and pick up causes undue congestion here. Please ensure that drop off and pick up is from Coaching Parade. Drop off or Pick Up outside normal times are ok for this carpark as the number of cars is limited. 

Student Driver's Policy

Students and Parents are asked to please be aware of the HSSC Student Driver's Policy. 

This policy designed for the safety of all students driving to and from school and for any students considering being the passenger of a student driving to and from the college.

The Student Driver's policy is communicated to students through year level assemblies and will require documentation to be completed by students driving to and from the college. The policy can be found in our policy manual, found on the college website under the parent information tab.
