Need to know information

PRIVATE PROPERTY ON SCHOOL GROUNDS

Private property brought to school by students, staff, or visitors is not insured and the Department does not accept any responsibility for any loss or damage. Any personal property brought to school by students, including phones, etc., is brought at their own risk.

Locks on Lockers

Parents/guardians and students are reminded it is the student's responsibility to ensure their lockers are locked at all times. 

ALL students are provided with a locker and school lock.

Visitors to the School

A reminder to all parents and guests that you are required to report directly to the General Office upon arrival at the school. This is an OH&S requirement for the School as we need to know who is on site at all times. 

When coming to School to meet with staff, it is best practice to make an appointment first. This will allow for a suitable time to meet with you and discuss student progress or address any concerns that you or the School may have. 

Excursion Permission Notes

A friendly reminder that when students receive excursion notes for upcoming events, it is the responsibility of the student to return the permission form and payment (if applicable) before the due date listed on the form. This is to ensure that staff have the correct numbers to book tickets and travel. If students do not return the permission form and payment by the due date then there may be a chance they will miss out.                 

Personal Accident Insurance and Ambulance Cover 

Parents and Guardians are reminded that the Department does not provide personal accident insurance or ambulance cover for students. 

Parents and guardians of students, who do not have student accident insurance/ambulance cover, are responsible for paying the cost of medical treatment for injured students, including the cost of ambulance attendance/transport and any other transport costs. Please note that if First Aid trained staff at Tarneit Senior College believe an ambulance to be necessary they will ring for one immediately. Parents and Guardians are not consulted before this decision is made. 

Student accident insurance/ambulance cover policies are available from some commercial insurers.
