Director of Students Report

Welcome back to 2025, the first four weeks have flown by and everyone has settled in to the new school year. We have participated in Opening Mass, the swimming carnival and school photos, just to name a few. I would like to congratulate the students on their participation and behaviour at the swimming carnival, it was a great day out in perfect weather conditions.

We are in the process of updating our uniform policy and this will be sent out to both parents and students next week. I encourage everyone to read this document when it comes out and ensure that your uniforms meet the set guidelines.

Shuttle Bus passes were handed out this morning, while those students who are absent on Fridays are to receive theirs next Monday. Students need to carry this pass when they travel each day and make sure that they are using their listed service, as this is a legal requirement of PTV that bus rolls are accurately maintained and adhered to. Seat belts must be worn on all buses, at all times – again this is a legal requirement.

If there are outstanding bus issues, please contact Michelle Ferey at mferey@monivae.vic.edu.au  for assistance or advice. All students should be registered by now, if not could you please let Michelle know.

As local sport is currently starting training, a reminder that the following buses are the ONLY ones that have space available for students wishing to travel after school to local training sessions.

If you need a bus pass for local sport training, only the following buses have seats available: 

Coleraine – a Pink pass for shuttle 9 and Coleraine 1

Penshurst – a White pass for Tabor 12

To be allocated a pass for either of these buses, a parent/guardian must email reception@monivae.vic.edu.au at least 3 days prior to the date of travel for a pass to be issued. A paper pass will be given to the student to use on that bus and must be carried each day of travel.

Unfortunately, there are NO BUS PASSES for Dunkeld or Glenthompson, as these buses are at capacity.

There are limited passes for Monivae 2 via Heywood – if you would like to travel on this bus, we require an email 3 days in advance and a ticket/pass will be issued by Reception.
