Student Photograph, Filming and Recording policy.

During the school year there are many occasions and events where staff may photograph, film or record students participating in school activities and events. We do this for many reasons including to: celebrate student participation and achievement, showcase particular learning programs, document a student’s learning journey/camps/excursions/sports events etc, communicate with our parents and school community in newsletters and on classroom blogs/apps, promote the school.

Newham Primary School understands that parents and carers have the right to withhold permission for our school to use photographs, video or recordings of your child (apart from circumstances where the school is not required to seek consent – see our Photographing, Filming and Recording Students Policy).

If you do not understand any aspect of this notice, or you would like to talk about any concerns you have, please contact our school on ph:54270235 or email: newham.ps@education.vic.gov.au.
