Student Lost Property

To assist staff with returning items that may have been left behind in class, we strongly advise families to ensure the student name has been written on the tag so we may return them to the rightful owner.

Any items that are found without a name will be kept for 2 weeks and if unclaimed, will then be donated.

Sick Bay

If a student is feeling unwell, to keep in line with the Department of Education & Training's Mobile Phone Policy, students are required to go to the Administration Office where a trained First Aid Officer will provide assistance and call parents/guardians if they are too unwell to remain at school and need to go home.

Please note, that the school will only call parents/guardians in regards to an unwell child. The school will never send a text message to advise that their child is unwell and requires collection.

If you have any questions regarding the above or other queries, please call our Administration Team on (03) 5261 6633.

Phone Payments in the Canteen

A reminder that in accordance with the Department’s Mobile Phones Policy issued by the Minister for Education, personal mobile phones must not be used at Surf Coast Secondary College during school hours, including lunchtime and recess, unless an exception has been granted. Where a student has been granted an exception, the student must use their mobile phone for the purpose for which the exception was granted, and in a safe, ethical, and responsible manner.

This means that no student is to use their mobile phone to make a payment in the Canteen.

Students who use their personal mobile phones inappropriately at Surf Coast Secondary College may be issued with consequences consistent with our school’s existing student engagement polices. At Surf Coast Secondary College inappropriate use of mobile phones is any use during school hours including recess and lunch time.

A copy of the Mobile Phone Policy is available on our website at www.surfcoastsecondarycollege.vic.edu.au

More information can also be found on the Department of Education’s website.

Insurance Reminder

Schools and parents/carers are reminded that the Department of Education does not provide personal accident insurance for students.

Parents and guardians are responsible for paying the cost of medical treatment for injured students, including any transport costs.

Student accident insurance policies are available from some commercial insurers. These cover a range of medical expenses not covered by Medicare or private health insurance.

Personal Property Reminder

The Department of Education does not have insurance for personal property of staff, students, and visitors. Surf Coast Secondary College and the Department of Education do not take responsibility for items of personal property that are lost, stolen or damaged at school or during school activities.

Damage to personal property brought to school is the responsibility of the owner of that property. This includes motor vehicles.

Surf Coast Secondary College encourages staff and students not to bring items of value to school, or to obtain appropriate insurance for such items.
