Payment of Voluntary Contributions
Payment of Voluntary Curriculum Contributions and Extracurricular items/activities can be made on the Compass Parent Portal. If you need any assistance with this, please contact the General Office. If making payments in person, please use contactless card payments where possible. If paying by cash, please try to have the correct amount as we may not have change.
Health
Please advise the school of any health concerns you have for your child. The start of the year is a perfect time to see your doctor to discuss your Asthma requirements and update your plan.
The Year 7 & Year 10 Vaccination dates will be advised on our website as soon as they become available.
Please DO NOT send your child to school if they are unwell.
Students wishing to use the Doctors in Schools Service, which is in operation on a Monday during term time, need to contact the College wellbeing team or fill in the self-referral on Compass.

Personal Items
The Department of Education does not hold insurance for personal property brought to schools, and it cannot pay for any loss or damage to such property. 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. Student accident insurance/ambulance cover policies are available from some commercial insurers and can be obtained by parents/guardians for individual students. 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. Students are discouraged from bringing any unnecessary or particularly valuable items to school.
Students travelling on Public Transport
Primary and secondary school students aged 5 to 18 can travel on a Child Myki. If you’re aged 17 and 18 you must carry proof of age ID (such as a passport, learner permit, driver's licence, Proof of Age card, Key Pass), or proof of another concession entitlement (such as a Health Care Card, a PTV School Student ID or PTV Approved School Student ID).
School students can also purchase a half or full year student pass in their chosen area and must also carry a PTV Approved School Student ID card or PTV School Student ID card.
