SPORT
Macleod College has an excellent record of sporting success. The college encourages its students to participate in sporting events at all levels and conducts its own swimming and athletics carnivals. It encourages participation in round robin competitions organised by the Victorian State Schools Sports Association.
In addition, the college encourages students to participate in community-based weekend sporting competitions.
STUDENT CONDUCT
Discipline at the college is predicated on the assumption that it is better to reward appropriate behaviour with a view that inappropriate behaviour will be avoided.
It is also a principle that individual student behaviour should not be allowed to stop other students from learning, teachers from teaching or to compromise the safety and health of the community.
Poor behaviour will attract consequences graded so that they are appropriate to the age of the student, the student history and the nature of the offence.
STUDENT INFORMATION
It is imperative that all information regarding contact addresses and telephone numbers for students, parents and emergency contacts is up to date as this information is essential in case of illness or emergency.
All changes should be given to reception staff as soon as possible.
STUDENT LEADERSHIP
Captains
College Captains are elected from Year 12 (Senior), Year 5/6 (Junior) & the International Student Program. International Student Captains work with the leadership group and the International Student Coordinator in supporting activities that engage and support both the International and whole school student body.
The Macleod College Music Academy has Music Captains who play an integral role in the planning, organisation and running of various music events and are each responsible for leading a different ensemble group.
House Captains
Each House has one Captain from Year 10/11 and a House Leader from Years 5/6. They plan and implement house based sporting and non-sporting activities throughout the year.
Student Representative Council
Students from Years 7 - 11 can apply to become members of the Student Representative Council. Students are supervised by Year 12 leadership and plan school and charity fundraising events.
TEXTBOOKS AND STATIONERY
Students are required to obtain all books and stationery prior to the commencement of the school year so that curriculum programs can begin smoothly and effectively.
