Fees and Notice Required for Withdrawal from the College

I would like to remind parents of the College's Fee Policy and the requirement to set up a payment schedule in Parent Lounge if the account is not paid in full by the noted due date. Please ensure that you organise and set up your payment schedule before 28 February. If payment is not made or set up by this date, please note you are in breach of the College’s fee policy.

I would also like to take the opportunity to remind parents of the College's student withdrawal procedure to ensure the continued planned financial commitments of the College are managed:

When a student is to be withdrawn from the College, or if an enrolment is to be cancelled by the parents, they are required to give the Head of College one term's notice, in writing, before the withdrawal or cancellation date. A term's notice is defined as a full 10-week term plus any holiday periods. However, if withdrawal is to be effective at the end of the College year, written notice must be given by the end of Term 3. Parents/guardians who do not give such a period of notice will be liable to pay the College an amount equal to one term's fees in lieu of such notice.

Marist College Ashgrove Bullying Policy

Marist College Ashgrove says no to bullying.

Bullying can take many forms including:

• Physical bullying which involves physical actions such as hitting, pushing, obstructing or being used to hurt or intimidate someone. Damaging, stealing or hiding personal belongings is also a form of physical bullying. 
• Psychological bullying is when words or actions are used to cause psychological harm. Examples of psychological bullying include name-calling, teasing or making fun of someone because of their actions, appearance, physical characteristics or cultural background.
• Indirect bullying is when deliberate acts of exclusion or the spreading of untrue stories are used to hurt or intimidate someone. 
• Cyberbullying is the ongoing abuse of power to threaten or harm another person using technology. Cyberbullying can occur in chat rooms, on social networking sites, through emails or on mobile phones. 

The College Bullying Policy clearly states that if a student is being bullied, they need to report the bullying to a teacher or leadership team member. On reporting, the member of staff will then follow a rigorous procedure to ensure that the bullying ceases.  Some students are concerned about reporting bullying due to being called names such as a “snitch”.  The bullying policy clearly states that any student who retaliates against another boy for reporting bullying is acting as a bully and consequences will follow.  In other words, boys are protected once they report bullying.
