School Updates 

REMINDER – the Department (which includes our school) does not have personal accident insurance for students.

If a student is injured at school or while participating in a school activity (including offsite) and requires medical treatment, parents/carers are responsible for all of their child’s medical expenses. This includes transport costs such as ambulance costs (which may include an air ambulance if considered necessary).

The Department (which includes our school) does not have personal property insurance for staff and/or students.

Items of personal property that are lost, stolen or damaged at school or during school excursions are not the responsibility of Merino Consolidated School or the Department of Education.  Staff and students are reminded not to bring items of value to school or on school excursions.

We encourage parents/carers to consider obtaining their own accident insurance for students and property of value that may be brought to school.

Student Free days – Tuesday 27th January, Wednesday 16th December, Thursday 17th December, Friday 18th December
