Assistant Principal's Report

Term 3 Extended Absence

If your child will be taking extended leave during Term 3, we kindly ask that you notify us as soon as possible. This allows us time to work with families to develop tailored Absence Learning Plans and maintain clear communication throughout the period of absence. Please email Mitch Harris at mitchell.harris@education.vic.gov.au to inform us of any planned absences.

Bring Your Own Device

Mount Beauty Secondary College operates a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) laptop program to support student learning. We encourage all parents and guardians to review the minimum device specifications available on our school website. Students are reminded to bring their laptops to school fully charged, in good condition, and with the necessary software installed. If support is needed, bookings can be made via the IT Support section on our website or through the school office.

If you would like to discuss device options or require support from the school, please contact Mitch Harris at mitchell.harris@education.vic.gov.au

Please note:

There will be changes from Monday 26th May to how school laptops are allocated. To ensure a smooth process, we must receive communication from families before devices are issued. Students will not be able to collect a school laptop unless the required procedures, including signed agreements from both students and parents, are completed.

Getting to School Safely

We have observed an increase in unsafe behaviours around roads and bus stops. We ask for your support in reminding students to:

• Stay clear of turning vehicles
• Use designated crossings and footpaths
• Remain alert and aware of traffic

These practices are essential for the safety of all students and road users.
