Privacy and wellbeing

Our school collects and uses student and parent personal information for standard school functions or where permitted by law, as stated in the Schools’ privacy policy and the Schools’ privacy collection notice.

Our Photographing, Filming and Recording Students policy, describes how we collect and use photographs, video and recordings of students. The policy also explains when parent consent is required and how it can be provided and withdrawn. 

Update your child's photography consent

If you would like to change your child's consent, please:

• complete the Photography, Filming & Recording consent form 
• return it to port.melbourne.ps@education.vic.gov.au. 

Child safety and wellbeing policies

The Victorian Government has announced new Child Safe Standards to further strengthen child safety across organisations, including schools. The new standards recognise the critical importance of families and the broader school community in maintaining and promoting child safety and wellbeing.

Port Melbourne Primary School has reviewed and updated our child safety policies and procedures to ensure they meet the requirements of the new standards. These are available to view on the reports and policies page on our website. 

We are committed to continuous improvement in our approach to child safety and wellbeing and welcome feedback from families and members of our school community on ways we can further strengthen our child safety policies, procedures and practices. 

If you have any suggestions, comments or questions, please contact Port Melbourne Primary School at port.melbourne.ps@education.vic.gov.au or by phone on 9646 1001.
