Parent Code of Conduct & Respectful Communication
We are committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and positive school environment for everyone. As part of our duty of care, we must ensure that our workplace remains safe and free from inappropriate or threatening behaviour. Recently, we’ve seen an increase in such behaviour, including raised voices and disrespectful communication directed at staff, particularly our Front Office team.
We kindly remind all parents and guardians of our Parent Code of Conduct, which outlines expectations for respectful interactions. Please take a moment to review it:
Moving forward:
- Breaches of the Parent Code of Conduct will result in a formal warning.
- Continued breaches may impact your child’s enrolment.
If you have concerns, please follow the Grievance Policy to address them appropriately. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our school a respectful and supportive space for all.

District Swimming Carnival
On the 25 February, Good News Lutheran College took 20 students to Werribee Outdoor Pool to compete against other schools in the area at the District Swimming Carnival. As a school we got many top three finishes but special shout out to Callum Wickson, Arielle White, Cyrus Zhan, Ashwin Dubey and the girls relay team who made it to the next stage. The next stage is on the 3 April at Kardinia Aquatic Centre and we wish the students well!
