Student Mobile Phone Management  

Link: Student Mobile Phone Management Policy  

The Victorian Government views the safe and responsible use of digital technologies, student safety and wellbeing, and the development of social skills and positive behaviour as paramount. From Term 1 2020, students who choose to bring mobile phones to school must have them switched off and securely stored during school hours.  

Opportunities for students at recess and lunchtime to communicate with each other face-to-face or be involved in physical activity are valued over and above the use of mobile phones and social media. Eltham High School’s Student Mobile Phone Management Policy outlines the requirements of the Minister for Education relating to students using mobile phones during school hours. 

Student Engagement and Inclusion

We aim to work together with the school community to ensure that the school is a harmonious and worthwhile place to be, where individual rights are respected, and students are supported and encouraged to strive for excellence.  

The Student Engagement and Inclusion Policy is underpinned by the school’s Purpose Statement: At Eltham High School each person feels safe to be themselves; and each person is challenged to think critically, to work in teams, to show leadership, and achieve success along many pathways.  

Visitors to School  

Link: Visitors to the School Policy 

Eltham High School strives to create an open and inclusive school community and encourages parents and carers to be actively involved in their child’s development and education. We aim to provide a safe and secure learning and teaching environment for students and staff by establishing processes to monitor and manage visitors to the school. Our policy outlines requirements for visitors to the school, such as visiting during the school’s hours of instruction, sign-in procedures and requirements for Working with Children Check cards. 

We further encourage all visitors to familiarise themselves with our school’s Statement of Values, Child Safe Policy, Statement of Commitment to Child Safety, and Child Safe Code of Conduct.
