Concussion - important information

If your child has experienced a concussion outside of the school setting it is important that they rest for a period of 24 to 48 hours and then gradually return to activities after this time. Returning to school can be a graduated approach with the aim of increasing tolerance to a full day, the same situation could occur with sporting activities. It is always important to check with your doctor and seek medical treatment after a child sustains a concussion.

It is important to inform the school if your child has sustained a concussion outside of school; this is to ensure the school can monitor your child’s wellbeing and adapt activities as required.

This factsheet from the Royal Children’s Hospital is valuable to read and understand.

There is also a great evidence-based app from the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute that walks you through what to do in the result of a concussion.

Important information regarding School Bus Program

School Bus Program - Student Travel System

The School Bus Program provides travel assistance to eligible students in regional and rural Victoria with access to safe and reliable transport to and from school through a network of managed bus services.

What is changing?

The department is introducing the new Student Travel System (STS), which will replace the existing Student Travel Assistance Portal (STAP). 

From Term 4, 2026, parents and carers will need to use the new STS to manage school bus travel for their children.

There are no changes to the School Bus Program policy. The eligibility criteria, application assessment, and bus allocation processes, remain the same.  

What do parents and carers need to do? 

In late September 2026, all existing parents and carers will receive an email with details on how to log into the new system and how to reset their password, which now includes multi-factor authentication steps as a further layer of data security.

Users will be able to log in to the new STS and view their travel details, and if no changes are required, no actions are needed.

Please contact the School Bus Program team on schoolbus@education.vic.gov.au or call us on 1800 338 663, if you have any queries or have not received your new log in details during early Term 4.  

Just a reminder to school bus travellers on the wearing of seatbelts.

Contact details and Student Medical Details

Just a friendly reminder if your contact details have changed could you please advise the Front Office so we can amend our records accordingly.

Also if you could please update your child's medical profile on PAM if their medical details have changed. 

We thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Student Safety

Students are reminded to take extra care when crossing roads around the College, particularly near parked cars where visibility can be limited. Please use the pedestrian crossing at the front of the school and avoid crossing between parked vehicles. Taking a few extra seconds to cross safely and stay aware of traffic is important for everyone.
