Respectful Behaviour within the School Community

Dear Coburg High Community,

When parents, carers and school staff work together as one team, our students do better. Everyone at school, particularly staff and parents/carers, play a role in making school a better place for learning and work.

Parents, carers and school staff have a relationship that can last many years. This is an opportunity to work together to create a positive relationship in the best interests of your child. When this relationship is built on respect and trust, students learn better and feel like they belong in the school.

Every member of our school community has a right to feel safe and be protected. 

The department’s Respectful Behaviours within the School Community Policy describes the positive behaviour expected from parents, carers, and other adults in Victorian school communities. The policy sets clear standards of behaviour to create a safe, respectful, and inclusive learning environment for students, staff and adults.

There are also resources to support safe and respectful relationships in our school community, including information about getting involved in the school, advice on how to raise a concern or complaint, and parenting support resources. You can find the policy and these resources here.

You may also see a  new poster up around our school, promoting positive behaviour.

For more information on how to engage positively with our school, please contact the school via info@coburg.vic.edu.au

CHS Clubs

At CHS we have a wide range of clubs available to students outside of class time. We encourage families to take a look at this timetable and see if there is something of interest to your child. A new addition is our Volleyball Club; a student run club that is a big success!

Pool lifeguard opportunities for students aged 16+

If you are interested in becoming qualified to apply for pool lifeguard jobs when you turn 16yo, Merri-bek Council are funding a completely subsidised training course, combining a Pool Lifeguard Certificate and Level 2 First Aid Certificate - worth over $500. Spots are extremely limited, but if you are interested, this is a great gateway role into the industry. Here's a link to follow up.
