Annual privacy reminder for our school community

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 The policy also explains when parent consent is required and how it can be provided and withdrawn.

We ask parents to also review the guidance we provide on how we use Google Workspace for Education safely at the school and what parents can do to further protect their child’s information. If after reviewing the guidance, you have any questions or concerns regarding your child using Google Workspace for Education, please contact the school.

For more information about privacy, refer to: Schools’ privacy policy: information for parents. This information is also available in ten community languages:

Amharic
Arabic
Chinese
Dari
Gujarati

COMPASS Permissions

There are a number of permissions we need to collect at the beginning of the year. These permissions are already on COMPASS (Head Lice Inspection, Consent to Use Student Images, Use of Student Images on Mothers’ and Fathers’ Day, ICT Acceptable Use Agreement and Google Apps Consent). If parents have not completed these permissions, can we please ask for these to be completed as soon as possible? [If you can’t locate your email, please go to your profile in COMPASS, then select the Insights tab. You can then select Permissions 2026).

Dr Cranky's Bike Checks

We would like to thank Stonnington Council for their support of Dr Cranky's Bike Checks at our school over the last 2 weeks. We see this as an important aspect of reducing conjestion and therefore student safety as they get to and go home from school each day. Later this term we will be celebrating Ride to School Day, watch COMPASS for more information.

Students Arriving Late

Parents are reminded that if their child arrives to school after 9.05 that they must be signed in at the office.

Parents cannot drop their children off at the gate, they must accompany them into the office to sign them in - our children are too young to sign themselves in.

We acknowledge that this may be inconvenient for some families, however it is for the safety of the children that we require the parent to accompany them into school.

Reporting Absences

Parents are asked to go to the COMPASS Portal to enter the reason for their child’s absence before 9.30 am the day of their absence. If parents have not recorded the reason by 9.30am you will receive an automated text, requesting that you go to the COMPASS Portal to record your child’s absence. If parents know in advance that their child will be absent or that the absence will be over several days, it can be entered in advance.

We ask that parents do not email their child’s teacher as sometimes the emails are not read before school.
