School Records
It is a Department of Education (DET) requirement that you keep the college informed of any change to your residential address, phone numbers, email address and emergency contact people.
Students who are on temporary or bridging visa’s also need to ensure the college is provided with any change of visa status or conditions.
Across the year your child’s enrolment record is provided to you (either in printed form or emailed) with a request that you review the detail and make any changes necessary. A Compass notification is posted to advise you this has been done, and we ask that you review and return it promptly.
CSEF (Camps, Sport, Excursion Fund) – if you have a Centrelink Pension or Health Care Card you may be eligible for the CSEF. If you have not already submitted the application form this year these are available from the general office (your child can collect it) or can be downloaded through your Compass portal.
Thank you,
Gayle Whittaker
Registrar
After School Activities
It’s My Shout!
An ex-Brighton SC employee, has set up a website called It’s My Shout which enables people to buy products or services in fire affected areas. For example, you can pay for a virtual coffee or shout a local a haircut.
It’s a brilliant initiative that has been promoted by the Victorian Government, as well as through the media such as The Project and is a means for people to help directly where it’s needed.
Please consider jumping onto the It’s My Shout website and help our fellow citizens in their time of need.

Canteen Menu
ALLERGIES: Please note that we are not a nut-free school and the canteen often uses nuts in their dishes. In addition, while gluten free options are sometimes provided, the canteen make doughs in the kitchen area therefore flour is often in the air and therefore no item can be deemed 100% gluten free.
Info - Consent for Events
Any event (excursion or sports day) that a student is involved in requires online parental consent through Compass.
There are a number of sports days approaching and all students involved need consent for them to be able to leave the school grounds and attend the day.
Email reminders are sent to all parents of those students involved and your assistance with providing consent is greatly appreciated.
It is your child that misses out if consent is not received.
Medical Authority Forms
The DET compliant College Medication Authority Form can be found on Compass under School documents – College information - First Aid. This form must be filled in, signed and returned with any medication that Parents wish First Aid to provide to their student (child), including Panadol (Paracetamol).
The College is no longer authorised to provides Paracetamol and this must be provided by parents for their student individually along with the Medical Authority Form.
