COLLEGE  INFORMATION 

SCHOOL COUNCIL 

Hi I’d like to introduce myself I’m Stephen Baker this year’s President of the MESC School Council. School Council is an important part of the governance of the school and its functions are enshrined in legislation. Council’s principal tasks are management and oversight of the budget, school facilities and other policies that affect the college. The council is not involved in the delivery of education and or management of staff but reviews performance and assists in planning the strategic plan which is critical for the future direction of the college. The council reviews the activities of subcommittees such as finance and building and grounds. We are there to represent the school community and we welcome any feedback or suggestions on college policies; as such I can be contacted on Stephen.Baker3@education.vic.gov.au  or you can pass any messages on to the college’s administration team and they will pass them on. 

We have had representations from both the school and wider communities that there are people that would love to assist the college in various ways; such an opportunity exists and the best mechanism would be the formation of a Parent and Friends club. To form such a club would involve several interested parents attending a meeting for that purpose, to facilitate this we will be calling a meeting early next term so please keep a look out.

Parents are reminded that the Department of Education and Mount Eliza Secondary College do not provide personal accident insurance for students. 

Parents and guardians are responsible for the cost of medical treatment for injured students and transport costs including Ambulance transport in an emergency situation.

Student accident insurance policies are available for purchase through a number of insurance companies. Mount Eliza Secondary College is not in a position to recommend an insurance company as this is a personal choice depending on your circumstances.

Parents are also reminded that Department of Education and Mount Eliza Secondary College do not provide insurance for personal possessions of any description including motor vehicles, for damage or theft at the College or on the College grounds. If insurance coverage is required we recommend you contact your insurance provider for further information.
