Principal's Report

Swimming Sports

I would like to congratulate our whole Staughton Family on an excellent Swimming Carnival last Friday. We had terrific numbers in attendance. The swimming carnival is a great way for our whole community to connect and have fun. I particularly enjoyed the staff versus students relay at the end! I would like to congratulate Jesse Sciberras on his careful preparation that makes this event such a success. 

School Council Election – Student School Council Members

Since 2018 all Victorian government schools with students in year 7 and above will have two Student Member positions on School Council. This year there are two places that has become vacant. Forms to nominate student members of council are available at the student window of the front office. Nominations will close at 3.30 Monday 6th March   

Student members of school council will have the same role and responsibilities as other council members, including full voting rights. Student members will be expected to prepare for and attend all council meetings, in line with the requirements for school councillors.

Child safe

In response to the Royal Commission into Institutional Reponses to Child Sexual Abuse, all schools are required to implement minimum Child Safety Standards. At Staughton College, we hold the care, safety and wellbeing of children and young people as a central and fundamental responsibility of our school. We have fully implemented all of the standards, including a Child Safe Policy and Code of Conduct. Both of these documents can be found on our website. I will be regularly reminding our school community of these policies as part of our ongoing commitment to the safety and wellbeing of the children in our care.
