School Community Safety Order Scheme

Schools are positive places of learning where everyone has a right to a safe and healthy learning environment. Schools are also workplaces, and school staff deserve to work in an environment where they don’t feel threatened or unsafe.

The School Community Safety Order Scheme has come into effect in all Victorian schools. This Scheme allows Principals and other authorised persons to issue ongoing or immediate school community safety orders to parents/carers who act in a harmful, abusive or threatening way towards staff, students or others in the College community.

Everyone at school, particularly staff and parents/carers, play a role in making school a better place for learning and work. The College Code of Conduct outlines the shared roles parents, carers and school staff have in creating a positive environment. The College also has a new Parent Code of Conduct which explicitly details expected behaviours of parents and carers. Copies of these documents can be found on the College website and in My Aitken.

Our mutual objective is to support your child’s education. To do this, we ask that feedback and complaints are both constructive and respectful.
