Important Information

Privacy Considerations

Just as we have privacy policies governing the sharing of student material everyone needs to  be aware of the need to not share materials produced by the school.  

Any material produced by the school, MUST NOT be shared, reproduced or published in any other way, without the written consent from the school. I ask that you consider our staff in this context. The learning tasks developed, accompanied by the videos is work that we have put a great deal of effort into. We do not post this work in the online environment for praise or public scrutiny – the only purpose is to educate your children. You can imagine how vulnerable and exposed our staff will feel if videos of themselves are shared (even if the intentions are to highlight how wonderful our lessons are) – just as your professional documents and files are not for public display, neither are our teachers – please privilege them their privacy. If I am made aware of this breach of privacy, I will be addressing this with parents/carers directly.

Onsite Learning Applications

Department of Education and Training Secretary continues to communicate  about the importance of learning from home. The advice of the Victorian Chief Health Officer is that – all children who can learn from home, must learn from home, to help slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). 

Below is an application form from the Department of Education for on-site attendance. If you feel you have grounds to request your child attend school you must complete and return the attached application to the school email. This application will be reviewed and you will be informed if your application has been successful or otherwise. No child is permitted to be on the school grounds without the approval, by the school principal, through an official application.

Application forms must be submitted weekly by Thursday 3.00pm for approval for attendance the following week with a decision communicated on the Friday by 3.00pm.

Reach Assessment

As it is still an unknown when we will be returning to school, we have moved the Reach Assessments to be online. The dates have also changed. Students who have returned forms will still be able to sit these tests, and will be notified of the changes and how to access the assessments themselves at a later date.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me on Sentral.
