Principal's Report

Incursions and Excursions Galore

Incursions and excursions play an important part in adding and amplifying to the learning that happens in classrooms every day. In the last week we have had many examples of this, particularly in the junior end of the school. As part of their biology unit, year 7 students consolidated their understanding of food webs and human impact on natural ecosystems at the Melbourne Zoo. In the middle of the week we had a visit from La Mana Pasifika. The week ended with a year 8 Love Bites incursion and a year 7 Respectful Relationships Incursion. We would like to thank the proactive policing unit for their participation in the last two events.   

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.
