Media Release
In this modern era we take lots of photographs to celebrate and publicise the work we do at Wantirna College. At enrolment parents are asked to sign a media release to allow these photographs to used within the school and education community.
If you wish to check what permissions you have granted or to change your permissions please contact the General Office.
Unless there is a very good reason we avoid identifying students by name in our online publications and when we do we do so with the students permission and inline with parent consent as provided at enrolment.
Our Facebook page is a great way of keeping up with what is happening at the school. We use this to celebrate the achievements and work of our students and teachers. To ensure student anonymity we never tag students and we only identify them in a post with their permission and in line with the family's media release details. Our Facebook site is monitored daily by our administrators to ensure all commentary is appropriate to the school environment. In appropriate comments are removed and perpetrators are blocked.
