IMPORTANT INFORMATION
COVID-19 Update
Hello SCSC Community,
We are now within the 5 day lock down period which will see us engaged in remote learning from Friday July 16th to Tuesday July 20th. At this stage, students are to return to school on Wednesday July 21st, but we will keep you updated if circumstances change.
Please read over the Parent and Carer Information and also Student Information sheets attached.
STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO CHECK IN WITH THEIR MENTOR TEACHER PRIOR TO 9.30AM USING THE USUAL PROCESS ON CANVAS.
Students were communicated with on Thursday afternoon to take anything home that they may need to continue to learn from home, as we felt that a lock down was imminent. In the case that a student was not at school on Thursday and needs to collect anything, there will be staff available between 10am and 11.30am to assist.
Please email erin.wright@education.vic.gov.au or andrew.brown2@education.vic.gov.au if you need to come to the College. This will only be accommodated for those that need essential items that cannot be done without.
Parents/carers of students that were that were supervised on site last remote learning period have also been emailed directly.
Take care and we look forward to welcoming our students back on site again.
Many thanks
Erin Wright
SCSC College Principal

DET Mobile Phone Policy Reminder
In accordance with the Department’s Mobile Phones Policy issued by the Minister for Education, personal mobile phones must not be used at Surf Coast Secondary College during school hours, including lunchtime and recess (including in the Canteen for payments), unless an exception has been granted.
Please note: if your child presents unwell in class, they are to go straight to the Administration Office and see the First Aid leader. They are not to contact home from their mobile phone, iPad or MacBook requesting someone to collect them. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
College Blazers
We are putting out an expression of interest to families to see if you would like to order a SCSC blazer for your child.
Please note: this is purely an EOI and does not mean an order will be placed for you.
Costs have not been confirmed as we are waiting to see the number of families who are interested, as this will then determine if we place an order with Surfcoast School Stuff.
