LEVIES
Please be reminded that College Levies were due in full before the commencement of 2019 unless prior arrangement has been made. Thank you to the families who have paid in full or have arranged an approved payment/instalment plan. It is an expectation that Essential Student Learning Items are paid to support the provision of quality materials and items. All funds collected as Essential Student Learning Items provide the only budget to our teachers (i.e. classroom materials for students). Students chose subjects and families approved the choice of electives in 2018, therefore subjects have been planned and costed according to the commitments made by families.
The college will be making contact with families shortly who may have overlooked making these payments. Alternately can these families please contact the office to check the amounts outstanding. We rely on the college community to partner with us in supporting the learning of our children so that the high standards expected of Mount Eliza Secondary College can be maintained.

STUDENT INSURANCE
Parents are reminded that Department of Education and Mount Eliza Secondary College do not provide personal accident insurance for students. Parents and guardians are responsible for the cost of medical treatment for injured students and transport costs including Ambulance transport in an emergency situation.
Student accident insurance policies are available for purchase through a number of insurance companies. Mount Eliza Secondary College is not in a position to recommend an insurance company as this is a personal choice depending on your circumstances.
Parents are also reminded that Department of Education and Mount Eliza Secondary College do not provide insurance for personal possessions of any description including motor vehicles, for damage or theft at the College or on the College grounds. If insurance coverage is required we recommend you contact your insurance provider for further information.
MIDDLE YEARS PROGRAM
Demonstration of the Learner Profile- Middle Years Program
Have you seen a recent ‘Green’ Compass Post for your student? This year, students in the Middle Years Program are being rewarded for going above and beyond in their demonstration of the Learner Profile attributes. The Learner Profile aims to develop learners who are:
- Inquirers
- Knowledgeable
- Thinkers
- Communicators
- Principled
- Open-minded
- Caring
- Risk-takers
- Balanced
- Reflective
Students who have received the most nominations for these attributes will be rewarded with a special excursion at the end of each Semester. We encourage parents to check Compass regularly and discuss the chronicle entries and learning tasks with your child. We would also love to hear about how students may be demonstrating the Learner Profile attributes in our local community too!
