School Policies
The School Policy Templates Portal is used to develop local school policies for Victorian government schools. The portal provides templates that are able to be modified to suit our particular school context. Policies requiring community input and consultation are ratified through school council so that the policy is meaningful to our school setting. You can access our school policies via the links below. Policies are also available from the school office by request.
Schools Privacy Policy - The Department of Education (the department) values your privacy and is committed to protecting information that schools collect. All staff including contractors, service providers and volunteers of the department, and all Victorian government schools (schools), must comply with Victorian privacy law and this policy. This policy explains how Victorian government schools collect and manage personal and health information. Information for parents can be found at this link. This page explains to parents how and why school staff share information about students with other staff when it is necessary for them to be able to perform their role.
