Overview

A policy is an agreed statement that sets out what the College aims to do, and the guidelines it will use to carry out its activities.  It establishes a unique vision for the College and sets out principles to be followed by those responsible for turning policy into action.

Policy development is the responsibility of the College Council and the Principal. All policies reflect the purpose and goals of the college strategic plan and conform with the requirements of the Victorian Department of Education and Training.

In order to ensure that policies reflect changes in government requirements and improvements in the strategic plan a process for regular review operates in the college.

College policies:

Provide a clear sense of purpose to direct programs, enable effective allocation of resources and consistency in planning and practice across the College.

Provide simple, documented statements which enable staff, parents and students to understand the nature and direction of College programs.

Specify the outcomes required for students in curriculum areas and in support of teaching and learning.

Provide documented statements to assist in the processes of evaluation and College improvement.
