LATROBE HIGH SCHOOL
Department of Education
School Fair Tomorrow Evening
We hope to see many families at our Twilight School Fair tomorrow 4pm to 8pm. It will be a
wonderful opportunity for our school community to have some fun and explore our newly renovated
school. On Wednesday morning next week, the Minister of Education, Mr Jeremy Rockliff MP, will be
officially opening our redevelopment. As a school and community we are excited to be close to
finishing all the associated works. I would like to thank everyone who has played a role in improving
our environment and providing wonderful facilities for our students to flourish.
Student Leadership
Over the last few weeks, students who have nominated for leadership have been completing their five
minute speeches. It has been evident that students put a lot of thought into compiling their speeches.
Living our school values, supporting the learning environment, building positive relationships, acknowledging past mistakes and continuing to strengthen our Anti-Bullying Program have been
common threads throughout the speeches. Staff and students will be voting on Monday 13 November
for Student Leadership and Grade 9, 2018, School Association Representatives, with the announcement
of the successful candidates during an assembly on Tuesday 28 November. Before the Assembly, we
have planned a light luncheon, so all candidates are aware who made it onto Student Leadership or
School Association. This allows time for students to congratulate and support each other, before the
announcement to the whole school. Resilience is a key school value and we are extremely proud of all
the students who have shown the courage to nominate for leadership positions.
Language
In recent times, we have been noticing some students using foul language in conversation with their
peers, especially during break times. If we are to continue to build a climate of respect and positive
relationships, we cannot tolerate swearing. We ask that parents have a conversation about what is
appropriate language in a school environment. In homeroom today, we outlined our expectations to
students and made them aware that we would be sending letters home to parents if they were swearing
at school. Students who are repeat offenders will be receiving consequences. Thank you for
supporting us with having high expectations of students and making sure the culture at Latrobe High

We have a strict uniform policy. It is
important that PLAIN BLACK shoes (NO COLOUR) are purchased as part of the uniform requirements.
The correct Latrobe High School uniform is available from the school office.
We appreciate parent support in ensuring that all students are in full school uniform. If you have any concerns, please contact the Grade Coordinator. STUDENT ABSENCES
If your child is going to be absent from school due to illness or
for any other reason, you can notify us in the following ways:
· SKOOLBAG APP
simply open the app and go to EFORMS and fill in the absentee
We understand some students may need to leave school during the day to attend appointments. If this is the case, it is
essential they follow the school protocols.
Sickness or Injury
If students need to be collected from school as a result of illness or injury, the office staff will contact parents. Students
should not be contacting parents through their own devices. Students still need to follow the school protocols and sign out
when leaving.
School Protocol
This system is in place to keep our records accurate and ensure the safety of all our students so please help us by following
our protocols.
¨ A note of permission should be provided from the parents if it is a pre-arranged appointment.
¨ Students need to sign out at the front office and sign in, if and when they return to school.
¨ Students must be collected from the front office, not met in the car park or on the road.
¨ The person who collects the student must also sign them out.
IF PARENTS NEED TO CONTACT YOUR CHILD DURING SCHOOL HOURS, YOU ARE ENCOURAGED
TO RING THE SCHOOL OFFICE ON 64261061 AND A MESSAGE WILL BE SENT TO YOUR CHILD.
