A reminder that all messages for students should be made through the office. Please do not contact your child directly via mobile devices.

Consent for use of Student Image and/or Work

At the start of each school year, you are asked to complete a paper form to provide your consent for images of your child to appear in various places (e.g. in school newsletters, social media and promotional material).

From 2023, this form will become digital and will be shared with you as an event in Compass. In the same way that you provide consent for your child to attend an excursion, you will now be able to simply reply to a Compass event to provide (or decline) consent related to the use of your child’s image or works. 

What do you need to do?

During the Christmas vacation period, you will receive a new image consent event in Compass. Please read the details of the event carefully, discuss it with your child, and once you have made your decision, either provide your consent or decline to provide consent.

To ensure that no child misses out on having their photo taken as part of school life, we will occasionally send reminders to parents and carers who have yet to complete the event.

The safety and wellbeing of students is always our first priority. This includes protecting their privacy and respecting the wishes of parents and carers regarding the use of student photos, images and works at all times.

If you have any questions about this change, or the image consent form in general, please contact the school and we will be happy to discuss this further with you.
