SWPBS
Sale College embarked on this School Wide Positive Behaviour Support journey at the beginning of 2012 in an attempt to further develop the already improving school culture. SWPBS establishes a school culture in which appropriate behaviour is the norm for all students. It provides a positive and engaging school environment for the whole school community. With links to the Student Values and Expectations Matrix, which is displayed in every classroom and working space, www.salecollege.vic.edu.au/SWPBS.html At Sale College, we have a number of systems across the campus for positive re-enforcement that are aimed to meet the needs of the student’s short-term, mid-term and long-term incentives. At Sale College we have established a system to correct behaviour and re-teach the appropriate alternative without emotion and confrontation from our teachers. Students are provided with individualised reteaching sessions where they are supported to reflect on behaviour and set goals for the future.
School Values The core ethos of the College is to provide an environment where all students learn and seek advice and assistance. It is also about policies and practices designed to enhance the well-being of each student. Sale College expects that all students will:
Enjoy their studies.
Be challenged in all activities to achieve levels of excellence.
Develop the skills of learning and gain satisfaction and confidence from their developing abilities.
Be treated individually
Be supported by a welfare program.
Respect themselves, teachers, other students and the workplace.
Work with teachers and parents as a team to ensure that they receive a quality education in our college. The Sale College Student Code of Conduct supports the values of Respect, Achievement and Belonging and was developed by staff and students. It includes both the rights and responsibilities of every student.
Student Wellbeing & Engagement Team At Sale College we have a strong Wellbeing team of specialty trained professionals consisting of:
If students need to see someone from the team, appointments can be made through the front office. All members of the Wellbeing Team can be approached to discuss any concerns that a student or parent may have. All information disclosed remains confidential. We encourage students and parents to contact us if a student is having any difficulties.
Doctors in Schools Sale College was successful in being selected to participate in the Victorian Government’s Doctors in Secondary Schools program. As part of this program, an adolescent-trained GP (general practitioner) Iain Nicholson from Sale Medical Centre will be operating on school grounds each Tuesday morning from 9am – 1pm to provide free access to primary health care for secondary students at our school. The GP will provide students with the same services as the kind normally provided by GPs in the community, including seeing students about their physical and mental health, and sexual and reproductive health issues. GPs may also make referrals to other health services as required. The GP will bulk bill consultations through Medicare, so there will be no out-of-pocket expenses for this service for your family. This program is not designed to replace any existing medical arrangements your family may have in place. The GP in the school can provide a convenient alternative to primary care within schools hours, and encourage health care access to those students without an existing relationship with a GP. The program is intended to provide better access to primary care for secondary
school students. If you would like to make an appointment please call or text 0437 513 410 or contact either campus front office.
Attendance All students at Sale College are expected to attend all scheduled classes and events as per the Department of Education and Training Attendance Policy. Any absences must be explained by Parents/Guardians and medical certificates should be supplied in the instances of illness. Parent/Guardians will receive a text message if their child is absent.

Laptop Program We have been pleased to have been able to offer all of our student’s access to a laptop computer over recent years. Our 1:1 student laptop program has been very successful with over 95% of students participating and having access to the latest technology. In 2020 we will commence to strengthen this program by purchasing 330 state of the art Laptops with a full Microsoft platform. The new lap-top will be rolled out to Year 7 and 10 students annually. The students will keep this laptop for three years and then receive a new one for their remaining three years at the college. All Laptops are installed with DEECD approved software, covered by insurance and war-ranty, and technical support for the life of the 3 year contract. Details regarding costs associated for loss or damage under the insur-ance policy, Laptop specifications, student user agreement and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) are included below. Please com-plete the user agreement and return it together with the required non-refundable ($200 Per Year) payment to the office on either campus. The forms and payment need to be returned by 6th December 2019. Late return of forms will lead to a delay in allocation during term 1 2020.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Will students use computers ‘too much’ for schoolwork? The Laptop will complement the existing school curriculum at Sale College by providing appropriate digital learning tools in balance with more traditional learning tools. The goals of the curriculum are supported, not replaced, by the use of Laptop. Students will use Laptops where they serve a purpose, for instance, in research, data analysis and generating presentations. Wireless access will allow for ‘just-in-time’ learning where students can search for information or collaborate with others in a real-time context. Students will be able to use their school files at home and be able to collaborate with their peers on projects through social networking. How can Laptops improve learning? With greater access to real-time information, digital learning resources, educational software and collaborative workspaces, students experience higher levels of motivation and engagement in their learning. Typically students experience initial improvement in areas such as organisational and technological skills, revision, writing and editing work. With the development of presentations and other multimedia projects, students experience subsequent improvement in ana-lytical, presentation and speaking skills. Involvement in ‘virtual workspaces’ creates opportunities for collaboration and communication, improving relationships in the class-room through a greater level of interaction between students, their peers and their teachers. A networked environment, where it is easy to share developing work and research with peers and teachers, is the environment students will live and work in during second-ary school and the future. Students working together and providing solutions to real-world problems will create links beyond the classroom and move levels of thinking beyond a simple knowledge framework to complex analysis and evaluation. Laptops will promote increased levels of learning both in and out of school with an emphasis on higher-order thinking, creative think-ing and expression. How will Laptops be used in the classroom? This is a technology-rich world and students are immersed in digital technology in their out-of-school lives. Schools can either capital-ise on young people’s affinity for technology or fail to engage them in learning, and be perceived as more and more irrelevant. The use of Laptop in the classroom will evolve over time as students and teachers become more familiar with Laptops and so will be able to optimise the advantage of their use to support teaching and learning in the classroom, wherever that classroom may be. For example, we may soon see a class where students create a podcast of their original poetry, accompanied by a soundtrack they have written and enhanced with their own digital images to share with the world. The Laptop can be used to record and document information, then share learning. In art, students can research projects on various artists then use the Laptop as a medium to create their own drawings as well as clay animations. Students in science could attach probes for data analysis and physical education may involve analysing patterns of movement. Staff and students will collaborate to use the Laptop as a tool that develops the student as information seeker, analyser and evaluator, problem-solver and decision-maker. They will use programs to create ways in which to communicate their findings and become pub-lishers of their own work. Will learning outcomes be evaluated differently? Students will continue to be evaluated against the Essential Learning Standards (AusVELs), Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) and Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL). Laptop complement the existing school curriculum by providing digital learning tools that link in with planned classroom activities. Wireless access points at schools will foster collaboration and teamwork, allowing stu-dents to search for information together and share the learning experience. What about handwriting? Students will continue to write with paper and pen and work to improve their handwriting as well as use the keyboard. Won’t students be able to ‘cheat’ by using the spell checker? The spell checker is a tool to allow students immediate feedback on the correct spelling of words they use. It supplements our existing school spelling program, but does not replace it.
How will parents continue to be informed about the integration of Laptop into the curriculum? The college newsletters and website will provide updates to the whole school community about the use of the Laptops by students and teachers in and out of the classroom. How will teachers be trained and supported? All teachers at Sale College have completed the ePotential ICT Capabilities Survey and set ICT professional learning goals as a result. Peer support is a strong element for success and teachers will be involved in mentoring and coaching each other to complement their growing ICT capabilities. What about safe internet use? Laptop offer students a tool to facilitate anytime, anywhere learning. Teachers will supervise students as they would for any learning activity as they create and maintain a safe, comfortable and learning-focused classroom. Appropriate use of the internet service within the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) network is closely monitored by a filtering system which al-lows for inappropriate content blocking by a regularly updated list of categories and sites. This does not apply to use of Laptop outside of the school network. Education and support are important for maintaining acceptable use of Laptop, particularly in relation to inter-net access. Sale College has an Acceptable Use Policy which all students and parents will have to sign to ensure appropriate use of tech-nology and the internet. A specific Laptop User Agreement has been developed to include the use of Laptop, which parents and stu-dents will also be required to sign. However, it is important that teachers, students and parents share the responsibility to ensure safe and responsible use of Laptop at all times. Will children be safe carrying Laptops? Overseas research has shown that insurance companies have reported very few incidents while students travel to and from school. Students should be specifically warned not to take the Laptops out in public, and to carry them in the protective bag provided. Are these Laptops going to add to the heavy loads students carry from home to school? This Laptop has been deliberately chosen for a number of reasons, including its weight specifications. At around one kilogram the Lap-top is light enough for students to carry without incurring problems. The Laptop should not be packed into the bottom of an oversized backpack with other books and items, because this can lead to a com-pression fracture of the screen. Will the student files on the Laptops be private? As Sale College will maintain ownership of the Laptop, students can expect their Laptop to be periodically inspected and monitored for appropriate usage. School personnel may request access to the browser history and/or caches as well as any and all files belonging to the student resident on the Laptop as well as stored on the school servers. Students and parents need to be aware that files stored lo-cally on the Laptop or on school servers are not private. Can students bring their own Laptop from home instead? Students will not be able to bring their own Laptop to school instead of the Laptop supplied. Home Laptop will not be configured to the school network, they can be a source of viruses and are often not enabled with the licensed software. Home Laptops cannot use the school image due to licensing arrangements and maintenance issues may not be resolved in an appropriate time frame. What about damages to the Laptop, does the $200 fee cover these? Fortunately the $200 fee includes an insurance premium. Although we expect all students to look after their Laptops in their supplied cases, we do understand that accidents happen. A list of damages and their costs are listed in the student agreement section. Students are required to notify the technicians as soon as the damage has occurred to ensure that the Laptop is repaired and returned to the student as soon as possible, reducing the class time without a Laptop. Please note that deliberate acts of damage will not be covered. How long do repairs take for Laptop, will students get in trouble for not having a Laptop? Students will be issued with an Out of Order Card when their Laptop is in for repairs to show their teachers. This card will have an esti-mated repair date. Laptop loans are available if Laptop repair will be longer than 3 days. Students will be reissued with their Laptop once the full damage costs have been paid. Parents will be required to complete an insurance claim form and return to the college with the $50 or $250 for theft excess fee. The Laptop will be lodged for repairs with the insurance company.

To explain to our school community the Department’s and Sale College policy requirements and expectations relating to students using mobile phones during school hours SCOPE This policy applies to: 1. All students at Sale College and, 2. Students’ personal mobile phones brought onto school premises during school hours, including recess and lunchtime.
DEFINITIONS A mobile phone is a telephone with access to a cellular (telecommunication) system, with or without a physical connection to a network POLICY Sale College understands that students may bring a personal mobile phone to school, particularly if they are travelling independent-ly to and from school. At Sale College:
Students who choose to bring mobile phones to school must have them switched off and securely stored during school hours, which is in their lockers, year level offices or front offices.
Exceptions to this policy may be applied if certain conditions are met (see below for further information)
When emergencies occur, parents or carers should reach their child by calling the school’s office. Personal mobile phone use In accordance with the Department’s Mobile Phones Policy issued by the Minister for Education, personal mobile phones must not be used at Sale College during school hours, including lunchtime and recess, unless an exception has been granted. Where a student has been granted an exception, the student must use their mobile phone for the purpose for which the exception was granted, and in a safe, ethical and responsible manner. Secure storage Mobile phones owned by students at Sale College are considered valuable items and are brought to school at the owner’s (student’s or parent/carer’s) risk. Students are encouraged not to bring a mobile phone to school unless there is a compelling reason to do so. Please note that Sale College does not have accident insurance for accidental property damage or theft. Students and their parents/carers are encouraged to obtain appropriate insurance for valuable items.
Where students bring a mobile phone to school, Sale College will provide secure storage. Secure storage is storage that cannot be readily accessed by those without permission to do so. At Sale College students are required to store their phones in their own lock-ers. Students are not to store their phones in a friends’ locker nor should any they allow other students to store mobile phones in their locker. Furthermore students should ensure that no other person can access their locker. Enforcement Students who use their personal mobile phones inappropriately at Sale College may be issues with consequences consistent with our school’s existing student engagement policies. At Sale College inappropriate use of mobile phones is any use during school hours, unless an exception has been granted, and partic-ularly use of a mobile phone:
in any way that disrupts the learning of others
to send inappropriate, harassing or threatening messages or phone calls
to engage in inappropriate social media use including cyber bullying
to capture video or images of people, including students, teachers and members of the school community without their per-mission
to capture video or images in the school toilets, changing rooms, swimming pools and gyms during exams and assessments Exceptions
Exceptions to the policy:
may be applied during school hours if certain conditions are met, specifically,
Health and wellbeing-related exceptions; and
Exceptions related to managing risk when students are offsite.
can be granted by the principal, or by the teacher for that class, in accordance with the Department’s Mobile Phones Policy.
The three categories of exceptions allowed under the Department’s Mobile Phones Policy are:
1. Learning-related exceptions
2. Health and wellbeing-related exceptions
3. Exceptions related to managing risk when students are offsite
Where an exception is granted, the student can only use the mobile phone for the purpose for which it was granted.
Camps, excursions and extracurricular activities
Sale College will provide students and their parents and carers with information about items that can or cannot be brought to camps, excursions, special activities and events, including personal mobile phones. In general, mobile phones can be brought onto camps/excursions but certain restrictions may be put in place during the camp.
