Staff Essential Information

Buses & Excursions

The Deputy Principal (Students) must be notified and advised of any bus bookings and excursions.

Buses

The College has many staff members who are qualified to drive buses and quite willing to help you out with excursions. Bookings can be made through reception, including charter and hire buses. Please note that for bus bookings in the afternoons, staff need to be considerate of College sporting commitments, and therefore must be cleared with the Head of Sport.

Excursions

Excursions are a valuable part of learning. When planning an excursion you should:

1. Lodge an online application through Consent 2 Go. This must be completed at least three weeks prior to the excursion taking place. It is then presented to the weekly meeting of the Leadership Team where discussion will ensue about the suitability of the excursion, the timing and staff that need to accompany. At the conclusion of that meeting the Deputy Principal (Students) will either approve/ disapprove the proposal online. Any excursion outside the College requires parent consent via the Consent 2 Go and staff organising the excursion will need to be aware of parents who have not given consent.

2. Notify teachers who will be impacted by student abseteeism as early as possible

3. Notify the Daily Organiser cwindley@mazenod.vic.edu.au in order to allocate staff to the classes you will be missing

4. Leave instructions for your replacement teacher on MazCom, both on your class page and on the extras tile

5. Inform student counter at studentcounter@mazenod.vic.edu.au

Branding (External College Communication & Publications)

All staff must adhere to the style guidelines and logo requirements as set out in the Branding Site in MazCom.

Staff will also find templates of College letterheads, powerpoints, email signatures and other stationary on MazCom to be used when communicating with the wider community.

All communication and publications made on behalf of the College must be approved by the Development Manager or the Marketing and Communications Coordinator. These include communication or publications via:

• the wider College Community

The Marketing and Communications Coordinator and the Development Manager can also assist in designs and artwork for College publications or communications.
