These procedures apply to all principals and college managers. They support the Visitors and Dignitaries at Public Schools and Residential Facilities policy.

Schools and residential facilities need to have appropriate security measures in place to protect school property and ensure a safe and secure environment for staff and students. A variety of approaches are needed for implementation of effective security.

This CEO Instruction imposes an interim ban on the outdoor use of inflatable amusement structures, including bouncy castles and zorb balls, in public schools. This also applies to situations where school facilities are hired out or otherwise made available to the community or other third parties.

Access to Department online services and Department owned devices is provided to assist the Department in achieving its goals. The Department expects employees to use these resources in an ethical, legal, appropriate and acceptable manner.

The Department is one of the few government agencies providing secure parking for staff and visitors. Parking facilities provided to Department staff are considered to be a privilege and not an entitlement.

This policy requires principals and school staff, to undertake self assessment, planning and reporting processes. It incorporates school compliance reporting and requirements related to the Standards Review and the Expert Review Group.

The Department of Education provides support for gifted and talented students to achieve their best possible learning outcomes.
