SCHOOL INSURANCE

REMINDER – the Department (which includes our school) does not have personal accident insurance for students. 

If a student is injured at school or while participating in a school activity (including offsite) and requires medical treatment, parents/carers are responsible for all of their child’s medical expenses. This includes transport costs such as ambulance costs (which may include an air ambulance if considered necessary) 

REMINDER – the Department (which includes our school) does not have personal property insurance for staff and/or students.  

Items of personal property that are lost, stolen or damaged at school or during school excursions are not the responsibility of Glenroy Specialist School or the Department. Staff and students are reminded not to bring items of value to school or on school excursions. 

Glenroy Specialist School encourages parents/carers to consider obtaining their own accident insurance for students and property of value that may be brought to school. 

Parent Payments

Under the Department of Education Parent Payments policy, Victorian government schools are required to provide transparent information to their school community on voluntary parent contributions. Please find above our 'Parent payment arrangements' for 2026.

Refunds

Parent requests for refunds are subject to the discretion of the school and made on a case-by-case basis. Refunds will be provided where the school deems it is reasonable and fair to do so, taking into consideration whether a cost has been incurred, the department's Parent Payment policy and guidance, Financial Help for Families policy and any other relevant information.
