Learning, Safety and Respect
Student management at Calwell High School aims to assist all students to coexist in harmony with other members of their community. Certain expectations are outlined in the Calwell High School Student Agreement which each student and their parents/carers are asked to sign in recognition of their support of the Student Behaviour and Management Policy.
Student Procedures

Tutor Classes
Each student belongs to a tutor class which they attend each morning in the first period of the daily timetable. The tutor time is used to mark morning attendance, hand out information and organise school wide activities.

Skateboards and scooters: it is preferred that these items are not brought to school. If brought to school they are to be stored in the Scooter Room before Tutor Group and to be collected only after school. No Skateboards, scooters, or similar items are to be used on school grounds during the day.
Contact Details
If students change address, or if phone numbers of parents or carers change, please contact the Front Office so that our records can be updated. This is very important, particularly in the case of emergencies.
Excursions
Excursions are planned by teachers and faculties to compliment and enhance classroom learning in units and courses.
Students are expected to attend excursions when possible.
Students must return required payment, permission notes and medical information and consent forms by the required due date in order to participate in the excursion.
First Aid
If a student feels ill or suffers an injury at school then he/she should let the classroom teacher (or the teacher on playground duty) know. The student will then go to the Front Office to receive treatment and a parent or carer will be notified if necessary. Front office staff will escort the student to sick bay if appropriate.

Lost Property
Students are responsible for their property at school. All items should be labelled clearly. Lost property is handed in to the Front Office. Students may make enquiries at the counter.
