This approval covers excursions for Physical Education and Sport within Ballarat, and walking distance excursions from Ballarat High School in other subjects. Separate permission will be sought for other excursions.

I hereby permit my child to participate in all Physical Education and Sport activities outside the school, and excursions within walking distance of BHS, during 2025 and 2026. I authorise the teacher in charge of the excursion/activity to consent, where it is impracticable to communicate with me, to my child receiving such medical or surgical treatment as may be deemed necessary. I have recorded on the Student Enrolment Form any medical information, which may be useful in the event of an emergency. If the excursion/activity is finishing after school hours, I will make suitable arrangements for my child to return home after being dismissed. *

During the school year there are many occasions and events where staff may photograph, film or record students participating in school activities and events. We do this for many reasons including to celebrate student participation and achievement, showcase learning programs, document a student’s learning journey at camps/excursions/events, communicate with our parents and school community in newsletters etc.

Ballarat High School understands that parents/carers have the right to withhold permission for our school to use photographs, video, or recordings of your child. Full details of this Policy can be found on the BHS website.

The permission granted below is for the duration of my child's time at BHS. It can be withdrawn or changed at any time by contacting the School General Office.

I have read these details and understand the provisions of the BHS Photographing, Filming and Recording Students Policy. I consent to the use of images of my child by Ballarat High School as below: *

Other Publicity Permission

Ballarat High School students, parents and staff communicate, collaborate, and learn using relevant and modern online platforms. As members of a digital learning community, it is essential for all members to develop and maintain a strong sense of digital citizenship.

This Agreement applies to the use of any digital technology at school and during excursions/camps/activities. It also applies outside of school where interactions occur with BHS or members of the school community, including through online services.

Ballarat High School reserves the right to actively monitor students and their online behaviour at school. When students fail to observe this Acceptable Usage Agreement, the School will take appropriate action.

A full version of the Acceptable Use Agreement is included in the Orientation Handbook.

When my child uses digital technologies, they agree to be a safe, responsible, and ethical user at all times. *

My child and I have read and understood the Acceptable Use Agreement *

Ballarat High School is committed to providing a safe and respectful learning environment. The Mobile Phone Use Policy outlines expectations regarding student use of phones and other personal mobile devices during school hours.

This is in accordance with the Department of Education Policy which has determined that students must not use these devices during school hours (8.55am -3.15pm) including recess and lunchtime, unless an exemption has been granted by the Principal.

Full details of this Policy can be found on the BHS website.

If my child brings a mobile phone or similar cellular internet connected device to school, it will be securely stored and not used during school hours, unless an exemption has been granted. I acknowledge that my child may be issued with consequences if they fail to comply with this policy. *

I acknowledge that my child has read and understood the terms of acceptable use and expected standards of behaviour set out within this policy. *

The Ballarat High School Council has determined that a Student Uniform Policy will be applied consistently across the school. The aim of this Policy is to promote personal pride and a strong school identity, whilst respecting cultural norms and providing a safe environment.

All students are required to be in full school uniform during the school day, including travelling to and from school and on excursions etc (unless otherwise specified). A uniform pass may be issued when parents provide a written explanation of special circumstances, and these have been approved by the school.

Full details of this Policy can be found in the Orientation Handbook and on the BHS website.

I have read and understood the Ballarat High School Student Uniform Policy. *
