Master Plan

Clairvaux has appointed a firm of architects to facilitate the drawing up of our building Master Plan next term. We welcome Morton and Co, a Geelong based company to work with us.

We invite parents who may have a special interest or talent in master plans to please submit their expressions of interest in joining our reference group. We are looking for two more members to join our leadership team in this process and be part of shaping the future of our school.

Please fill in this google form by the end of the school holidays and we will be in touch next week to let you know if you have been successful or not with your application.

Expressions of Interest




Child safety

Just to update you on how we are continuing to enhance the learning experience for your children this term, our dedicated staff have been busy engaging in professional development activities aimed at supporting your child's overall growth and safety.

At the heart of our efforts is our commitment to cater to the needs of every student. This term, our teachers have been diving into National Consistent Collection of Data (NCCD) procedures, ensuring that each child receives the support and adjustments they need to thrive and taking time to document this.

In addition, our educators have been brushing up on behavior management techniques and learning more about explicit instruction (EI) and routines. This means they're getting better at teaching in a clear and structured way, ensuring that every child can understand and participate fully in class.

Of course, safety is always our top priority. That's why our staff have been trained in handling emergencies like epilepsy and anaphylaxis, as well as in CPR. We're also making sure we're up to date on all the latest safety protocols, whether it's digital safety or ensuring a safe physical environment.

Compliance awareness is also a priority. From mandatory reporting modules to stringent adherence to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) protocols and child safe standards, our staff are unwavering in their dedication to upholding the highest standards of accountability and protection.

We know how important it is for you to trust that your child/ren are in good hands when they're at school. That's why we take compliance and child safety seriously in everything we do. From making sure attendance is tracked properly to following strict guidelines for reporting any concerns, we're committed to keeping your child safe and supported every step of the way.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education and well-being. Together, we're creating a nurturing environment where every child can flourish.
