Policies & Publications

We invite new families to look through our Prospectus to find out more about the Victory difference.

All schools in Australia receive funding from State and Federal Governments. As part of the requirements for funding, schools need to provide some information about their performance. Such information is complex and multi-faceted and therefore we suggest that prospective parents speak to College staff and tour the College themselves. Please note that the Annual Report to the College community refers to information from the previous year.

Victory Lutheran College is committed to being a Child Safe organisation. Victory Lutheran College has a zero tolerance for child abuse and is committed to acting in the children's best interests and in keeping them safe from harm. Victory Lutheran College regards its child protection responsibilities with the utmost importance and as such, is committed to providing the necessary resources to ensure compliance with all relevant child protection laws and regulations and maintain a child safe culture.

This policy defines the principles and procedures regarding complaints and conflict resolution at Victory Lutheran College. Complaints Relating to Child Protection Incidents There may, at times, be concerns or complaints relating to the College’s Child Protection Program, for example regarding the College’s management of a child protection incident. When a child protection-related complaint is made, the College will first consider whether the complaint raises any concerns about unreported abuse and/or risk of abuse at the College. If concerns of this nature are raised by the complainant, the College’s Procedures for Responding to, and Reporting Child Protection Incidents, should be followed. Child protection complaints that do not raise concerns of unreported abuse, or risk of abuse at the College will be managed in the same manner as other complaints received by the College. The complaints will be recorded to ensure that any further developments relating to the same incident or issue are monitored.

Victory Lutheran College provides counselling services for its students as part of its pastoral care program. These are provided through counsellors employed by the College. Students are encouraged to make use of these services if they need assistance. However, there are a number of things that students and their parents/guardians should know before using the counselling service.

College carparks are busy places. Please refer to the Traffic Management Guidelines for an overview of the different carparks, access times and how to help the College ensure the safety and smooth flow of traffic at peak times.

Familes are encouraged to read more about our goals and vision for the future in the Victory 20 20 Strategic Vision.
