The Lakes South Morang College has in place policies and practices for the collection, use and disclosure of images of students to ensure compliance with the Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014 (Vic).

Parents/carers are notified upon enrolment and at the commencement of each school year of the ways in which our school may use images of students. There are many occasions during the school year where staff photograph, film or record students participating in school activities or events, for example: classroom activities, sports events, concerts, excursions, camps etc. We do this for many reasons including: e.g. to celebrate student participation and achievement, showcase particular learning programs, document a student ’ s learning journey/camps/excursions/sports events, communicate with our parents/carers and school community in newsletters and on the College Facebook/Instagram page. The Lakes South Morang College will use student images reasonably, appropriately and sensitively, consistent with our obligations under the Child Safe Standards and our school ’ s Child Safety Policy. If at any time a parent/carer or student has a concern about the use of any images they should contact the College.

As a College, we discourage students and parents/carers from taking images of others without their consent.

Policies are available to all families via the Sentral Portal (under Resources) or via our website http://www.thelakes.edu.au/policies -- reports.html
