2021 Business Notice Bacchus Marsh Grammar CONTENTS - Page 18 - 6.7.6 BMG Facebook Page The BMG Facebook Page is an alternative platform of communication within our School Community. It has been set up in order to share special interest articles provide useful updates and strengthen the School’s brand. Social media is an integral part of society and how we form, create and share information within our community. However, if social media is inappropriately used, serious issues can arise. As such, the School requests all parents exercise their best judgment and carefully consider the content and appropriateness of any communications made via this format. 6.7.7 Exclusion from Multimedia* Parents will be sent an annual Edsmart notification regarding the use of school multimedia and providing them with an opportunity to ‘opt out’ and exclude their child/ren from appearing in school publications (including Yearbook, Grammarian and weekly BMG newsletter), school website, social media, advertising or external media. Generally school multimedia involving current students may be obtained throughout throughout the school year by BMG staff, a contracted photographer or in limited circumstances external media outlets (eg. local newspaper). Non completion of the annual notification will result in your child/red being automatically included in all school multimedia and uses by the School. *Multimedia is defined as photography, video, audio or any other form of electronic recording. Note: This does not apply to the official School Photos of students and their classes. Should you have any questions, please contact the Marketing & Social Media Coordinator on 5366 4800. 6.8 Camps and Excursions Year level school camps and excursions are compulsory for all students , except when permission for an exemption has been granted by the Deputy Principal or their delegate. Parents/guardians are required to complete and sign a permission form, which includes relevant medical information, before a student is allowed to attend a camp or excursion. Parents/guardians must provide permission for teaching staff to seek appropriate medical treatment for students when required and agree to meet all future medical expenses that may result. Students who have not returned a completed and signed permission form will be excluded from the excursion. Parents/guardians are not entitled to any refund or fee relief if a student does not attend a school camp or excursion. 6.9 Canteen/Cafeteria Canteen facilities are available at both the Maddingley and Woodlea campuses.

All information on the Junior and Senior School lunch ordering procedures are available on the website : www.bmg.vic.edu.au/community 6.10 Student Accident Insurance 6.10.1 Accident Insurance Coverage The School has put in place an Insurance cover for students who may have injured themselves during School activities. The Insurance cover provides limited coverage of non-Medicare related expenses that have been incurred by parents/guardians for medical treatment of injuries incurred by students. Please note the policy does not provide coverage for expenses for which you receive a Medicare refund; it does not cover the gap between the actual fees charged and the Medicare rebate. This coverage does not remove the responsibility of the parent/guardian to meet any current or future medical expenses that may arise from an incident involving their child. The coverage is in place to provide some financial assistance for parents/guardians in meeting these obligations. Parents/guardians should contact the Administration Office for claim forms or download the form from the Bacchus Marsh Grammar website. 6.10.2 Ambulance Transport The School’s Student Accident insurance now provides limited reimbursement for costs for a student to travel by emergency services transportation because of an injury or illness unless the circumstances surrounding the illness or injury are exempt by the policy. If the emergency services are insured elsewhere by the family, i.e. Ambulance Victoria Membership or Private Health Insurance, then they must claim through that first and foremost prior to submitting a Student Accident Claim. Eligibility for reimbursement for each claim will be determined by the Insurers on an individual case basis.
