Preschool families please read these new rules regarding no photos or video recording on preschool grounds.
If your child is starting preschool next week please remember to take your first day photos outside our boundaries, such as at home before or after school or in drop off/pick up areas outside the preschool gates.
📢 Keeping children safe in preschool – new device rules
We follow ACECQA’s National Model Code, which sets clear rules for how digital devices, photos and videos of children must be managed. These rules help protect children's safety, privacy and wellbeing.
What families need to know:
🚫 You cannot take photos or videos of preschool students on personal electronic devices while on preschool grounds, attending preschool excursions, or as part of whole school events.
📸 Only school issued devices will be used for photos and videos and staff will follow strict rules for safe use and storage.
📱 Preschool staff may carry an authorised personal electronic device, however this can only be approved by the Nominated Supervisor and only for essential purposes, such as emergencies, health monitoring, disability related communication, or urgent family matters.
Families are welcome to take photos outside our boundaries, such as at home before or after school, in drop off/pick up areas, or at community events.
These steps help keep every child’s privacy safe and support a respectful learning environment.
