Medical insurance and property insurance – important information for parents.

The Department of Education (which includes our school) does not have personal accident insurance for students.

If a student is injured at school or while participating in a school activity (including off-site) and requires medical treatment, parents/carers are responsible for all of their child’s medical expenses.?This includes transport costs such as ambulance costs (which may include an air ambulance if considered necessary)

In addition, the Department of Education (which includes our school) does not have personal property insurance for staff and/or students.

Items of personal property that are lost, stolen or damaged at school or during school excursions are not the responsibility of Cranbourne Secondary College or the Department. Staff and students are reminded not to bring items of value to school or on school excursions.

Cranbourne Secondary College encourages parents/carers to consider obtaining their own accident insurance for students and property of value that may be brought to school.

Further information can be found on the Department of Education Policy and Advisory Library website.
