CCTV AT OUR SCHOOL
Warracknabeal Education Precinct (which incorporates Warracknabeal Primary School, Warracknabeal Secondary College and Warracknabeal Special Developmental School) has decided to use a closed-circuit television (CCTV) system at our site.
The Warracknabeal Education Precinct and its schools have an obligation to ensure the school environment is safe and secure, and fulfil our duty of care to students, staff and visitors. The CCTV system will assist our schools to fulfil these obligations and to prevent and manage other inappropriate behaviour on school grounds. CCTV will also provide enhanced capability to protect our school’s assets against vandalism and theft.
We will follow Department of Education and Training policy requirements for the design, installation, management and use of the CCTV systems. This policy is available at: CCTV in Schools – Installation and Management.
We will also place a CCTV Privacy Notice on our school website with more information about our school’s use of CCTV.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your school’s Principal via the School Office.
