Eligibility Criteria
Our Lady of the Southern Cross College (the College) has implemented an eligibility criteria in relation to student involvement in extra-curricular activities.
There are three key areas that need to be met in order for a student to be eligible to participate in the activity. These are outlined in detail below:
1. Attendance |
The College sets expectations around student attendance. Should a student’s attendance rate drop below 85% they are considered ineligible for sporting tours and other extra-curricular activities. |
2. Account Balance |
The timely payment of College fees is of high importance to facilitate the ongoing delivery of high-quality education to our students. Our expectation of families at the College are:
To be eligible for all extra-curricular experiences, it is a requirement that the balance of the family account be under $800.00 at the time of the activity, including the cost of the activity, or have an approved payment plan in place with a consistent payment history. Please note, when payment is made to the College, it is applied against the oldest outstanding debt first. |
3. Behaviour |
Student behaviour records will be examined prior to students being selected to represent the College in extra-curricular events. Students who do not meet the College’s expectations regarding behavioural choices may be ineligible for inclusion in these events.
Short term suspension (1-4 days) - 10 days rectification period
For carnivals/tours, the student will be ineligible to stay in camp accommodation with the rest of the team and will be ineligible for supervision by staff. Long term suspension (5-10 days) - 20 days rectification period
For carnivals/tours, the student will be ineligible to stay in camp accommodation with the rest of the team and will be ineligible for supervision by staff. |
