School Community Policies
Yarra Me School's policies are created in order that students can experience success in a safe and caring environment that supports their resilience and achievement.
These policies are supplementary to the Policy and Advisory Library (PAL) providing Victorian government schools access to governance and operational policies and advice. It complements the Department’s extensive web resources and directs users to relevant web content and supplementary information.
The PAL’s information comes from a range of legislative and regulatory requirements, primarily the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 and the Education and Training Reform Regulations 2007. Where appropriate a specific web page will identify its related legislation or regulation.
The PAL's content is subject to ongoing change and users are encouraged to regularly visit the PAL for the latest information.
