LOAN OF EQUIPMENT POLICY

Teaching and learning opportunities for staff members and students can be enhanced by the school lending equipment for school related purposes.

• To enhance teaching and learning opportunities for staff.
• To strengthen relations with community groups and organisations.

• Staff members may borrow specific items of school equipment for the purpose of completing school work at home and items of furniture but must complete an entry in the borrowing book located in the school office, including a declaration that any costs resulting from loss or damage that is not covered by DE&T insurance, will be borne by the borrower.
• Community organisations and groups may borrow specific items of school equipment, but must arrange to do so with the principal. A representative of the group must complete an entry in the borrowing book located in the school office, including a declaration that any costs resulting from loss or damage that is not covered by DE&T insurance, will be borne by the borrower.
• Upon return, borrowed items will be checked and counter signed by the designated school officer.
• All school assets will be recorded on the CASES assets register, and will be engraved or identified as school property. An annual stock take will determine the location and condition of each recorded asset.
• All instances of inappropriate activity involving lent equipment (including loss, vandalism, arson, theft and burglary) are to be reported to the Principal.
