GREY STREET PRIMARY SCHOOL COUNCIL
ADVERTISING AND SPONSORSHIP POLICY
Grey Street Primary School recognises that there are mutual benefits that can be gained from developing positive and purposeful relationships with organisations, businesses and community groups that exist within the wider community.
For the school, these benefits include:
· Improved student learning outcomes;
· Increased opportunities for staff development;
· Enhanced school resources;
· Increased community involvement
2.1 Advertising and sponsorships should only be sought with or accepted from
organisations, businesses and community groups where a clear and demonstrable benefit for the students and the school’s programs can be guaranteed.
2.2 Advertising and sponsorship arrangements should take into account the
values and views of the school community, as well as the School Charter and priorities.
2.3 Advertising and sponsorship arrangements should only be entered into
with organisations, businesses and community groups that have a good public image and are associated with products, services or activities that are appropriate for a school to align themselves with.
2.4 Advertising and sponsorship arrangements should not be entered into with
businesses that would promote tobacco or alcohol products.
2.5 Advertising and sponsorship arrangements that contain restrictions
regarding the school’s ability to purchase good and services freely, or that restrict the school’s ability to make choices in any way, will be avoided.
3.1 A sub-committee of School Council will investigate and negotiate all
potential advertising and sponsorship arrangements.
3.2 The sub-committee will provide School Council with a detailed written
report of any proposal, and seek School Council approval before finalising any arrangements. Any pecuniary interest by School Councillors must be declared at the time of the sub-committee’s report.

School Council on merit, and decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis.
5.1 Each individual advertising and sponsorship arrangement will be reviewed
annually.

cycle.
