PARENTS may be asked to pay insurance levies for their children amid confusion over liability for accidents on school grounds and at camps.
Students are also being warned not to take to school expensive belongings such as mobiles, iPods and calculators, in case they're damaged or lost.
The Education Department has instructed schools to tell parents the public system does not insure students for personal accidents or damage to belongings.
Medical and transport costs are only paid if the injury is caused by the negligence of a staff member, school council employee or volunteer, it said in a recent memo to schools.
Camberwell High principal Elida Brereton said yesterday many parents were horrified when they realised personal insurance wasn't provided.
"I've had to tell parents they must insure their own children or make sure their family insurance covers kids," she said.
"We have to say to kids, if you bring your mobile phone, your iPod, your latest iPhone or whatever, and it disappears, while we'll do everything we can, and get police in if necessary, the department is not liable."
While schools have public liability insurance, some have opted to take out private insurance to cover personal accidents.
Schools should consider if such "premiums should be paid from general funds or be obtained through special levies from parents", a departmental memo says.
Association of School Councils in Victoria CEO Stephen Franzi-Ford says many parents would not mind paying levies because the insurance coverage was around-the-clock, not just in school hours.
"If you have a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week policy, it's only right to expect parents to put into that," he said.
Under the department's parent-fees policy, accident insurance payments are considered optional extras.

新闻二：Public schools forced to pay millions for security guards

GOVERNMENT schools are spending millions of dollars hiring private security guards because of threats from armed intruders and vicious attacks on students and teachers.
The Daily Telegraph can reveal that guards were called to Granville Boys High in Sydney's west during school hours after weapons were found in an "ncident between two students''.
Documents show security officers were also sent to James Meehan High at Macquarie Fields in Sydney's southwest after a confrontation between students from two schools.
The Department of Education and Training has spent almost $17 million protecting its schools with private security services over the past three years.
Department data shows intruders regularly enter schools around NSW assaulting students and teachers, making serious threats and damaging property.
In one of the worst attacks, a gang of five youths stormed Merrylands High in Sydney's west armed with a samurai sword, smashing more than 100 windows and causing damage estimated at $26,500.
Earlier this month three teenagers armed with a machete and an axe stormed Trinity Catholic College at Auburn, terrorising teachers and students and causing $30,000 damages.
Department data shows video surveillance systems have been installed in 63 of the state's 2240 primary and secondary schools.
But education bosses refuse to reveal which schools are deploying cameras, arguing identification can make them even more of a target.
"In some instances when the community has been made aware that security cameras have been installed at a school there is an increase in crime at schools in neighbouring locations,'' they said.
The education department spent $6,019,112 on private security firms in 2007-08 - up from $5,416,961 in 2006-07 and $5,528,259 in 2005-06.
Education Minister Verity Firth said schools were being better protected by new security fences.
"The new security fences will better protect students, teachers and learning facilities like classrooms, halls and gyms,'' Ms Firth said.
