Students should bring their own water bottle for use at Monash Tech School. Refill taps are located throughout the facility.
Students should also bring a packed recess and lunch. It is not possible to leave the facility to obtain food.
Orderly behaviour is expected of students as they move through the facility as traffic corridors are narrow.
