Please note that there is no supervision before 8:30am and after 3:20pm, unless the school has been notified of an emergency.
Students who need care outside these hours are able to use the services of OSHC (Outside School Hours Care). For legal and safety reasons, children should not be on the school premises before 8:30am and must depart the school grounds as soon as they are released from school, unless they are attending our OSHC facility, ELC or are involved in a school arranged activity such as school sports training.
STUDENT ARRIVALS/DEPARTURES
Please note that it is a legal requirement for schools to keep attendance records of students, and records of student late arrivals and early departures from school.
Students Arriving Late for School
- It is preferrable that all students arrive at school by 8:50am to ensure that they have greeted their friends and teacher, been marked off rolls, and are abreast of their daily activities. Whilst we understand that this is not always possible, for many reasons, this is an important part of the day for all students.
- Students arriving at school after 9.00am must enter via the Front Office with their parent /guardian who is required to sign them in using the COMPASS Kiosk. Please do not enter late arrivals into the parent portal.
- Please do not drop-off your child off on the black top as this is a safety issue after 8:50am.
Students Leaving Early from School
- No child is permitted to leave the school grounds during school hours without a teacher/parent/guardian.
- If you are aware that you are picking your child up early on a particular day, please advise their teacher or the Front Office by providing a note. Please be mindful that teachers are often unable to view emails/online info during class time. Please do not enter a note in the Compass portal.
- Parents wishing to collect their child early must report to the Front Office where they will sign the child out using the COMPASS Kiosk
- Please do not pick up a student between 2:45pm and 3:00pm unless it is an emergency. The Front Office and classrooms are generally very busy at this time and locating and calling students over the class phone, or the school speaker, is disruptive for all.
Thank you for your cooperation.
