School Hours

To ensure the safety of children at all times, they should not arrive at school prior to 8.15am. Students need to arrive at school in time to organise their personal belongings prior to the start of school. This will ensure a positive and smooth start to the school day.

All children not involved in after school activities are expected to leave the school grounds at 2.55pm unless special arrangements have been made by parents or teachers. If an emergency occurs and you will be more than 10 minutes late, please phone the school, so that supervision arrangements can be made.

Collecting Students during School Hours  

In certain circumstances, such as illness, medical appointments, etc. it may be necessary to collect children from school during school hours. Parents, carers or an authorised person (as nominated in our school data base) are required to complete a Student Leave Pass prior to picking up child/ren from their classroom/s. This will ensure that only authorised adults are collecting children from school. Parents will retain a hard copy and the yellow copy of this slip is then handed to your child’s teacher when collecting your child. Please note: teachers are not permitted to release students unless this procedure has been followed. This is a necessary legal requirement for reasons of safety and duty of care.

It is important that any changes to emergency contacts are communicated to our administration office. Your continued cooperation and consideration in this area will help us ensure your child’s welfare will receive the highest priority, especially if an emergency arises.
