Early Arrivals

We have had a number of students arriving too early to school either via bike or being dropped off. It is lovely that our students are eager to start the school day but the school grounds are not open or supervised to start the school day until 8:30am. If you require your child to be at school earlier than this time you will need to use the Camp Australia before school care program. 


DCS Uniform Polo Shortage

DCS Uniforms have notified us that some of their polo top sizes, mainly 10, 12 & 14 are unavailable at the moment. They will be placed as a back order and should

They are sorry for these delays.


Working With Children Check Required for Parent Volunteers

It is encouraged that all parents apply for a voluntary Working With Children check. These cards are free of charge and a mandatory requirement for all adults who wish to volunteer at the school in any capacity.

You can now fill WWC Check application online. Please go to http://www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au/

After you fill out your details, print out your application form and take it to an Australia Post outlet with your proof of identity and a passport size photo for processing.

Please bring  your WWCC card to our school office when you receive it and we will do an induction so that you can attend excursions and help in the classroom for 2024.

This induction only takes 5 minutes, is only done once a year and is conducted from our school office.


School Hours

Classes Start at 8:45am and Classes Finish at 3:15pm

Recess 10:45-11:20am and Lunch 1:15-2:15pm

Please ensure your child/children are at school prior to 8:45am. Students should not arrive before 8.30am and need to be collected by 3.30pm as this is when the school is supervised.

All students who arrive late must sign in at the office and take a late pass to the teacher.

Students leaving early must be signed out by a parent at the office. 

 

If your child is leaving school early could you please email the class teacher, giving a time that you would like your child to be at the office ready for pick up. Unfortunately we are unable to call students over the intercom, unless it is recess, lunchtime or from 3pm.
