In the Know

A Reminder 

Parking Around the School

Please be respectful of our local and School community when parking at and around the School.

 

This includes not parking in School driveways, across residents’ driveways, on nature strips and in No Standing and restricted areas.

 

In particular, please be mindful of parents waiting to drop off their children in the various zones around the School. If you could please drop your children off as quickly as possible, regardless  

of the time allowed, it will help reduce the level of congestion around the School and frustration experienced by waiting parents.

 

For parents of senior school students, please consider parking or dropping them off from nearby streets to walk the short distance to School. 

Child Information Reminder

Please ensure that you update details in the Parent Portal, especially Medicare and Health Insurance, Emergency Contacts and any Health or Medical information, related to your child. This will allow the School to respond promptly and effectively in the case of an emergency.

 

If the School does not have these details, it will affect the ability of your child to attend incursions and excursions.

Nut Allergies

In order to minimise the risk of a student having an anaphylactic reaction at School caused by coming into contact with nuts, parents are asked to assist the School, wherever possible, by not allowing their child/ren to bring or eat nuts at school. A school can never claim to be nut free, however, in the interests of the safety of all community members and to minimise the risk to others, we do discourage the bringing and eating of nuts at school.

School Supervision

ELC and Junior School

  • The school is supervised from 8.00am each morning, Junior School students not collected by 3.50pm will be taken to Extend After School Care where they can be supervised until 6.00pm (Monday to Friday).
  • For students already enrolled with Extend this will incur a casual booking fee. If this is the first time a booking has been made, the annual Enrolment fee will also be charged. For students not enrolled at the time of the first booking, a higher annual Enrolment fee is charged by Extend.
  • As of this Term, our after-school care program is being extended with a before-school care program for ELC and Junior School students. The program will be provided from 7.30 - 8.45am for ELC students, and 7.30 - 8.25am for Junior School students, Monday to Friday.

To book your child’s place and for any further enquiries you have, please contact Extend on 1300 366 437. You can also make enquiries through their website www.extend.com.au. Once you have enrolled your child into the program, you can drop them off at classroom J3 in the Junior School. Please enter via Main Reception, Gate 1, Leila Road, which will be open from 7.15am.

Any child who is dropped off before 8.00am, and is not enrolled in the program, will be taken to before-school care and you will be charged the Walk-In rate of $52.50. Please enrol in the program if you are unable to drop your child off after 8.00am. The School will continue to offer supervision of the play areas from 8.00am.

Senior School

  • The school is supervised from 8.00am each morning. After 3.50pm, Senior School students not involved in after school supervised activities are to go to the Library where they will be supervised until 5.00pm (Monday to Thursday) and until 4.00pm (Friday).  There is no supervision of Senior School students after 5.00pm as the School is closed.

Playground Equipment Supervision

Students are supervised before school, recess and lunchtimes on the playground equipment located in the School by Kilvington staff. At any other time, if parents/guardians allow their children to play on the School’s playground equipment then the supervision of any children and responsibility for their safety and care resides totally with parents/guardians.
