Kiss & Go procedure & 

Traffic Management 

Over the past 2 weeks we have been monitoring and improving our procedures for the Kiss n Go drop off and pick up from school. We would like to acknowledge all our wonderful families for their understanding and patience.  It is lovely to see smiles and hear laughter when they arrive and depart for the day.

Areas to note:

• an increased number of staff on duty in this area (until the end of Term 2).
• uber driver type signs in the dashboard for easier identification of cars related to children.

We continue to address the surface of the drive through with grading and re-surfacing.  We monitor this area on a regular basis, particularly as the winter months are approaching (Note:  upgrading of this area is part of the Capital Works project commencing Term 4, 2020).

Child Safe Standard 7: Strategies to promote child participation and empowerment

CHILD FIRST Child FIRST is an easily accessible, community-based point of entry for children, young people and families needing support.  Some families need  family services support when they are experiencing difficulties that impact on their parenting and family life.  This may be particularly evident for families during the COVID-19 period. Anyone with a concern for a child or family wellbeing can make a referral to Child FIRST. Referrals can be made for vulnerable children, young people (0 to 17 years) and their families, including families with an unborn child.

Support programs include:

• Family Services
• Early Parenting Centre Services
• Cradle to Kinder

Child FIRST teams are located in sites across Victoria and are delivered in your local area by community service organisations.
