TELEPHONE CALLS

To save disruption to classes you are requested to leave your message with the office staff, or contact teachers before or after school.

TRANSITION

A broad range of transition activities are conducted throughout the school year to support the students at all levels of their schooling.

Transition includes enrolment into the school, moving from one grade level to another and exiting Jackson School.

TRANSPORT TO SCHOOL (SDTP)

Free transport is provided by DE to and from school for students who live inside the Designated Transport Area (DTA). Parents/carers are required to be at the pickup/drop off point 5 minutes before the appointed time. Drivers attempt to be punctual but other factors obviously control traffic movement. Bus companies provide a bus supervisor on each bus.  Parents are responsible for the behaviour of their child and any misbehaviour on the transport services will be reported back to parents to manage and may result in a ban. School is responsible for your child once they have arrived off the bus on arrival at school.  

A ‘Conditions of Travel’ policy for travel on the buses is provided on enrolment if a student is going to access bus transport. Any changes or complaints regarding school bus runs must be made to the school office, not to the driver. 

TRAVEL EDUCATION/TRAINING

This is related to the direct teaching of skills required to travel safely and independently on public transport and begins in Year 7. Once a student has reached an independent status he/she may be encouraged to travel to school independently.
