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.
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.

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.
