Drop-off and Pick-up

Pre-Kindergarten to Year 1 students are to be accompanied at all times to and from their respective pick-up and collection areas by their parents and guardians, or All Saints’ staff at the end of the day.

Years 2–6 students are to be dropped off in the Junior School car park drop-off zone. Arrival time for students should be no earlier than 8.10am (when supervision begins), unless they are signed up for a before-school cocurricular group or attending Out of School Hours Care (OSHC).

Duty of Care and After-School Supervision

There is no after-school supervision from 3.05pm to 3.25pm for Kindergarten and Pre-Primary students, unless signing in to Out of School Hours Care. After-school supervision for Years 2 – 6 students occurs from 3.25pm to 3.45pm by the designated waiting area of the Junior School car park. This ensures students are collected by parents in an efficient and timely manner, thus improving traffic flow in the Junior School car park. During these times students are not permitted to play on the outdoor equipment or in between classroom areas. This is not only a courtesy for any meetings occurring in classrooms, but also ensures that students are accounted for appropriately.

Late Pick-Up

Your child will not be released to other people without a note written in the Student Diary, an email or a phone call from you, the parent. Should a child not be collected by 10 minutes after their end of school, they will be signed into Out of School Hours Care (OSHC) and charges will apply.

Late Arrival

Students who arrive late to school will need to sign in at Junior School Reception before going to class. Students in Years 2–6 may sign in without their parent / guardian; however, students in Year 1 and below must be accompanied by an adult. 

Early Pick-Up

If you are taking your child from the College for any reason, you will be required to come to Junior School Reception and sign your child out before collecting them from class. If your child is returning to school, they will need to sign in as per the “Late Arrival” process.

Absentees

Accurate record-keeping of school attendance is a legal requirement for the College, therefore all absences must be notified. If your child is unwell, please make a call by 9.00am each day your child is away to Junior School Reception (08) 9313 9334 to advise us of their absence. 

Planned absences for periods in excess of two days must be requested in writing via an email, addressed to the Director of Junior School, detailing absence dates and reason. Please be aware that in most circumstances the Education Act does not allow the College to provide permission for students to be away from school.
