School Routine Reminders

Let's all work together and be on the same page from Day 1. 

• Drop Off between 8:30am and 8:50am. Children must only access the playground or classroom from 8:30am, as the playground is unsupervised before then. Students for tennis and basketball are the exception. Siblings of students taking part in these sporting events are not to be left unsupervised during training times.
• Pick-up between 3:30pm-3:45pm. If you are running late please contact the office.
• Late arrivals to sign in using PASSTAB at the front office before heading to class.
• Emails/Communication are always welcome, however, we find a brief exchange at drop-off or pick-up can often address any matters promptly. The priority for staff members at St Joseph’s Primary School is the welfare and education of all students at our school. Staff  are unable to respond to emails and telephone calls instantaneously. They will, however, ensure that they attend to all correspondence within a reasonable timeframe (24 hour turnaround). Parents are also reminded that a response to communication should not be expected outside business hours, or during school holidays, unless it is an emergency. Thank you for your support and understanding with these expectations.
• WWCC - Working With Children Check - St Joseph’s Primary School is committed to providing a child safe environment and takes active steps to ensure any person authorised to conduct ‘child connected works’ or ‘child related works’ does not pose a risk to their safety or welfare. To achieve this, the school requires a Working With Children Check (WWCC), to assess and verify their suitability. It is the responsibility of non-teaching staff, volunteers and visitors to:
  • Apply for and receive a WWCC prior to expressing an interest to participate in ‘child connected works’.
  • Provide St Joseph’s Primary School with a valid WWCC card prior to commencement. This needs to be shown and registered at the front office upon receipt.
