Dogs on School Grounds

Dogsare permitted to enter school grounds, under the following conditions: 

  • All dogs must be on short lead
  • Dogs are not permitted to be inside the school buildings
  • Dog owners are requested to always be mindful that children are the first priority in a school environment and that some children are unfamiliar and/or afraid of dogs. 
  • Dog owners must remove and dispose of dog excrement.

Dogs are NOT permitted to be off lead on school grounds at any time (in and out of school hours). The City of Moonee Valley has on leash laws, and under the Domestic Animals Act 1994, requires dogs to be kept on a leash at all times when in public places. This is especially important between 7.30am and 6.00pm (when our students are in attendance and when our Out of School Hours program is operating).
