Important Policies to Read

Before and After School Supervision  

Student safety at Carlton North Primary School is our highest priority and the safe and appropriate supervision of students is an important element of our duty of care to students. Part of this duty is ensuring parents and students are aware of our student supervision arrangements before and after school. 

Before school: School grounds are supervised from 8:45am on the O’Grady Street side of the school. 

After school: School grounds are supervised until 3:45pm.

Students on school grounds outside these times will not be supervised (unless they are attending a before or after school care program or supervised extracurricular activity). 

Parents/carers are requested to ensure that students do not attend school outside of these supervised times unless they are attending before or after school care, or a pre-arranged supervised activity (i.e. sports practice). 

Families are encouraged to contact Rachel Corben on (03) 9347-4822 or refer to http://www.carltonnthps.vic.edu.au/ for more information about the before and after school care facilities available to our school community or if you would like any further information about our student supervision arrangements.

See below, the Yard Duty and Supervision Policy. This policy includes Carlton North Primary School’s student supervision arrangements across the school day, including before and after school. You can find all our policies on our website or by contacting the office.

Consent for Excursions 

A lot of time is taken up on excursion days where families of students have not submitted their consent. This impacts on the experience of all excursion participants. Therefore, staff will no longer be calling families on the day of excursions where consent has not been given. Those students without consent will need to remain at school. As families receive ample notice through Compass, the school council support this decision. Please make sure you regularly review Compass for notifications of upcoming excursions and events.
