2023 Timetables
including End of Day Dismissal
Based upon teacher feedback in their Term 1 PDP reflections, we will now move our collaborative planning time to Monday at 3:15 - 4:30. Wednesdays after school will be allocated to additional Student Support Group meetings with families/school staff, including following up attendance, and for time-in-lieu acquittal. We hope this supports teaching staff to be prepared for the following week ahead and allow you time to do more planning at school and less at home.
Both the 2023 PLT and Active Supervision timetables have been recently updated and can be accessed using the links below.
Both timetables will be uploaded into Xuno in readiness for the start of the term. Your personalised timetable can be accessed by clicking the timetable link on the left-hand side of your dashboard within Xuno.
Based on feedback from staff, we have now created a separate active supervision timetable for adverse weather. In the event of adverse weather, please refer to the second page of the 2023 active supervision timetable for your allocated area.
End of Day Dismissal Processes
SDTP Bus Lines
To ensure the safe and orderly dismissal of students at the end of the day, all students must be in their designated bus line room. This reduces behaviours in the courtyard and outside the 9/10 classrooms and allows us to quickly lock down the school if required. Additional leadership staff have been allocated in these areas to support this. This also speeds up our end of day processes. For our bus routes to run on time and to reduce our families waiting at the super stops, it is important that staff arrive at their bus lines promptly and ensure all students are accounted for. If a student does not present at the bus line it is important to check with the school office. Kathy and Jo will make announcements to call for bus lines as the buses are ready in the bus zone. Multiple buses will fill at the same time through Gates A and B before they are allowed to depart. This ensures child safety. Thank you in advance for your support.
Parent Pick-ups, OSHC and Independent Travellers
For parent/carer pick-ups, it is important that family members are known to the staff at the gate. If the parent/carer is not a regular person who collects a student, staff must direct these adults to the school office where they will contact Parent A or B for authorisation and/or check identification. To download the Access Restriction Booklet, please click on the link below:
It is also important that these students are in the three allocated Parent Pick-up rooms (P-4, 5-8, 9-12) to reduce behaviours and in the case of a lockdown.
There are no changes to the dismissal of Independent Travellers. Please ensure only students on the Independent Travel list who have the Independent Travel Contract completed with parent/carer permission leave the school independently. Where a student is considered to be sufficiently mature to leave the school grounds independently (for example secondary students) they are able to do so with valid permission and the knowledge and consent of their parents. Unless otherwise approved by the Principal and the family, students should have completed the Travel Education Framework.
OSHC now meet at the trampoline at the end of the admin corridor. This is supported by TheirCare staff. From meeting with TheirCare management last term, any staff member who is also employed by Their Care should arrive at 3:00 pm for their OSHC duties. We will discuss this new arrangement directly with staff employed by both DE and TheirCare.
Students should not be transitioning before the 2:50 pm dismissal bell. For students who need additional support, ESS may support with these transitions.
