Student Supervision - before and after school hours
In line with Victorian Government legislation, the school provides staff supervision for students before school between 8:45am and 9am. The school also provides staff supervision for students after school between 3:30pm and 3:45pm.
All students must be supervised (by a parent/carer or Team Kids) up until 8:45am and after 3:45pm. Any unsupervised child will be placed into the care of Team Kids and the cost borne by parents.
We are very lucky to have Team Kids as our OSHC provider and they run a great program. Before-school care is from 7am to 9am and after school care from 3:30pm to 6pm. Rebates are available. They provide breakfast and afternoon tea which is included in the costs.
Uniform Orders
The uniform shop will not be open this term and orders will only be filled once a week on a Thursday. All orders must be received by 9.30am on Thursdays.
You can email or send in your orders to the office and items will be sent home with your child.
