Student Early Departures
As of 2017 there will be no early pickups between 3pm and 3.30pm without an appointment card from a medical centre (Doctor, Dentist, Optometrist etc.). Special circumstances must be approved by the Principal.
It is a legal requirement for all parents or guardians coming to pick up children from the Office to show photo ID, e.g. Drivers Licence, Passport or Proof of Age Card.
If you are not picking up your own children, we will need to call the child’s parents to confirm, unless we have been notified prior to the pickup, as well as see photo ID. Please take this into account if you are picking children up for an appointment.
Children & Pets in Cars
We would like to remind families that it is illegal and dangerous to leave children, or pets, in the car unattended at any time.
Working With Children Cards
In 2017 all parent helpers attending school excursions will need to have provided a copy of their Working with Children card to the Office before they can attend an excursion.
Dismissal of Students
Continuing on from last year, all students will be dismissed through the external doors of their classrooms.
Parents are to wait at the outside doors and not the internal corridors. Both measures are to reduce the amount of traffic through the school building. Your assistance is appreciated.
Please organise a meeting place for your child/ren if they are in classrooms at opposite end of the school. It is not possible for the Office to do announcements for 650 families to help children find each other.
Any children directed to the Office if their parents are running late will be directed to wait outside the front Office doors. Staff are on duty until 3.45pm.
