Students At School Early
OSHC is available if you need to have your child at school prior to 8.20am. If this is not possible and your child is dropped at school before this time, they will be directed to be on school grounds – they are not permitted to be hanging out on the Foodland public area or at the front of the school on the footpath. We have a duty of care to keep them safe. Parents - can you please reinforce this, particularly for some of our older students. If staff see them outside of school grounds they will be directed to move onto school grounds for their safety. Thank you for your support with this.
