Students Exiting School

• The school will have staggered pick up times:

• Two gates will be open for exiting procedures 
  • P-2 (including siblings) - Big Gate 
  • 3-6 - Front Office Gate 
  • Markers/Tape will be placed on the footpath if needing to line up to pick up 
• Students will line up on the basketball court (Big Gate) and  front office area to assist with pick up. 
• There will be staff at each gate to call your child to leave when you arrive.
• If your child usually walks to your car then the staff member at the gate will call your child when they see the car and students will cross the road safely using the school crossing.

Parents/Visitors needing to enter school 

• If parents need to enter the school grounds they must contact the school first by email or telephone.  We have been directed to minimise the number of adults entering the school in order to follow safe distancing measures.
• If you need to pick up your child early you need to contact the school and a staff member will walk your child to the front office gate.
• If your child arrives late to school a staff member will come out and greet your child at the front office gate.

Please call the school on: 9487 1001 if the gate is unattended and a staff member will come out to you.

• Visitors to school grounds are limited to those delivering or supporting essential school services and operations. There will be no parent volunteers until further notice.

Uniform Shop

• Uniform Shop will run by appointment only when necessary. A uniform order form will be sent home with every student and we encourage you to use this as Danni will be able to assist your child with sizing. If you do have to come in person there will be signage to ensure physical distancing.
• If not needing sizing, pre-order forms should be used and placed in the office tub

School fees

• Parents should be trying to pay fees online or via credit card over the phone.
• If they are needing to pay cash, an appointment should be made with Maria as to when to see her

Lunch Orders

• To avoid food handling issues, lunch orders will be postponed until further notice 

Drink Bottles

• Students will not be able to drink directly from drinking fountains at this time. Instead they should bring their own water bottle for use (and refilling) at school. 

Return of Technology

• All students who borrowed items from school MUST bring them back on their first day at school. If you borrowed a charger as well as a device, please make sure this is returned with the device. They will be cleaned at school. 

The most important action school communities can take to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19 is to ensure that any unwell children remain at home.
