LATE ARRIVAL/EARLY COLLECTION

If you arrive at school after 8.50am or leave school before 3.20pm student/s must be signed in or out at the school office.

The school is to be notified of any student absences. If you know your student will be absent please add this through 'PAM' or contact the school office.

Schools are now legislated to contact families regarding ’unexplained absences’, and parents will receive a phone call for any ‘unexplained absence’ including late arrivals that are not signed in at the office.

MEDICATIONS AT SCHOOL

PLEASE DO NOT SEND MEDICATION TO SCHOOL WITH CHILD/SIBLING

If your child requires medication at school, please come to the school office and sign the medication register. You can then provide office staff with their medication - in its original prescription package. The prescription label must have their name, dosage and time to administer medication.

All medication is dispensed through the office and signed off on the medication register. If appropriate permission is not signed for, it cannot be administered to the child.

It is also a good idea to mention to the child's teacher that there is medication at the office and what time it is to be administered thank you.
