General Information

Absentee SMS - 0419 722 693

You can now communicate student absences by SMS on our absentee mobile number - 0419 722 693. This is our preferred method for parents to notify the College, as the text goes straight to our Attendance Officer.  Please note your full name, your child's full name and the reason for the absence.

Early Student Collections

If you need to collect your child during school hours, we encourage parents to liaise with the office in advance.  You can do this by calling the office on 9411 4100 or sending an SMS to the absentee mobile number 0419 722 693, noting your name, your child's name, the time of collection and the reason for early collection.  We can then arrange for your child to be waiting for you in Reception by the appointed time.

Food Allergy Awareness

Parents/carers are reminded that The King’s College is an ALLERGY AWARE SCHOOL and the provision of foods containing nuts should be avoided.  Given the significant number of enrolled students with allergies, including a number with potentially life-threatening anaphylactic reactions, the College urges you to please support us in making the school environment a safe place for all students at all times.  Thank you.

Every year, all schools in Australia participate in the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD).  More information about this process is can be found in the documents below:

KINGSWORSHIP ACADEMY

King's Worship Academy is a unique initiative of our school where we not only train our Year 11 and 12 students towards their Certificate IV in Music but also develop the skills of dozens of worship leaders and church music coordinators from around the city. We train our academy students to lead worship and use their musical gifts to make our world a more positive place.

We cover topics from songwriting, leadership, worship lifestyle, musicianship techniques, biblical understanding and contemporary production, to name a few. It’s such a privilege to host such a community-impacting program.

Please note:

1. Students early to school and picked up late

To ensure the safety of all students, parents and carers are asked not to drop their children off at the College early and/or pick them up late, as duty teachers do not begin supervision until 8.05 am in the morning and finish patrolling at 3.40pm in the afternoon. If your child is unavoidably on school grounds outside of these times, please ensure they know to wait outside Student Services.

2. Student use of playground equipment before and after school

For the safety of the students, parents and carers are reminded that their children are not permitted to play on the College playground equipment before and after school, and are asked to ensure their children know they must not play on the equipment unless there is adult supervision.

3. Sun safety

As we are a sun-safe school, the College reminds parents and carers that students must have a school hat and are expected to wear it whenever they are outside, including when they are in the shade. Due to the ‘no hat, no play’ rule, if students do not have a hat they will be asked to sit in Student Services for the duration of break times. The College also encourages the regular use of sunscreen and advises that large bottles are available at Student Services for student use.

Complaints

The College complaints handling system is a procedurally fair process and consistent with the National Child Safe Organisation Principles. Further, processes for complaints and concerns are child-focused and implementation of the National Child Safe Principles is regularly reviewed and improved.  The Director General of the Department of Education is responsible for ensuring that the school observes the registration standards, including the standard about its complaints handling system. Any student, parent or community member is entitled to contact the Director General with concerns about how the school has dealt with a complaint. Information is available on the Department of Education website. While the Director General may consider whether the school has breached the registration standards, she does not have power to intervene in a complaint or override the school’s decision.
