Update 13 Jun 2018
Duty of Care
Can I remind families that our school duty of care begins at 8.30am each morning. From that time classrooms are open, teachers are available and there is a teacher on duty to supervise students in the playground. If students arrive at school before we are able to provide duty of care at 8.30am, we request that they sit under the shelters in the front of the school, or for grade 5 and 6 students, under cover in the stairwell.
Students are released from classrooms at 3pm. Early childhood teachers will wait until a known adult comes to collect each child. Children who have not been collected by 3.10pm will be taken to the office to wait. Teachers often have staff meetings or collaborative planning after school so need to be able to leave their classrooms by this time. Lady Gowrie provides after school care for families who are not able to collect their child/ren at 3pm. If parents know they will be late it would be appreciated if you phone the office to let us know.
There is no teacher supervision in the playground after school so primary students are asked to leave promptly to catch their bus or walk home if they do not have a parent/guardian at school to supervise safe play.
Thank you for your support in ensuring student safety before and after school.
Regards,
Kerry McMinn
Principal
