Before school

Families are asked not to have their children at school prior to 8.30am. There is no need for students to be at school prior to the start of the day at 8.50am unless they have a specific reason e.g. instrumental music lessons, sports practice etc. Students who arrive prior to the commencement of the school day 8.50am are required to go to the senior covered play area and remain seated there until the first bell at 8.30am or an invitation to enter the classroom is given by the class teacher.   

Lunch

At both breaks, the students must sit and eat until they are dismissed by a teacher. All eating takes place in undercover areas. Please ensure that you send your child’s lunch in a sealed or insulated lunchbox.  Include a small freezer brick or freeze a bottle of water and pop it into the lunchbox to keep food cool. Keeping food cool will prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.

After school

No staff are on playground duty after school, so student safety at that time is the responsibility of parents. Students who have their parents with them will be able to use the playground after school but only until 3.20pm. At 3.20pm the bell will ring briefly as the signal that it is time to go home. Also, at that time any students who have not yet been collected from wherever their meeting point might be will need to go to the school office so that they can be kept safe until parents arrive.

On some days there will be a small number of students still on the grounds after 3.20pm. These students will be waiting in the senior covered play area with parents associated with external providers of activities in the school hall.   

Parade

A full school parade is held every Monday afternoon at 2:30pm in the school Hall.
Parents and family members are welcome to attend and share in the celebrations of student success and achievement. 

Arriving late

If your child arrives to their classroom after 8.50am they must collect a late slip from the school office and bring it to their teacher. This complies with the electronic roll marking initiative implemented by the Queensland Government. An afternoon electronic roll marking process is also conducted. Should your child not be present during electronic roll marking and the absence is not registered with the school office, phone calls will be made to parents/carers.   

Leaving early

Parents/carers who need to collect students from the school during school hours are required to follow protocol: 

  1. Proceed to the office and inform administration staff.
  2. Complete the Student Early Leave Register details and receive slip.
  3. Administration staff will call teacher and have your student sent to the office.
