Children who attain the age of 5 years by 30th April in a year may commence school at the beginning of that year. Each child is expected to attend every school day unless the parent has a valid reason.

Please furnish a written reason on the child's return. Only an absence due to infectious disease or some enforced happening need be reported by telephone. It is required by DEECD that we have a reason for every day a student is absent.

Emergency Details

Emergency details are kept on file for each child in the school. This enables contact with the parents or their agent in case of illness or accident. Parents are asked to advise the school without delay of any changes required to enable prompt contact at any time:

  • address;
  • telephone number;
  • emergency contact;
  • doctor;
  • place of work.

Leaving School during School Hours

If you wish your child to leave early for dental or medical appointments, etc. it is necessary to obtain permission from the School Office, fill in the Signing Out Book and then collect your child from the classroom teacher.

In the interest of your child's safety, it is not possible to send a child home during school hours except at the lunch period and then only with a written request by the parent.

If your child is late to school they must be entered onto the sign in sheets at the Office prior to being taken to their grade.

If your child does come home, please ring the school immediately. We will be frantically trying to locate him/her!

When School is out

Staff exercise a great amount of care when supervising children leaving the school grounds. Teachers supervise the gate areas from 3.30 - 3.45 pm when all children should have either left to walk home or have been collected by parents. After this time supervision is no longer available and any child who has not gone home is brought to the office. It is expected that children are collected as close to 3.30 pm as possible.
In case of an emergency, please inform us of what alternative arrangements have been made.

To assist with the safety of all children in the vicinity of the school, please give particular attention to where you park and how children alight from cars and come to meet you.

If both the home and school emphasise obeying road rules and safety procedures, our children will make a habit of responsible behaviour.

School Visitors

All visitors to our school must register at the general office on arrival and theb wear a visitors badge for the entire duration of this visit.
