Our Day
Student Drop Off and Pick Up
Parents are requested to use the designated parking and drop off
zones around the School and adhere to all parking restrictions,
one way roads and speed limits. Parents are asked not to park in
the kiss and drop areas and leave their cars unattended.
Arrival time for students should be no earlier than 8.00am, unless
they are signed up for a before school co-curricular group or
attending Out of School Hours Care (OSHC). It is important that
all parents are aware that there is no supervision by the duty
teachers until 8.00am. Families who need their children to arrive
earlier than 8.00am should take advantage of our Before School
Care facility.
Children in Little Explorers, Kindy and Pre-Primary are to be
accompanied at all times to and from their classrooms by
their parents or guardians. Younger siblings are to be carefully
supervised by their parents when entering the classrooms, as
equipment may be set up for specific class activities or not be
suitable for younger children. From Year 1 it is appropriate for
children to be dropped off in the Preparatory School car park
drop-off zone, from 8.00am onwards.
If you are running late for pick-up, please call reception on
(08) 9377 9296 and we will ensure your child’s teacher is
informed. Your child will not be released to unknown parties
without a note written in the Student Diary or an email or
phone call from you, the parent. Should a child not be collected
20 minutes after the end of school, to ensure duty of care they
will be signed into OSHC and charges will apply.

After-school supervision occurs from 3.25pm – 3.45pm by the
designated waiting area at Kiss and Drop. This ensures students
are collected by parents in an efficient and timely manner, thus
improving traffic flow in the Preparatory School. Students may
use the oval after school only under parent supervision, provided
it is not being used for any other co-curricular activity.
Student Supervision
The School provides general supervision (staff on duty) and
accepts responsibility for students from 8.00am to 3.40pm only
on weekdays (4.30pm on sports training days). Outside these
hours, supervision of students and responsibility for them is
related to specific sporting or extra-curricular activities and the
students officially involved in them. If for any reason you are
late and unable to collect your child, they are instructed to go to
Out of School Care, where the standard Out of School Care fees
(refer to page 35) will apply.
Crunch & Sip, Recess and Lunch
• Healthy food and water are an essential requirement for
student wellbeing.
• We encourage all students to bring fruit or vegetables each
day to have at a Crunch ‘N Sip break in the morning.
• We encourage students to keep well hydrated with water
throughout the day. Each child should bring a named
reusable water bottle to school each day.
