Children are
required to wear a
school uniform hat
in Terms 1 and 4.
Hot Weather
The school has a Hot Weather Policy to ensure that children are
protected in summer.
All children must wear a hat outside, and sunscreen is strongly advocated
in Terms 1 & 4
If the weather is above 35 degrees the school will adopt a Hot
Weather Program and reduce the amount of time that the children
are outside in the heat of the day.
Children are constantly reminded of the importance of frequent
drinks when playing.
Teachers provide children with many opportunities to take fluids
during class time.
Sporting activities where possible are time tabled for early morning.
As a result of major fundraising efforts over the years the school
has installed air conditioning in all classrooms .
Collecting and Dropping Children at School
These rules have been adopted to further guarantee your children’s safety.
At the end each term, school closure will be at 12.45pm
1. Any visitor to the school (during school hours) is to report to the office
to sign the yellow visitors book & wear a visitor’s sticker. This
sticker is readily recognisable by both staff and children. Anyone NOT
wearing a visitor’s sticker will be challenged if seen within the school
grounds.
2. Anyone picking up children during school hours must report
to the office. If children are going home early (due to illness
etc) then the identity of the person picking up the children will be verified.
Anyone picking up children during school hours will be required
to sign an early dismissal register. You will be given a slip to collect
your child from the classroom. If your child is late for school please go
to the office and fill in a late slip and then take him/her directly to the
classroom.
