JUNIOR SCHOOL School Dismissal Procedures Our School Campus is a busy place with multiple things happening every afternoon. We need the support of all parents and our whole community in ensuring that the children are supervised and safe. Recently I have noticed children playing around campus whilst not under the direct supervision of an adult (either teacher or parents). This is a difficult situation for both the staff and for other children whose parents are either in Car Line or not on campus. This week, staff have been directing and reminding students of the dismissal procedures that apply to all children in the Junior School. Thank you to our parents who support us in reminding their children of these rules and the reasons why they must be implemented. For your information, the requirements are as follows: After School Activities Students participating in after school activities must wait quietly on the Amphitheatre or the Breezeway for their activity to commence. They are not to play handball or any other game. At the conclusion of the activity, they are to be collected by parent/s and if not, will be escorted to TIGS Extend. Car Line Junior School students can only be collected from Drummond Drive Car Line. Students are not permitted to walk up to the Powell Street car park or to Western Avenue to wait with older siblings. All Junior School students being collected by car must sit in the supervised area and be escorted to the car by a staff member. Parents are also asked to check for people walking behind their cars before opening car boots and tailgates. Buses Students travelling on TIGS buses must wait on the Amphitheatre until the teacher on duty collects them to walk to the bus. Students catching buses from the Princes Highway sit in the supervised car line area until their bus arrives. Students Walking Home Students who walk home of an afternoon are to wait on the Amphitheatre until 3:10pm when they are dismissed by a teacher to walk home. Mrs Narelle McRae Acting Head of Junior School/ Director of Student Wellbeing Junior School Library Access Students in Year 6 only may access the School Library in the afternoon for quiet study or homework. These students meet on the Amphitheatre and are directed to the Library at 3:10pm when Senior classes conclude. They must sign in at the Library reception and be signed out when they are collected by parents. They must remain in the Library until they are collected. Please note that the Library closes at 4.00pm on Fridays. Access to Playground Equipment Students are not permitted to play on any play equipment unless directly supervised by a staff member or their parents. This is an important safety rule and any students noted doing this will be escorted either to the car line waiting area, the Amphitheatre waiting area or to the Junior School office. Prep Siblings Siblings of Prep students are provided with a supervised waiting area in a Junior School classroom and must be collected no later than 4.00pm. Students still in the room after 4.00pm will be taken down to TIGS Extend. The Prep student must be in attendance on the day for the Junior School student to be able to attend the Sibling Waiting Room facility. Before School Arrangements Supervision is provided on the Amphitheatre from 8:00am until play commences at 8.20am. Children arriving early to school are to come straight to the Amphitheatre with their bags. Music Lessons Children having music lessons before or after school are to be under the direct supervision of their tutor or parents. Siblings are not to play near the music tutor rooms during the lesson, they are to follow the procedures outlined above. It is very important that we have routines and processes to keep our students safe before and after school. I appreciate the assistance of all school families in making sure we know where the children are before and after school and in keeping them safe at school each day.
