School Entrance - Meeting Children
Children enter and exit the school at gates provided in Tongarra Road and Hamilton Road. The Taylor Road exit is only for those children catching buses.

Car Park
The car park is for the use of staff members only. Children/parents are not to walk through the car park when entering or leaving the school grounds as this poses a danger to the children and parents alike. The arrival and departure of delivery vehicles at various times throughout the day adds further to the safety concerns for children.

Traffic Lights/Crossing
Traffic lights are located in Tongarra Rd and Russell Street. A children's pedestrian crossing is located in Hamilton Road. This crossing is supervised daily by a "lolly-pop" person. This supervision will occur both morning and after school. Parents are requested and encouraged to park in the R.S.L carpark for safety reasons.

Permission to Leave the School
School ends at 3.15 pm for all children in Yrs 1-6. Kindergarten children will be dismissed at 2.45 until Friday 27th February. Then at 3.15 pm for the remainder of the year.
If a change of normal procedure is planned for going home, please send a note to the teacher.

When picking up children before 3.15 pm parents will be required to collect a 'Sign Out' slip from the main office. This slip is to be given to the class teacher when collecting your child.
In the event of an emergency, and you are unable to collect your child, please endeavour to contact the school. "Unclaimed" children should be encouraged to go to the executive on bus duty for help.

Security
Our school is very much a community school and the premises are used by community groups. Although the incidence of vandalism is quite low we would appreciate local residents phoning the police without delay if they have reason to suspect the actions of people in the school vicinity, out of school hours.

Lost Property
This is a problem that is avoided if names are clearly written or sewn on all belongings. Items that can be identified by name are easily returned to their owners. Unclaimed lost clothing is stored near the entrance in the double storey building and outside classroom 17 in the infants COLA for a reasonable period of time, after which it is either used as emergency clothing or put in a Stewart House bag for the next collection. Valuables should not be worn or brought to school. It is unwise to give children money that is in excess of their anticipated needs for each school day. If such valuables are found they are sent to the office for safe keeping until claimed.

Annual Report
Education Department Policy directs that all schools prepare an Annual Report of the school's operations, programs and achievements. This report is written by the Principal on the recommendation of the "School Self Evaluation Committee" which has representations of parents and staff. The main purpose of this report is to supply information about the school to the community which it serves. A copy of this report will be made available to each parent at the school and a public meeting is held to discuss any aspects parents wish to seek clarification on.
