As the return to school date gets closer we would like to ensure families understand the process for safe drop off and pick up of students.

Please follow the process below for dropping off your child:

Only attend the drop off area at the designated time for your child’s class. Students will not be permitted to enter prior to their allocated time slot due to staffing arrangements.

Walk students through the front gate and form a socially distanced queue maintaining 1.5 metres from other parents and carers following the markers from sick bay door.

When it is your turn, a staff member will walk your child into the sickbay and their temperature will be checked by the school nurse or a first aid officer

If their temperature is fine, you will be given a signal to exit the school grounds and your child will continue through sickbay to their classroom

You will then exit the school grounds via the carpark gates. If your child has a fever you will need to exit the school grounds via the car park gates with your child and seek medical treatment.

Please follow the following process for picking up your child:

Only attend the pick up area at the designated time for your child’s class

Please go to the designated pick up area for your child and form a socially distant queue maintaining 1.5 metres from other parents and carers. Please enter via the front gate and exit through the staff car park.

Foundation Yard

Your child will be brought out to the gate and handed over to you by the staff member and you will be required to leave the school grounds as soon as your child is in your care

Gym

You will be required to wait outside of the gym in your socially distant queue until your child is brought to the door by a staff member. You will be required to exit the school grounds as soon as your child is in your care.

Please note that the office door will remain locked throughout the day due to restricted access to the school site. If you need to arrive late to school or collect your child early at the end of the day, please call the office on 03 52155700 and a staff member will meet you to handover the student through the First Aid entry.

Parents will need to be prepared for all types of weather as gym access is no longer available for them. Please monitor the weather forecast and dress appropriately or bring an umbrella as there is limited shelter available in the drop off and pick up areas.

If your child appears to be even mildly unwell they must not attend school. Even if your child only appears to have a runny nose, cough or generally appears pale or unwell please keep them home.If the school nurse identifies that a child is unwell, parents/carers will be contacted and required to collect the child from school as soon as possible. Students who display even the mildest of symptoms of illness whilst at school are required to be isolated until a parent or carer can collect them from school.

Students that have suppressed immunity are able to seek advice from their medical practitioner about their attendance onsite. If you are advised to keep your child at home for their medical safety we will continue to provide access to remote learning for these students. This will need to be communicated to the Principal in writing.
