Before School Supervision of Students
Supervision of students before school is from 8:00 am – 8:45 am. Although not obligated to do so supervision from 8:00 am - 8:15 am is a service the school generously offers to parents. Students are not permitted to play during this time. The supervised play period before school is from 8:15 am - 8:45 am
Please note that students will not be permitted on to the school site before 8:00 am. Please remain with your child/children should you arrive at school prior to 8:00am.
KEMBLA ST - DEPARTURE PROCEDURES
Kembla St Parent Pick-up
If you pick-up your child/ren from Kembla St in the afternoon you will know that the numbers of families doing so is at an all-time high. As such this already busy time is even busier. We sincerely appreciate the cooperation of the majority of parents and carers who respect the road rules governing the No Parking Pick Up and Drop off Only’ Zone.
Could I ask for your assistance please with our after-school dismissal via Kembla St.
Please remain in your vehicle.
Your child(ren) will be called from the playground when your vehicle is first in the queue.
PLEASE BE PATIENT. This routine will quite likely slow the dismissal process.
PLEASE DO NOT SIT DOUBLE PARKED while you are waiting for your child(ren). Please keep circling the block until there is space in ‘no parking (pick-up/drop-off)’ zone for your vehicle.
REMEMBER THAT THE ‘NO PARKING (PICK-UP/DROP-OFF)’ ZONE HAS A TWO MINUTE LIMIT
TO HELP MAKE THIS TIME MORE MANAGEABLE FOR THE STAFF AND STUDENTS PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN THE PICK-UP/DROP OFF ZONE BEFORE 2:55PM
Please note that the students are well supervised during the afternoon dismissal. Teachers are on duty at the Kembla St entry/exit until at least 3:15 and I advise parents to delay their pick-up for 10 or 15 minutes so that the congestion is lessened.
If you are collecting your child/ren in person, please remember to maintain physical distancing whilst you are waiting outside the school gate.
DEPARTURE VIA O'DONNELL ST
BUSES - Children travelling on the buses will be escorted by staff members as they embark the bus. Please remind your child/ren to remain seated on the bus until they reach their desination.
PICK UP - Parents/Carers are asked to assemble safely outside the gate and the children will be escorted by staff members to the dismissal point.
Please be mindful of keeping physical distance as per NSW Health Guidelines.
Your assistance in this will ensure the safety of our school community.
