School Supervision  -  Yard Duty:

Yard Duty begins at 8:30am each morning.  Please ensure children arrive after this time.  Staff will be on duty until 3:30pm each afternoon and children will be supervised within the JP playground area until they are picked up by their adult.

Please arrange to collect your children at 3:10pm each afternoon and contact the school if you are going to be late.

If you are having difficulty with these times,  the Before/After School Care service, Happy Haven, operating from Nuriootpa Primary School, is available for you to use.  Phone 81555 444 to book or for more information.

Late Arrival and Early Departures:

If your child is late to school (ie arrives after 8:50am), they will need to see staff in the Front Office who will issue them with a yellow ‘Late Arrival’ card to take to their class teacher.  Parents picking up children early for an appointment will also need to come to the Front Office and get a pink ‘Early Departure’ card. Please do not ask teachers to have your child wait for you in the Front Office as this impinges on valuable learning time. Collect your child from the classroom after handing the card to the teacher.  

Student Absences:

A reason is required for all absences from school.  You can use the eform in Audiri, or contact the school by phone or email to report your child's absence.

Unexplained Absences:

Where students have been marked  'unexplained' by the class teacher, including students who arrive late to school without going to the Front Office to get a yellow card, the parent/caregiver will receive an email asking you to provide the school with a reason for the absence. You can do this via the above methods.

Illness & Injuries at School – Collecting Your Child:

Students who are sent to the Front Office/First Aid room by their teacher due to illness and also for injuries that are considered more serious eg a hard knock to the head, will be sent home. 

Unwell students should not attend school until they have fully recovered and will not pass on illness to others.

Parents will always be contacted first in any situation.

As our First Aid room is equipped to accommodate one child at a time, it is important that you collect your child promptly once you have been notified, so that other students needing assistance can be attended to.  

If you are unable to collect your child, please organise your emergency contact to do so and inform the school.

Emergency contacts will need to show identification eg driver's license, at the Front Office.

NB: Primary caregivers eg parents are NOT emergency contacts but people other than yourselves eg relatives or friends who can be contacted if parents are unavailable.

Please list at least 2 local emergency contacts for your children.
