Appointments/interviews
Parents/caregivers are welcome to view the school in operation and to discuss aspects of the school and their student's progress with
school staff. However, it is desirable that an appointment is made, through the office, to ensure that staff are available. Appointments
are requested with Administration staff, in the office.
Visitors
Persons wishing to talk to students during school hours need to contact the office. Students are not able to receive telephone calls. If

Mobile phone policy
Students may bring mobile phones to school, but the phones must be checked into the office and left there. They will then be
collected from the office at the end of the school day. Refer to the schools Responsible Behaviour Plan for more details. Phones
will be confiscated if this policy is not followed.
Parents wishing to communicate urgently with students must use the normal school phone system. A message will be relayed to
the student who can call their parent back using a school phone from the office. Where required, a parent may be put through to
the student.
Illness/injury at school
A student who becomes ill should ask the class teacher's permission to leave the classroom, then report to the office with the
appropriate form. Any student who sustains an injury at school must report or be reported to the office immediately. Information
will be recorded in the "Accident Register" and appropriate action will be taken regarding first aid and/or medical attention and
parents/caregivers contacted if necessary.

approved activities, the following procedures must be followed:
- Medication Permission forms must be obtained from the office or downloaded from our website prior to administration of any
mediation.
- The instructions for the administration of the medication must be written on the container by the pharmacist at the doctor’s
directions. The instructions need to indicate specific times, as well as the quantity of medication to be administered.
- ALL medication must be handed in at the office for safe keeping. Inhalers should be kept at the school office.
- Non prescribed oral medication (such as analgesics and over the counter medication) will not be administered by school staff.
Under no circumstances should these medications be sent to school to be retained by/used at student’s discretion.
