Primary 3-6: Duty of Care

Dear Parents

Just a reminder that there are no staff on duty in the playgrounds before 8.10am.  Students who arrive between 8am and 8.10am may sit quietly in the Library.

If at all possible, we would appreciate students arriving at school after 8.10am as we are unable to offer duty of care until then.

In the afternoon, staff are on duty from 3.10pm – 3.30pm.  We are unable to provide duty of care after 3.30pm.  To ensure the safety and wellbeing of our children, we ask that parents are present after 3.30pm to provide supervision.

OSH Club is available for all Primary students at the ELC, for before school and after school care.  Their website is www.oshclub.com.au

Thank you for your kind consideration in this regard.
