  • A pair of ‘inside’ shoes or slippers are to be worn inside
  • Children should not play in the toilet area
  • The Library is a special area and is not for playing in unless children are given special permission
  • The creek is not for playing in, and we want to keep it clean - please don’t throw ‘unnatural’ items in creek
  • It is unsafe to play in the car park or on the central mound - these areas are out of bounds.
  • It is dangerous to play among the reeds and this area is out of bounds
  • Cubbies are wonderful, but remember nails, metal and tunnelling are not appropriate
  • After school, children need to be under the pergola / paved shade-cloth area so the teacher on duty can keep a close watch on the car park
  • Please don’t bring toys to school (a comforting doll or small soft toy can be an exception and up to two Matchbox cars can be brought to play with in the sandpit)
  • Speak decently - bad language is not acceptable
  • Appropriate food only - see Food Policy
  • No chewing gum or lollies - healthy lunches only please
  • No bicycle riding in school grounds
  • No domestic pets are allowed on the school property at any time, including weekends, holidays or other non-school days
  • No climbing on fences, gates or trees

Your child's class teacher will be working with the fundamental concepts of rights and responsibilities (of course, at age-appropriate levels).

The other side of rights are responsibilities.  Children need to be fully aware that by responsibly following the rules, they are helping to ensure the school is a safe and pleasant place to be.

Copies of the Discipline Policy are available from the office.
