Parent Access to the School
School security is paramount for student safety and for this reason parents are required to enter the School via the General Office where they will be asked to sign in.
Working with Children Checks
Working With Children Checks are required for visitors and volunteers in schools. As a result, any parent or carer who wishes to attend an excursion and supervise a group of students (e.g. visiting the zoo, museum, Scienceworks, etc) will need to provide the school with a Volunteer Working With Children Check and to sign a Code of Conduct declaration. Obviously, the primary duty of care always falls to our teachers. Working with children's checks for volunteers are free. To apply visit: ww.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au. These checks aren’t required for parents who attend sessions such as Parent Helpers program as activities such as this are exempt under the guidelines. If you have any questions or need assistance, please see the principal.
