Collecting your child each day
Our policy is that ALL children attending the Before School Care, After School Care or the Holiday Programme are signed out by an authorised adult. Always inform staff if a child has to be collected by a person other than the parent or caregiver. When you collect your child, it is essential that you let a supervisor know that you are taking your child home. You must use the tablet at all times to sign in and sign out. Last pickup time is 5.30 pm. Late collection will incur late pick up charges of $5.00 per minute. (The Holiday Programme closes at 5pm).
Emergencies
There will always be one supervisor that holds a current First Aid Certificate. In the case of an accident involving your child, the staff will contact you. In the event of a civil emergency, staff will remain with children in the centre or a safe place until all children are collected.Parents will at all times be communicated with via HERO.
Complaints
If you have any concerns, please approach a staff member directly in the first instance, they will be happy to assist you. However, if you wish to contact the Principal, Mr James Murray, please do so through the school office.
I acknowledge that by enrolling my child into St Mary's Before School Care or After School Care or the Holiday Programme the supervisor has my permission to arrange any necessary urgent medical treatment at my cost.
