Before and After School Care

Student safety at Kingston Heath Primary School is our highest priority and the safe and appropriate supervision of students is an important element of our duty of care to students. Part of this duty is ensuring parents and students are aware of our student supervision arrangements before and after school.

Before school: School grounds are supervised from 8:45am each morning.

After school: School grounds are supervised until 3:45pm each afternoon (or 15 minutes following the dismissal of students on days in which the school day officially concludes earlier, such as the final days of term).

Students on school grounds outside these times will not be supervised (unless they are attending a before or after school care program – see below for more information – or supervised extracurricular activity). Parents/carers are requested to ensure that students do not attend school outside of these supervised times unless they are attending before or after school care, or a pre-arranged supervised activity.

Families are encouraged to contact TheirCare directly on 1300 072 410 for more information about the before and after school care options available to our school community, including during school holidays and student-free days.

Kingston Heath Primary School Council

• Is the focal point for decision making on overall school policies.
• Is the governing body of the school.
• Is a representative body with a membership reflecting the important partnership between student, teacher and home.
• Is accountable to the local school community and to the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development.
• School Council meets regularly, generally on the third Wednesday of every month. Our School Council has sub committees which meet separately and make recommendations to School Council in their specific areas of responsibility. Sub Committees meet at arranged times throughout each term.

Drop Off & Parking Arrangements

We have different types of parking at the front of our school. Parents/Carers are asked to ensure community safety, abiding the procedures set out below.

‘Kiss and Go’ allows our community to stop their vehicle for no more than 2 minutes. Kiss & Go zones work efficiently if everyone abides by the time restrictions and moves on. Drivers can also shuffle up to the next free space while waiting for their child/ren. This allows cars to enter the drop off zone from the back, rather than attempting to parallel park in front of our school at a busy time.

‘No Parking’ means that you can stop your car and get out to help your child/ren in and out of the car. However, the driver cannot move more than 3 metres from the car. This allows you to help your child/ren onto the adjacent footpath, but no further.

‘No Stopping’ means that you cannot stop along the section of road AT ALL. That doesn’t just mean stopping to park or drop off, but stopping your car, even with the engine running.

Please observe the safety signs regarding u-turns outside the school.

Further Parking is available in adjoining side streets.
