Enrolments School: Children must be 6 years old on or before 30 June of the year of enrolment into Year 1 at a State School. Because of restricted facilities, there is an enrolment management plan in place. Please contact the office to enquire about eligibility for automatic entry or to add names to the waiting list. Preparatory Year: Children must be 5 by 30 June in the year they start Prep. In 2007 Prep replaced preschool in Queensland. It is a full-time program and children attend from Monday to Friday during normal school hours, from 8:45am – 2:45pm. Prep is integrated fully into the rest of the school. Classrooms and other facilities are located in school grounds. 2. Family Information Upon enrolment information is recorded for use in emergencies, e.g. address and telephone numbers for immediate contact. TO AVOID SERIOUS DISTRESS FOR YOUR CHILD IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE INFORMATION BE KEPT UP TO DATE. 3. New Children Each class allocates host children to welcome new children and show them around the campus and help them make friends and settle in quickly to the school routine. 12
Strive to Achieve 4. Attendance Punctuality and regularity in attendance are essential. Those children who do not attend regularly are placed at a disadvantage throughout their school life. When a child is absent through illness or other causes, a note to the class teacher or call to our 24 hour Student Absence Line (3326 9360) is required. Where absence from school is likely to be prolonged, it is required that the school be advised as soon as possible. When a child arrives late to school they must be signed in as a Late Arrival at the school Administration office. 5. Arrival and Departure Parents are advised that children should not arrive at school before 8.30am as playground equipment is out of bounds. Students who arrive at school before 8.30am wait in the Covered Games Court until the bell rings. Children should be ready to begin work in class by 9.00am. Lunch breaks are 11:00 – 11:30am and 1:00 – 1:40pm. The first fifteen minutes of each break is a supervised eating time. School finishes at 3:00pm. Prep students attend school from 8.45am until 2:45pm. After school, children waiting for their parents move to their respective pick up area. We have a travel safe program to ease the traffic problem. Children going to After School Care assemble under the Years 6 & 7 building. Children using buses are to go as quickly as possible to their bus stop. Excellent behaviour is expected on buses. Bus routes are included later in the handbook. Children are not to play in the playground at this time as there is no supervision. Those being collected by car go to Pringle Street or Massey Street and stand behind the “yellow line” – parents drive past and children walk out to their car when it arrives at the head of the line. At 3.20pm a bell is rung and any child not collected waits outside the Administration building. These rules are made for the safety and well being of children. Children catching a bus, wait at the respective bus stops. Children are expected to behave well on the way to and from school, particularly on public transport. A bike cage is situated on the oval for children riding to and from school. Bikes need to be chained for security. Parents who have work or other commitments and require supervision for their children outside of school hours can contact the After School Hours Care provided by PCYC. The Passenger zones in Pringle and Massey Streets are designated two minute drop-off and pick-up areas for the safety of our children. 13
