Friendly Schools Plus
Hello to the Scotch College Community. Within the Friendly Schools Plus Pastoral Care program Duty of Care is an essential element that requires both the College staff and the parenting body to work closely together in order to be sure that your boys are always in a safe place and that an adult is aware of their location throughout the school day. With that in mind below I have listed the procedures we are adhering to in the Junior School for the before school and after school pick-up routines for 2015:
BEFORE SCHOOL:
- Drop off should not be before 8.10am except in cases of emergency. In these situations please contact the Deputy of Pastoral Care and Administration (Ms Hooper) to work out an arrangement.
- 2 staff members will be available and visible in the playground from 8.10am to 8.35am. They will be wearing a fluorescent orange vest.
- Drop-off should occur at the entrance to the new Library.
- Boys are asked to place their school bags to the right of the door when entering the Library.
- A bell will sound at 8.30am. This is the signal for the students and staff to move into the classrooms.
- Parents who are running later than 8.35am are encouraged to ring the Junior School administration to alert them of the situation.
AFTER SCHOOL:
- Pick-up is scheduled for 3.15pm
- Locations for pick up are at the Kiss and Go drive at the entrance from Stirling Rd, at the Gooch Pavilion or from the home classroom.
- At 3.25pm any remaining students will be returned to the Library where they can be collected until 4pm.
- Parents who are running later than usual are encouraged to ring the Junior School administration to alert them of the situation. The administration team can then supervise the child until pick-up.
