Absence from School
In the case of students being absent, please log via the BCE Connect app or the Parent Portal. Please try to ensure that medical and dental appointments be made, if possible, outside school hours. Any absences of more than 10 days need to be advised in advance to the school office so the appropriate government paperwork can be completed.

Before School
The school provides supervision for students from 8am. Students should not be dropped at school before this time. Parents needing to drop children to school before 8am are encouraged to use the OSHC service whihc offers care from 6:30am.
Students arriving after 8.45am must report to the school office to obtain a late slip. Students arriving after 8:45am must be signed in by a parent.
Dismissal
Students will be dismissed at 3.00pm.
-
Students going to after school care will report directly to the centre (Prep students are collected by OSHC staff from their classrooms).
-
Students going home with parents will meet their parents at the grass area between the church and the library. We ask parents not to go to classrooms as it leads to congestion on the path to the car park.
-
Students being picked up in cars report to the car park end of the grass area between the church and the library where the duty teacher will be waiting.
-
Students who ride their bikes go directly to their bikes.
Except in the case of supervised school activities, all students should have left the school grounds each afternoon by no later than 3.30pm.
Early departures must be arranged through the school office i.e. those collecting students must proceed to the office where the office staff will contact the class teacher. Students must be signed out at the office before leaving the school grounds.
