AmbulanceIf illness or injury is serious and parents or a contact person cannot be located, the child will be conveyed to either a local clinic or casualty section of the Latrobe Regional Hospital.
In an emergency the ambulance is called. Parents are therefore encouraged to be ambulance subscribers. The cost of any ambulance transport required will be the parents’ responsibility.
Parent Involvement
We welcome, and are most appreciative of, the tremendous contributions made by parents to our school programs. Such involvement assists us in the achievement of many of our academic and social objectives.
Parents support the staff and their children’s education by participating in sporting and cultural activities, assisting in classroom and intervention programs, and processing resources.
Parent Queries Regarding Information or AssistanceParents are welcome to approach the school in relation to any matter of concern. Please come to the office and arrange to see the Principal or Assistant Principal. Parent members of School Council are only too willing to bring any concerns or questions to the attention of a full meeting of the Council. Please make use of your representatives and help keep everyone well informed. We want to know about your views, concerns and ideas.
Naming BelongingsWe ask that your child’s name be clearly marked on all articles that are brought to school, especially coats, windcheaters and jumpers. All clothing that has been unclaimed will be placed in a central position for children and parents to sort through. The lost property area is located outside the Reading Recovery Room. Unclaimed items unable to be used by the school will be donated to charitable organisations at the end of each term.
