Children are not expected to be in attendance at school before 8.15am with the exception of those children travelling on school buses and those who have permission from the Principal. Children are to remain seated in MacKillop Place until 8.15am. Children should not expect to be in their classroom before 8.20am to allow teachers to finalise their preparations for the day. Supervision is provided from 8.15am to 8.35am by a teacher on duty in MacKillop Place. At this time children are to be at MacKillop Place or the playground. No child is to be in a classroom without a teacher.
Teachers are rostered for playground duty during all lunch periods.
At the conclusion of school, children are supervised in MacKillop Place to 3.20pm.
It is inadvisable to have children at school before 8.00am and after 3.15pm as staff may not be available to attend to injuries should they occur.

Any absences from school need to be explained by logging into your Parent Lounge, a short note, telephone call or personal contact to the school office as soon as is practicable. If a child is absent from school without explanation from a parent, a text message will be sent by the school office to clarify the nature and likely length of absence. If parents choose to withdraw students from school due to holiday commitments, there is to be no expectation made of the class teacher to provide work for him/her.

All late arrivals need to be signed in through the school office. All early departures are to be collected from the school office only.

Each Friday whole school assemblies are held in MacKillop Place. Assembly time is 8.35am. Regularly, classes are rostered to lead the school assembly in prayer or presentations based on classroom activities or to celebrate significant achievements or occasions. Notices are given, birthdays acknowledged, singing of the National Anthem and Student of the Week Awards are presented. Parents are always welcome and encouraged to attend assemblies.
