Student safety at Albion Primary School is our highest priority and the safe and appropriate supervision of students is an important element of our duty of care to students.

Part of this duty is ensuring parents and students are aware of our student supervision arrangements before and after school.

Before school: School grounds are supervised at 8:50am - 9:00am prior to the start of the school day. They are allowed to be on the asphalt and courtyard area before school. If children want to use the playground or be in the garden with the chickens during this time, they must be supervised by their own parent or guardian or in a mutual arrangement with another parent who has agreed to supervise your child.

After school: School grounds are supervised from 3:20 - 3:55pm. Once children have been picked up in the afternoon, and they remain in the school grounds, supervision is the responsibility of the person who picked them up.

Students on school grounds outside these times will not be supervised. Parents/carers are requested to ensure that students do not attend school outside of these supervised times unless they are attending a pre-arranged supervised activity

Every now and then, we have specific activities, such as Breakfast Club or sports training/clinics before or after school. These activities are supervised. Students participating in them are able to be in the area pertaining to that activity, without their parent or guardian.

Families can contact the leadership team on 9311 1325 for more information about the before and after school care facilities available to our school community or if you would like any further information about our student supervision arrangements.

For a copy of our school’s Yard Duty and Supervision Policy, contact the school office. This policy includes Albion Primary School’s student supervision arrangements across the school day, including before and after school.

Some students are being dropped off at school way too early. While the school is open, general yard supervsion does not start until 8:50am. OSH Club is available for those families who need to drop students off early. You need to enrol in OSH Club and then book as required.

If children are in the yard before 8:50am and it is raining, they are to go undercover.

If it is still raining at 8:50am, an announcement will be made for students to go into their classrooms, at which time, class teachers will take over the supervision. It is not the responsibility of the office manager to supervise students before or after school.
