Before and after school supervision arrangements

Student safety at Heywood Consolidated 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 8:30am in the playground. A bell will sound at 8:45am allowing students to enter classrooms, under the supervision of classroom teachers.

​

After school: School grounds are supervised at the bus shelter and main entrance gates until 3:30pm. Students will then be brought to the office to contact parents/carers.

​

Students on school grounds outside these times will not be supervised (unless they are attending a before or after school care program or supervised extracurricular activity).

​

Parents/carers are requested to ensure that students do not attend school outside of these supervised times unless they are attending before or after school care, or a pre-arranged supervised activity (i.e. sports practice).

Families are encouraged to contact on the school office on 5527 1200 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 Heywood Consolidated School’s student supervision arrangements across the school day, including before and after school.

​

The office is open from 8.30am - 4.00pm.  Before and after these times, staff are preparing lessons or materials for students. Appointments can be made to see teachers to discuss any concerns.
