Before & After School Supervision

Student safety at Valkstone 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 from 8:45am, when the school gates are opened. Please do not drop your children off prior to this time, as they will be unsupervised as they are outside of school grounds.

After school: School grounds are supervised from the end of the school day at 3:30pm, until 3:45 when the gates are closed.

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 Debra Russell (Out of School Hours Care Coordinator) on either 0418-386-420 or refer to the OSHC page on the school website 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 outside of the hours of supervision.

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