Student Supervision
Student safety at Grovedale College 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 until the commencement of class
After school: School grounds are
supervised until 3:30pm
Students on school grounds outside these
times will not be supervised (unless
they are attending a supervised extracurricular activity).
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 (i.e. sports practice).
For a copy of our school’s Yard Duty and
Supervision Policy contact the school administration office. This policy
includes Grovedale College’s student supervision arrangements across the school
day, including before and after school.
