Supervision – Before and After School

Student safety at Clarinda PS 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 10 minutes prior to the 8:50am bell.

After school: School grounds are supervised 10 minutes after the 3:30pm bell.

8:50am             First Bell – students line up and teachers collect the students.

Families are encouraged to contact Camp Australia via campaustralia.com.au.
