RAISING A COMPLAINT OR CONCERN

Kings Park Primary School acknowledges that parents and caregivers have a right to raise concerns and air complaints they may have and to have them addressed appropriately. The School’s approach to handling concerns and complaints is based on a commitment to: • provide a safe and supportive learning environment • build relationships between students, parents and staff • provide a safe working environment for staff.

Parents wishing to raise a concern or complaint should contact KPPS in the first instance and telephone, visit or write to: • The student's teacher, if the issue occurred in the student’s class • The year level coordinator or Assistant Principal, if the incident occurred before school, after school or during recess breaks and involved students from several classes or year levels • The Assistant Principal, if the issue relates to staff members or complex student issues • The Principal, if the issue relates to school policy, school management, staff members or very complex student issues *If the complainant is not sure whom to contact they should contact the Assistant Principal.

Please note - AT NO TIME IS IT APPROPRIATE FOR A PARENT TO DIRECTLY ADDRESS OR CONFRONT ANOTHER STUDENT RIDING BIKES TO AND FROM SCHOOL Last term we were made aware that some children have been

riding bikes to and from school. As a school we have

generally discouraged riding to school as a means of transport

for primary school age children, to minimize the risk for our

students. The recommendation from the Education

Department states that children under the age of twelve years

do not have the neuro-physiological and psychological

development to cope with complex traffic situations on their

own. Please contact the office if you have nay questions

regarding this policy.

CONSUMABLE ITEM PAYMENT AND CSEF GRANT

The Consumable Item payment of $130.00 per child is now

overdue. This payment covers the Student’s Essential Items

which are the books, stationery pencils, etc. that they will need

for the entire year. A breakdown of these items was sent

home with your child’s report at the end of 2016. If you

would like a copy of this please call at the school office.

A payment booklet is available for families who wish to pay this amount in instalments. A deposit is required and then we will issue you with a payment book.

CSEF GRANT

If you have a current Health Care Card or Pension Card and

have not yet claimed for the CSEF Grant, could you do so as

soon as possible as applications close shortly.
