Music Camp – 17th – 19th June Tootgarook PS aims to provide a safe and secure environment for our students, staff and resources, within established protocols and procedures that effectively monitors and manages visitors/volunteers, whilst not compromising the open and inviting nature of the school. Whilst we actively encourage an inviting and open school, the safety of our students, staff and resources remain our highest priorities.

1. Visitors are defined as all people other than staff members, students, and parents / guardians involved in the task of delivering or collecting children at the start or end of the school day.

2. All visitors will be required to report to the School General Office prior to undertaking any activity within the school, where they will be required to sign a ‘Visitors’ book and will be assigned ‘Visitors’ badge which they must wear at all times within the school. Similarly, visitors will be required to report to the administration office at the end of their visit to return their badge and to ‘sign out” in the Visitors book.

3. Visitors and volunteers are also expected: to be outstanding role models for all students to work under the professional direction of staff, following school policies to speak in a respectful and friendly manner to all students and staff to maintain confidentiality to report any issues of concern to teachers (and not directly intervene) to keep a safe and professional distance from all students

4. Volunteers working in any capacity with children will be required to present a satisfactory ‘Working With Children Check’ documentation.

5. The Principal / Assistant Principal reserves the right, and has the authority to prohibit any potential visitor from entering or remaining within the school, and also has the authority to invite or exclude people from using or being within the school boundaries outside school operating hours.

6. The school’s Emergency Management procedures will ensure that visitors within the school at the time of any emergency or practice drill will be recognised and be appropriately catered for.

The principal has operational responsibility in relation to the parents / guardians/siblings/ visitors and volunteers who are allowed into schools, for what purpose and on what conditions. We ask that during morning drop up, recess, lunchtime and afternoon pick up to keep a safe and professional distance from students while they engage in their activities. In this way we are providing a safe workplace for all concerned.

Student of the Week Students will be presented with certificates at Monday morning assembly.
