Yard Duty

Student safety at Mount Dandenong 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, during and after school.

Before school: School grounds are supervised from 8:45am.

Recess: 11:00 – 11:30am

Lunch: 1:40 – 2:30pm

After school: School grounds are supervised until 3:45pm.

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).

At recess and lunch times, there will always be a minimum of two staff members supervising the school grounds.

Families are encouraged to contact the office on (03) 9751 1136 and see below 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. For a copy of our school’s Yard Duty and Supervision Policy, contact the school office. This policy includes Mount Dandenong Primary School’s student supervision arrangements across the school day, including before and after school.
