We are continuing to learn that Gratitude is paying attention to what we have.

We are very grateful to our amazing SRC students and teachers.

Each homeroom, with their help, has created thoughtful, eye catching posters about the Gratitude happening in their learning.

If you need to make a formal complaint about an issue at the school please find our Complaint Handling Procedure on the St Gabriel's Website

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT & SAFETY

Parents are asked to drive carefully and observe the following traffic arrangements:

• The turning circle at the end of Rangeview Drive is a designated “no standing” zone.
• The school car park is used for staff cars only.
• Where parents stop on the south side of Rangeview Drive it is asked that children walk around the cul-de-sac rather than crossing the busy road.
• Parents utilising the drop off/pick up area must turn in the cul-de-sac and enter the carpark at 10kph.
• Parents are not to leave their cars whilst dropping children off in the drop off zone.
• Children are to enter and exit the cars from the footpath.
• No persons are permitted to walk across the carpark.

Key points to consider:

• If your child is not present at pick up time, then you will need to leave and come back. It is a NO STANDING ZONE
• If traffic is banked up in the drop off/pick up, then use the through lane (as shown on the map) in the carpark to keep traffic moving in Rangeview Drive.
• Parents must notify the school if children are to be collected by people other than immediate family.

St. Gabriel's Primary School is a child safe school. We are committed to embedding a culture of Child Safety, adhering to the Victorian Child Safe Standards: Managing the Risk of Child Abuse in Schools and School Boarding Premises (Ministeral Order No. 1359).

We believe that ensuring the safety of the students in our care is an integral part of who we are as a Catholic faith community. The school acts in accordance with the Ministerial Order through policies, procedures, measures and practices, staff training and, ultimately, through the strategies used in working with the students and families within our school community.

We continue to maintain and develop a safe and supportive learning environment where staff are focused on engaging students in meaningful, relevant and challenging learning experiences.

If at any time you have any issues or concerns you feel you need to raise please contact our Principal: Michelle Charlton or our Child Safety Officers: Alison Phillips or Jo Quinn on 5174 5515.
