Daily Procedures
Before school
Students are not to arrive at school before 8:15 am unless they are participating in a pre-arranged school activity.
After school
At the end of the school day, students should exit the school grounds unless they are being picked up, at which point they are to wait inside the school grounds until their parent or guardian arrives.
Late arrivals
Students are required to be signed in at the school office if they arrive after 8.50 am.
Early departures
If you need to collect your child during the school day for an appointment please do so at the start or end of lunch break times as it is very difficult to locate children in the playground during play time. Break times are as follows:
- Morning tea 10.50am to 11.20am
- Big Lunch 1.00pm to 1.45pm
Please contact the office in the morning via email admin@rochedalss.eq.edu.au to advise that you will be collecting your child during school hours. Please ensure your child knows how they are going home BEFORE they come to school. If there is an emergency and you need to get a message to your child, please phone before 2.30pm. Rochedale SS is a big school with many families and when multiple parents ring in the final minutes of the day and expect our staff to relay messages, it becomes a great concern that these messages may not get to the children.
Assembly
Whole school assemblies are held weekly on Fridays at 9.00am.
Parents are welcome to attend. Assemblies are a celebration of student success and learning achievement.
