Enrolling at Liddiard Road Primary
Children who will reach the age of five years on or before 30th April may commence school in January of that year.
Parents are required to complete a Confidential Student Enrolment form prior to their child commencing school. A birth certificate and Immunisation Status certificate is also required for Prep enrolments.
An enrolment form may be obtained from the school office or downloaded here.
Confidential Information
It
is most important that your family details given on the Confidential
Student Information form be kept up to date. Please notify the school
if there are any subsequent changes to this information, e.g. Change of
address, telephone number or emergency contact.
It is essential that parents give complete and accurate information to
the school. If your child has a medical history of asthma, anaphylaxis,
epilepsy, diabetes, allergies etc; the school must be informed of
medication prescribed, especially preventative measures.
You can download the Student Medical Details form here. Please fill it in and return it to the office so the school can retain a record of this information.
Emergency Contact
Personal
details listed on the family enrolment form have proved extremely
important in ensuring that your child is quickly taken care of in the
case of illness or an accident.
In situations requiring further care or treatment, the parent and other
parent nominated emergency contact person will be contacted immediately.
Ambulance
If
illness or injury is serious and parents or a contact person cannot be
located, the child will be conveyed to either a local clinic or
casualty section of the Latrobe Regional Hospital.
In an
emergency the ambulance is called. Parents are therefore encouraged to
be ambulance subscribers. The cost of any ambulance transport required
will be the parents’ responsibility.
Parent Involvement
We welcome and are most appreciative of the tremendous contributions made by parents to our school programs. Such involvement assists us in the achievement of many of our academic and social objectives.
Parents support the staff and their children’s education, by participating in excursions, sporting and cultural activities, assisting in classroom and intervention programs and processing resources.
Parent Queries Regarding Information or Assistance
Parents are welcome to approach the school in relation to any matter of concern. Please come to the office and arrange to see the Principal or Assistant Principal. Parent members of School Council are only too willing to bring any concerns or questions to the attention of a full meeting of the Council. Please make use of your representatives and help keep everyone well informed. We want to know about your views, concerns and ideas.
Naming Belongings
We ask that your child’s name be clearly marked on all articles that are brought to school, especially coats, windcheaters and jumpers. All clothing that has been unclaimed will be placed in a central position for children and parents to sort through. The lost property area is located outside the Reading Recovery Room. Unclaimed items unable to be used by the school will be donated to charitable organisations at the end of each term.
School Banking
The Commonwealth Bank of Victoria operates a service for children’s accounts. School bank day is Tuesday. Students need to hand their bankbooks with deposits into the office. These books are returned to the children on Wednesday or Thursday.
