Children in the Orchard should be collected by their parent/carer from their child’s classroom. If someone other than yourself is going to collect your child from school on a regular basis, please complete a ‘permission to collect my child’ form. If someone else will be collecting your child as a one off you need to inform the office in advance with the person's name or your child will not be released.

Parents/carers can nominate someone over the age of 13 to collect a child.

If your child is in Year 5 or 6, parents/carers must complete and sign the school’s permission form, if you wish your child to walk home alone. However, if your child attends a club which finishes later than the end of the school day, they must be collected at the end of the club.
