Rationale: To ensure only authorised persons are in the school grounds at any time during the school day.

Purposes:

• To identify visitors to the school
• To ensure administration staff are aware of who is in the school throughout the day for security and emergency purposes
• To provide clear guidelines and procedures on identifying visitors

Process:

• All visitors to the school between 9.15am – 2.45pm are to sign in at reception/office on arrival and sign out on departure
• Visitors are to sign in and out on the administration ipad
• Administration staff will, when required, locate a staff member which a visitor may wish to meet or contact
• Staff members are encouraged to challenge any visitors to ensure they have reported to the office, signed in and their presence is legitimate.
• Any contractors working at the school site must do so under the supervision and knowledge of the Principal and Property Officer.
• The Principal must approve any non-staff members’ attendance at school for more than two (2) consecutive days.
• Prolonged or regular attendance of non-teaching staff may necessitate a police clearance.
• If a visitor repeatedly breaches sign in/sign out procedures there may be further action taken.
