Thank you for the wonderful start to the year

DROP OFF POINTS FOR STUDENTS

We would like to remind you that the College has identified the Wellington Street entrance and the Quad area as a safety issue of concern. This is a very high traffic area with students going about their daily business, especially at the beginning and end of the College day. The commencement of the building project has also impacted on the traffic in Wellington Street so we  ask that parents transporting students pick up and drop off their students at either the Cain Street or Craigie Ave entrances.

STUDENT DRIVER PERMITS

Students who are driving cars to school are required to apply for a parking permit from the College office, these permits must be updated at the beginning of each calendar year. On change of license conditions, the new drivers’ license must be presented to the College office for copying and a new driving permit will be issued. If the student wishes to transport passengers who are students at Roncalli; these must be named on the application and the parent of the passenger must authorise this. Random audits shall occur by staff supervising the carpark area. These shall be to check for parking compliance, authorised passengers, and vehicle WOF.

GENERAL EXPECTATIONS

Students are expected to be clean, neat and tidy in appearance and come to school with the correct equipment, device and charger.

SICKNESS 

Students should not ring to explain an absence, this should be done by a parent/guardian. The parent/guardian should phone the College Office in the morning of each day they are absent or report it on the KAMAR App. The Office appreciates if parents ring any time before 8.30am and leave a message on the answer phone, otherwise all messages should be received by 10am to ensure accuracy of attendance; texts are sent to parents/caregivers if no information has been received to confirm a student’s whereabouts. Parents are encouraged to log onto the portal to record a student absence.

APPOINTMENTS DURING SCHOOL HOURS

Students must sign in/out as appropriate through the College Office. When signing out, a student MUST have a note from their parent/caregiver that explains/ justifies leaving the College grounds. Parents are also encouraged to log onto the portal to record a student appointment absence. It is expected that students schedule appointments outside class time. Only medical appointments or those with outside educational agencies are treated as justified absences. Driving lessons, haircuts and the like are not reasons for signing out during College hours and therefore missing out on class teaching time.
