JUNIOR SCHOOL ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE & ABSENCES

To help ensure our students are safe at all times, we ask that you follow the guidelines around drop off and pick up and report any student absences through MyMentone/Parent Lounge (clink on the button for details).

Junior School Drop-Off
  • 8.00 – 8.30am
  • Do not arrive before 8.00am (excluding pre-arranged music/cocurricular tuition)

Junior students should arrive via one of these locations:

  • Avenue of Honour (Lucerne Street)
  • Junior drop-off zone (Mentone Aquatic car park)

Please utilise the drop-off zone and exterior gates to say goodbye in the mornings, enabling children to make their way into the School grounds independently.

If arriving between 8.00 – 8.30am, students should make their way to the Bayview/Junior Oval where they will be supervised by Junior School staff until classrooms open at 8.30am.

Junior School Pick-Up
  • 3.15pm (NOTE: Years 7 – 12 finish at 3.30pm)

There are a number of options for collection of Junior School students at the end of the School day:

  • Junior pick-up zone (Mentone Aquatic car park)
  • Parents must loop around if their child/ren have not yet arrived in the area and must remain in vehicles to enable a smooth flow of traffic.

OR/on foot from the following locations:

  • Foundation: Staff will escort Foundation students out to meet parents at the climbing frame. This is accessible via Gate 11 on Lucerne Street.
  • Year 1: Students can be collected from the Magic Garden where they will be supervised by staff until 3.30pm.
  • Years 2 – 6: Students can be collected from the Avenue of Honour gate on Lucerne Street, or from the Gate 6 pedestrian gate next to Mentone Aquatics for students exiting from the bike shed. Foundation, Year 1 and Year 2 students will also exit from this pedestrian gate on their swimming days.

Junior students waiting for older siblings or OMBC (basketball) training collection will be supervised in the Magic Garden by a Junior School staff member until 3.30pm when they can be collected either by a coach, parent/carer, or an older sibling.
