Before and after school supervision
Student safety at Werribee PS is our highest priority and the safe and appropriate supervision of students is an important element of our duty of care to students. Part of this duty is ensuring parents and students are aware of our student supervision arrangements before and after school.

We kindly ask for your cooperation in ensuring a smooth and safe transition at the end of the school day (3:10 – 3:20 pm).  After school hours, the playgrounds, Spider Web, Gaga Pit, and oval are not available for student use, as our staff need to lock the gates and attend meetings. Additionally, our Camp Australia program uses the grounds, and our gym is hired for other activities, so we need to keep these spaces clear.

We ask that students leave the school grounds promptly and safely after dismissal.

However, students are welcome to enjoy the playgrounds before school, from 8:30 – 8:50 am, and during recess and lunch breaks. To ensure safe play, each playground is designated for specific year levels based on height:

  • The playground outside Rooms 5 & 6 is for Foundation and Year 1 students
  • The playground outside Rooms 7 to 10 is for Year 2 and 3 students
  • The playground behind the Wedge Building near the oval is for students in Years 4-6

Thank you for your understanding and support in helping us maintain a safe and organised school environment for everyone!


Before school: School grounds are supervised at 8:30 am. Students are able to enter from any gate.  Gates will be locked at 8:50 am.  After this time please use Gate 1.


After school: School grounds are supervised until 3:20 pm.  Any student not collected by this time will be taken to the office and contact made with the child's parent or carer.

Students on school grounds outside these times will not be supervised (unless they are attending a before or after school care program or supervised extracurricular activity).

Parents/carers are requested to ensure that students do not attend school outside of these supervised times unless they are attending before or after school care, or a pre-arranged supervised activity (i.e. sports practice).

Families are encouraged to contact Camp Australia for more information about the before and after school care facilities available to our school community.
