St. Gabriel's Primary School is a child safe school. We are committed to embedding a culture of Child Safety, adhering to the Victorian Child Safe Standards: Managing the Risk of Child Abuse in Schools and School Boarding Premises (Ministeral Order No. 1359).

We believe that ensuring the safety of the students in our care is an integral part of who we are as a Catholic faith community. The school acts in accordance with the Ministerial Order through policies, procedures, measures and practices, staff training and, ultimately, through the strategies used in working with the students and families within our school community.

We continue to maintain and develop a safe and supportive learning environment where staff are focused on engaging students in meaningful, relevant and challenging learning experiences.

If at any time you have any issues or concerns you feel you need to raise please contact our Principal: Michelle Charlton or our Child Safety Officer: Alison Phillips 5174 5515.

Punctuality in arriving at school is important for the smooth functioning of school programs, for developing the children’s organisational skills and for the children’s feeling of security.

If your child is late to school arriving from 9.10am onwards due to an appointment or any other reason they must be signed in at the school office.

If your child is unwell, to speed up their recovery we recommend keeping your child at home until they are fully recovered.

Absentee notifications can be entered via PAM up to seven days, if you will be away longer than this you will be required to contact the office on 5174 5515.

Please note all absentee notifications must be completed via a Parent Notified Absence in PAM prior to 9.30am.  If we have not received notification you will be sent a message via SMS with regards to your student/s being absent for the day you will need to phone the admin office on 5174 5515 to advise the reason why the student is absent as this is a legal requirement.
