If you know you will be collecting your student/s up early please arrange a Leave Request, or phone ahead to advise you are on your way to collect a student. This saves on waiting times and interruptions on class learning.
Leave Requests can be arranged at the office by both students and parents. Information needed is; the reason for the early pickup and the time the student/s is needed at the office for collection.
We can then issue a 'Leave Request' pass.
(Note: if parents call or email please remind your child to come to the Student window to collect their leave request).
Students can then show their teacher the pass, and at the nominated time come and wait at the office for your arrival.
Parents MUST still come to the office (student counter at the back of Administration) and sign students out before they leave school grounds.
Please call (07) 5540 9222 or email info@ormeauwoodsshs.eq.edu.au if you have any questions.
