Classrooms at Allendale Primary are opened at 8.30am by the class room teacher. Students arriving before this time must follow the before school procedure which involves sitting in the undercover area outside the school canteen until they are released by duty staff.
We ask that students do not arrive at school prior to 8.15 am. Please see our Positive Behaviour Support procedures for more information regarding school procedures and expectations.

Students are not to be on school grounds before 8.15am. Students arriving with a parent/carer at 8.15am may hang their bag and sit quietly outside their classroom until doors open. Unsupervised students must sit in the undercover area near the canteen with their bags until they are released at 8.30am. Playgrounds, cluster rocks and oval are out of bounds before school.
Collecting students during school hours
If you need to collect your child during school hours, please go to the front office to sign your child out. You will be given a leave pass to give to your child’s teacher when you collect them from their classroom.
Contacting students during school hours
If you need to contact your child during school hours, please ring the front office on (08) 9923 6600, preferably before 1.30pm, so that your child can be called to the office during the recess and lunch time notices.
Bus Service
Geraldton Bus Services provide some opportunities for students to travel to and from school via bus. Students who catch the bus after school are to meet when they are released from class at the bottom of the stairs near the Art room. A staff member in a high visible vest will meet students and ensure they board the bus safely. Please click here for further information.
