Supervision across our campus

We provide student supervision on campus from 8:20am to 3:50pm each school day.

Parents/caregivers are reminded that Mercedes College cannot take responsibility for students who arrive on campus before 8:20am or depart after 3:50pm, unless they are involved in a College organised commitment.

Junior School students arriving prior to 8:20am are required to attend our Out of School Hours Care (OSHC) which is available from 7.20am and then again after school until 6pm, Monday to Friday.

Junior School students not collected by 3:50pm will be directed to Strathspey and phone contact will be made with parents/cargivers.

Middle and Senior School students are able to access supervised study time in the Carmel Bourke Library and Technology Centre from 7:30am before school, and until 5pm after school hours.

Students are required to leave the school grounds when their daily school commitments are complete.
