The WA Primary Principals’ Association is calling for parents to stop dropping their children to school too early, saying it exceeds their duty of care.
President of the Association Ian Anderson says students turning up early is a growing problem for schools, with many banning before school play for the safety and welfare of students.
A spokesperson for the education department says “it is important to consider what is fair and appropriate for staff when it comes to supervision outside of school hours,” urging parents to consider before and after- school care options.
