SOCIALS
Socials are held at various times throughout the year to provide supervised entertainment to students of the school.
The following matters are relevant to the holding of socials at Trundle Central School.
Secondary socials will be organised by the Stage 5 Coordinator and the Stage 6 coordinator, while Primary Socials will be organised by the Primary Teachers. Attendance by staff at socials is voluntary. However, it is a requirement that at least (2) teachers indicate that they will be at the social before a social can be held.
Attendance at socials is a privilege extended to students. This privilege may be withdrawn if it is considered that a student's behaviour has been a source of concern and/or astudent has been consistently unco-operative.
Parents are invited to be present at all socials.
All information relevant to each social will be included on the newsletter prior to the social being held. Students should be expected home shortly after the advised finishing time of the social.
The onus is on students to behave in an acceptable manner when at socials. Students not behaving in an acceptable manner may be sent home and may not be invited to future socials.
Smoking and all forms of alcohol or other drugs are strictly forbidden at socials.
Socials will be restricted to students attending Trundle Central School and to approved guests invited by the school on special occasions.
If students wish to leave the social early, a note from a parent or guardian must be given to the teacher organising the social advising of this.

Toilets will be opened as required. Movement to and from the toilets will be supervised at all times.
