Picking up and dropping off students
School Bus Pick-ups and Drop-offs
For the safety of our children, we would like to remind parents that children catching our white Coaster school bus will be dropped off in the afternoon ONLY at the address from which they are picked up in the morning.
Attempts to accommodate parents who ring during the school day asking that their children be dropped off elsewhere have resulted in a number of confusing situations, whereby children have ended up going home to an empty house or to a house where they are not expected. Children who do not live in Ranch/Garden/Reserve/old town/Hidden Valley may not catch our bus home to a different address. Your child cannot be dropped off at a different address unless it is an emergency situation (eg you have an emergency visit to the hospital and an arrangement has been made for your child to be cared by another family member or friend).
Many thanks for your cooperation.

Dr Patricia Elder
Kununurra School Dental Clinic
As the school calendar for the new year begins I would formally like to introduce myself as the new Dentist in town; Dr Patricia Elder.
I am currently working in Kununurra for the Government Dental Health Services which also incorporates and oversees the School Dental Service. We are a combined service, school and adult clinic which is located on the hospital grounds. Our dental Therapist is Elena Roche and her assistant Jenny Nguyen. Parents are to contact the school service for their children’s examinations.
Their contact details are M: 0419 939 179 and email: kununurramobile@dental.health.wa.gov.au. Our opening times are 7:30am to 3:30pm and we are closed on the school holidays and public holidays.
Payment
To simplify the ordering process and minimise the amount of cash being handled at school, we ask that all Book Club orders are paid for by credit card. Thank you
