Dog on school grounds


Dog on school grounds

Please do not bring your dog onto school grounds at any time.

Dogs are prohibited from being on or near the grounds of preschools and primary schools as outlined by City Services ACT. If you choose to walk your dog while dropping off or collecting your children from school please wait a safe distance from entry and exit points to ensure the safety of students and your pets.

Prohibited areas for dogs unless they are an assistance animal with a permit relevant to our school are:

  • child-care centres, preschools and primary schools
  • high schools and secondary colleges during school hours (or when school sports or training is being conducted, including after-hours training)
  • fields, ovals and playing areas when formal sport is being played
  • within 10 metres of a public play space (if children are playing on it)

Penalties for bringing dogs onto school grounds do apply as listed in City Services ACT.
