Clyde PS was established on its current site in 1910, and is located in the growing community of Clyde in the City of Casey. The school is 5 kilometres east of Cranbourne and 10 kilometres south of Berwick. Clyde Primary School is growing quickly with continued substantial growth expected over the next few years.
The school facilities are being re-developed and modernised from 2021. Works include 11 new general learning areas, specialist art, STEM and music areas as well as a full-size gymnasium with a competition-grade basketball court and additional play spaces for our students. There will also be refurbishment to our school’s existing buildings to provide a new library and staff work areas.
We have a fantastic school community with a highly valued home-school partnership and involved parent community.
I hope you will feel as proud as I do to belong to our school community,

Policies
Below you can find a number of our policies.
We also advise parents visit the Department Of Education’s policy library website for additional policies we operate under.
Supervision Arrangements
Student safety at Clyde Primary School is our highest priority and the safe and appropriate supervision of students is an important element of our duty of care to students. Part of this duty is ensuring parents and students are aware of our student supervision arrangements before and after school.
Before school: School grounds are supervised from 8.50am to 9am each morning. Staff supervise at the main gate, outside the office and the Foundation gate.
After school: School grounds are supervised from 3.30pm-3.45pm each afternoon. Staff supervise at the main gate, outside the office and the Foundation gate.
Students on school grounds outside these times will not be supervised unless they are attending a before or after school care program or supervised extracurricular activity.
Parents/carers are requested to ensure that students do not attend school outside of these supervised times unless they are attending before or after school care, or a pre-arranged supervised activity.
Families are encouraged to contact Team Kids on 0423 045 716 or refer to https://www.teamkids.com.au/venues/clyde-primary-school-oshc-6/ for more information about the before and after school care facilities available to our school community or if you would like any further information about our student supervision arrangements.
For a copy of our school’s Yard Duty and Supervision Policy contact the school office. This policy includes Clyde Primary School’s student supervision arrangements across the school day, including before and after school.
