Arrival
Students are required to be at school ready for the first bell at 8:45am. An arrival at 8.35am is ideal, so that there is sufficient time to unpack bags and visit the toilet etc. Please do not allow students to arrive at school too early as there is NO formal supervision in place prior to 8:30am of the school day, as teachers are busy preparing lessons or meeting with parents/administration on school or curriculum issues.
Students who arrive between 8:15am and 8:45am must go directly to the Tuckshop area.
Departure
School departure time is 2:55pm. Staff supervise student at the pickup zone located at the front gate. Children not collected by 3:15pm will be brought to the Office area to await collection.
Please avoid early departures if possible. While we understand that there are legitimate reasons for students leaving school early, every time a parent takes a student early, it involves an Administration Officer having to ring a classroom. This disrupts the class and the lesson in progress. It also means your son/daughter will miss homework instructions, note distribution and end of day revision etc. If an early pick-up is absolutely necessary, parents must visit the office first and meet with an administrator to explain the reason for the early departure.
Note that for Prep, an adult to adult hand-over and pick-up is necessary at arrival and departure times.
Thank your for your co-operation and support with these procedures.
Parents who have work commitments before and after school are requested to organise supervised care for their children and not leave them at school unsupervised prior to 8:15am.
