Arrival Times
School does begin at 8.55am and we do ask that students are here by 8.45am in order to prepare for the day.

We do ask that students do not arrive on site before 8.15am and for younger students would prefer this to be 8.30am. In 2010 we are going to ask all students arriving before 8.15am to wait under the lime green shade cloth area next to the teacher workroom until 8.15am when they can enter classrooms.

Please note that as teachers are not required to be at school until 8.15am and in their classrooms until 8.30am, students who arrive before this time are not supervised.

Unpacking Bags
As we place real importance on student self management, we do ask that you encourage your child to unpack their own belongings at the start of the day and pack their own belongings up at the end of the day. This includes things like collecting newsletters and clothing.

It is really helpful for teachers to begin and end their day with their students in a structured way and to allow this to happen we do ask that parents have said goodbye and left the classroom by 8.45am and that they wait outside until 3pm. We particularly request that there are no preschoolers in classrooms before 3pm and after 8.45am as this can be quite a distraction to both the learning and social routines for our students.
