School hours |

Please telephone the school (before 8:55am) if your child is to be away sick.
The class teacher or Principal should be consulted if your child is to be away for any other reason. The school follows up any unexplained absence as appropriate. The school is responsible for children during school hours. Children may not leave school early for private reasons unless this has been discussed with the Principal or a teacher, nor are students permitted to leave the school grounds during school hours without being signed out at the School Office by a Parent or Caregiver. The safety of students is paramount. |

Arrival Times |
Unpacking Bags |
|
School begins at 8.55am.
We do ask that students be here by 8.45am in order to prepare for the day. We ask that students do not arrive on site before 8.15am and for younger students we would prefer this to be 8.30am. All students arriving before 8.15 are to wait under the shade cloth area next to Room 13 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. |
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 tasks such as collecting newsletters and clothing.
It is really helpful for teachers to begin and end their day with their students in a structured way. 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 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. |
