School Dates and Times

Before and after school supervision

To assist with the care and supervision of your children please note the following:

  • School hours are from 9am to 3pm. The bell goes at 8.57am to ensure school can start on time. Students should be collected at 3pm.

 

  • Students late to school should be accompanied by a parent or caregiver to the front office so their arrival time can be recorded. Students are late once the classes have gone inside. Please be aware that children are required by law to attend school between our opening hours of 9 am and 3 pm.  Reasons for being repeatedly late such as "slept in "or "no parking/ too much traffic" do not have to be accepted by the school. Students should only be picked up early in exceptional circumstances.

 

  • Entry to the school during school hours is via the gate closest to the front office. Please close the gate as you enter and leave.

 

  • Students should not be in the playground before 8.30am as supervision begins at 8.30am unless attending a school supervised activity eg choir. Parents will be contacted if students are left before 8.30am. Please see list below of before and after school providers:

  • For your information the following arrangements apply:

8.30 – 8.57am
