A few Reminders

• Please ensure that your child(ren) are in Full school uniform. If you have any questions about uniform require any assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

• Arrival time: For safety reasons, students should not arrive at school before 8:45am. This is when staff begin before school yard duty. If you need your child to be supervised earlier than 8:45am, we have an Oshcare service which runs everyday from 7:00am – 8:45am. Please enquire if you require this service.

• Pick up time: School finishes at 3:15pm every day. If you require your child to be supervised later than that, please also enquire with our Oshcare program.

• Please DO NOT park in the disabled carpark unless you are permitted to do so. 

• Please obey all street parking signs in neighboring streets to avoid being fined and do not perform U-turns outside the school gates.

• Please ensure that everyone crosses the roads at the designated school crossings.
