Arrival Times
While the earliest arrival time for children in the mornings is 8:00 am, there are children who arrive before that time.

Parents need to be aware that the school cannot guarantee supervision for any child before 8:00 am. Likewise in the afternoons when school finishes at 3:00 pm we cannot guarantee supervision for children who stay after 3:30 pm.

Picking Your Child Up

A reminder please that if you are dropping off your child to school after 9:00 am, make sure they come in via the office to sign in.
It would be best if you accompanied them.

If you are picking up your child early from school or for an appointment, please do this from the office as well.

Your child will meet you in the school office.

It is not OK to just meet them in the carpark, you need to let the office know. 



Skool Loop App

Have you downloaded the Skool Loop App yet? Do it today and get all your notices, newsletters, give permissions for activities, let us know if your child is going to be absent, check the school calendar, all on your phone.




Student User Agreements

The BoT and staff have been reviewing the Student User Agreement that covers our pupils' use of Computers and the Internet here at school. 

Can you please read it through and sign it—along with your child. If you have any questions about it, please don’t hesitate to get in contact with us here at school.
