Arrival to school

It is important that children arrive at school with enough time for a settling period prior to the commencement of lessons. Children then have time to organise their books, pencils, etc and experience the classroom as an informal learning environment. Once teaching has commenced, a timetable with established routines operates and children arriving late not only miss the commencement of lessons but also interrupt the remainder of the class. Students who arrive after 8.50am are considered late and need to obtain a late pass from Administration.

Children should not arrive at school before 8.30am. Classrooms are not opened until 8.40am. Children arriving at 8:30am are to sit in the courtyard area where they are supervised by the Deputy or Principal.
