Before School
Students should not arrive at school prior to 8am.
Students arriving prior to 8:30am must sit in the canteen area.
A bell sounds at 8:30am for students to move to their areas, fill water bottles and go to the bathroom. This is also a time to chat with friends, plan for play breaks and get ready to start the day.
School Day
8:50am is the start of the school day, All students should arrive at school by 8:50am, please contact the office if you need support for your child/ren to be at school on time.
3:00pm concludes the school day, all students should remain at school until 3pm.
There are a number of students who are missing essential learning at the start or end of the school day, and sometimes both. This is disruptive to your child’s learning and can impact their sense of belonging. Please see the table below on the significant impact this can have on your child’s overall schooling.
After School
Parents should not congregate around buildings prior to 3:00pm as this can distract students. Families should leave school grounds soon after collecting students at the end of the day. Local parks are close by for social gatherings and additional play time.
Supervision at the front gate occurs until 3:30pm, please make alternative arrangements if you are not able to collect your child/ren by 3:30pm.
Out of Hours School Care
Our onsite PCYC and local child care centres offer before and after school care for students who require supervision prior to 8:00am and/or after 3:30pm. Some families also make arrangements to help each other with timely drop offs and pick-ups.
