School arrival and pickup:
The school is not a child care centre, and as such there are mandated drop off and pick up times. Students who arrive at school via parent drop off or bikes are asked to do so close to 8:30am. Unless accessing before and after school care, only staff are permitted on the grounds prior to 8:10am.
From 8:30am, classrooms are accessible to students. Students are asked to go to their room at this time, and prepare for the day. Once organized, students are asked to stay in the classroom and engage in free time activities until the commencement of learning at 8:50am. Parents of younger students are most welcome to accompany them to their classrooms.
Should your child need to arrive before 8:30am, then supervision is provided in the undercover area between 8:10am - 8:30am. This is primarily for students who travel on the bus. All children are to gather and remain in this area until released to go to their classrooms at 8:30am. No child should be on the school grounds prior to 8:10am.
The school day finishes at 3:00pm. Children are released from class to move to the waiting area near the front gate where they can meet their parents or line up for the bus. Preps are escorted down to the waiting area, or are picked up from outside their classroom. All non-bus students should have left the grounds by 3:15pm. Please be aware that no children are allowed on the play equipment outside of school hours, unless actively supervised by a parent.
As children become very anxious and upset if they are unsure where Mum/Dad are, please let the office know if you are running late, or if there has been a change of plans.
