End of the School Day
The School day finishes at 3:30pm. The school gates are open from
3:25pm. Parents are welcome to wait in the school playground for
their child/children to come out of class. Teachers will
escort their class out to the playground at 3.30pm. All children
not collected within 10 minutes of the end of the school day will
be taken to the school office where attempts will be made to
contact the parent. If children are to be collected by someone
other than the parent/carer, this must be indicated to a member of
the office staff before collection. If a parent/carer or
alternative nominated adult is going to be late to collect their
child then then they must contact the school office to notify
them.
Parking
Parking around the school at the beginning and end of the day is
always a problem. We ask that you walk where possible, or park a
little further away and walk the short distance to the school.
Water, Fruit and Milk
Children are encouraged to bring in a bottle of water and a piece
of fruit for mid morning each day.
If you would like your child to have school
milk, this can be arranged through Cool Milk at School Ltd. Please
contact the school office for an application form, download it from
our 'Letters to Parents' area or go towww.coolmilk.com
