The School Day
First Session 9.00am - 10.30am
Second Session 10.50am - 12.30pm
Third Session 1.30pm - 3.00pm
The school grounds open from 8.30am when the bell rings. Children are not permitted on school grounds before this time. Parents are asked to help by ensuring children are at school in time to be seated in their classrooms at 9.00am when the bell to start the day will be rung.
Children going home for lunch must be back at school and seated in their classrooms by 1.30pm. Teachers must be notified by note or conversation if children are going home for lunch.
Children will be dismissed from their classrooms by their class teachers at 3.00pm. Because this is a very busy time for teachers, parents are asked to wait outside the classrooms until the children are dismissed. Children are expected to go home after school, returning to use the school grounds only under caregiver supervision.
