School Hours and Supervision

Bell Times

Late Arrivals and Early Leavers 

School commences at 9.10am and concludes at 3.10pm. It is a legal requirement that parent/carers give an explanation for a variation in attendance. 

If children arrive later than 9.10am, parents are requested to accompany them to the office, where a late note will be issued for the student to present to the class teacher. An occasional late absence is understandable, but continual late absences impact upon the learning of children. 

Similarly, if children leave early, parents are requested in the first instance to phone in advance, otherwise report to the office where the reason for leaving is recorded and the child is called to the office. 

The school is bound by Child Protection and we have a duty of care to ensure our students safety. Please be advised that children are only released in the care of the Primary Caregiver unless we are informed by note or phone by them that someone else is collecting their child. 

Students will not be released unlsess consent from the Primary caregiver is granted.
