It is important students are punctual for school. Students should be at school before the first bell to allow them time to settle down and prepare for the start of the school day. Apart from exceptional circumstances, there should be no need for children to be at school before 8.15am. Children who arrive before this time are required to stay under A-block until 8.15am. Please note: families need to make arrangements with the school office if your children will be arriving before 8.15am.
Parents requiring their children to arrive late or depart school early are required by law to sign their children in and out at the school office.
